This is wonderful! I have been hoping someone would do something like this for a while. Have you thought about doing the same default frame replacement for the photos from the handheld camera?

It isn't hard, so if I had Bon Voyage installed I'd be happy to do it. Unfortunately, I don't have that EP. If anyone wanted to do it, but wasn't sure where to start, I'd happily point them in the right direction.

I hope someone steps up! I liked the black frames for awhile, but they don't look as "homey" as I'd like. Your brown recolor is great!

Love what you did. What did you use to get the bride and Groom poses so they're holding each other??

You need to use poseboxes, cheats and probably OMSPs. You can find some resources for posing sims here: http://www.thesimswritersguild.com/...p/thread-6.html

The black really is so much classier. For the sake of OCD I might be interested in trying to recolor the handheld camera frames myself. Where do you suggest starting?

The toughest part is finding the textures to replace. Once you do that, replacing them you can follow the tutorial: http://www.sims2wiki.info/wiki.php?..._Sims_2_Texture . Basically you have to skip the make a recolor part and find the file yourself. Once you do that, it's pretty much cookbook.

To find the file, look in your EA Games/The Sims 2 Bon Voyage/TS Data/Res/3D folder. The textures will almost certainly be in the Objects 6 file. You can usually tell from the name what the file contains, but if you click on the name in plugin view, you can see the texture to be sure. You can then extract and replace as per the tutorial. Keep in mind that there may be several textures. The uni frames have separate textures for the wall frame, the table frame and the matting.
