I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but can you you pose people in TS3 like in TS2? Am I just missing something?

I haven't been able to. wasn't it a patch/expantion that let them pose?

I really don't remember... It might have been Bon Voyage, but I don't know, I'd have to like uninstall my bon voyage and see if they're still there

You can't really pose them, but if you turn off free will and turn on moveobjects, you can make them stand still-ish for pics...

And even paused, sims looking at another sim will turn their head/eyes if you move the second sim. Just place Sim B (the one you want them looking at) a few tiles away, then stick Sim A near them and tell them to walk somewhere near-ish Sim B. Sim A will turn their head to look at Sim B, and then you can pause and pick them and/or Sim B up and get them looking off to the side or however you like.
