Hi! I've downloaded your mod in dire hopes of finally getting a photo studio to work so sims will come to my business and I can get paid by taking photos of them. However, even after I welcome and build some relationship with my customers, the option "ask for photoshoot" under the "small business" tab at cameras and tripods is greyed out with the annotation that "There's no known sim around to photograph". I have given my played sim the task to "take photos" and both sims were in the same room as the tripod, so that can't be it. What am I missing here?

Hello! The ask for photoshoot interaction is for customers to get photos taken, not for employees!
For a photo studio, you just use the tripod to take pictures and earn money. It's that simple! There is also a new interaction 'Transfer Photo to Customers' so you can deliver the photos to them but it's optional LOL.
Where can I find the "transfer photo to costumers" interaction? I haven't found it on the pictures themselves, the costumer sim and neither on the business owner sim. Also, I do get paid when taking a picture of a customer on the Get To Work Photo Studio (80 Simoleons), but not when doing so via tripod, camera from inventory or phone.
To fully clarify what I did, I'm using the tripods, photo subject markers and cameras from the Moschino pack and used those to "take photo of..." or respectively, "ask to pose..." and then "take photo of...". The instant payout only happens when I'm using the Get To Work Photo Studio. I could of course just sell the photos normally via inventory or business displays, but I'm curious about the "transfer to costumers" option you mentioned.
Hi! After I checked the codes I found that I indeed forgot to add the earn money for tripods part, I'll fix this in the update!
As for cameras, I found that when I wrote the mod, I configured that you have to 'Tend Tripod' and earn a buff to be able to earn money for that. I'll change the test so it'll be satisfied as long as an employee is taking photos for a customer.
The transfer photo part seems to not work as intended and will be fixed too.
