I created this collection for my own use, as I was sick of going to 15 different places in the catalog for items I use all the time. It is a residential and community collection so all of the items will be usable in both places. The collection has a custom icon with a cheerfully smiling female sim, and will have the float text 'HP's Bitchin Pics Stuff' - yes, I know the text in the screenshot is different... I edited it using the collection creator at DJS Sims after taking the pic and I'm not loading the game again just to fix that.
None of the items listed here are included. This is JUST a collection file for your convenience. If you don't download everything I link to, the collection will still work, you just won't be able to use anything you didn't download - it just won't show up in the collection... I -highly- recommend absolutely everything listed here. This is intended to be a great introductory set for people who are taking beginners at taking pics or making movies.
I have all expansions, and all these items work for me with no conflicts - your mileage may vary. There is at least one item requiring each expansion included, so to use the whole thing, you'll need all EPs, and probably Pets specifically for the collection itself to work (as it is residential and community both).
PLEASE read the descriptions and info on each of the places I link to as many of these items are quirky and you need to know how to use each one (and if you need expansions for them). Don't ask me unless they're my items, please - individual creators support their own content.
Every item I have listed here is free and currently available.
Collection will be updated - check back for updates!
Yes, I am a pose hack and picture stuff addict - I collect EVERYTHING that might possibly be useful to picture takers and people wanting more poses. So if you know of something new that's come out or something I've missed, please let me know - whereever it is! However, I will only be including free, freely-available items in this collection (no pay, gift, or hoarded items, please). I'll update the title and post text when there are updates.
Updated 27 Mar 07 - Added Decorgal's talk overlay hack and JohnBrehaut1's More Unique OMSPs.
Updated 07 Feb 08 - Added Aikea Guinea's paintings, several new boxes from Decorgal and Jaydee, John's new OMSPs, Callum's animation painting, and Babbye's reflective walls. Also added into the collection carpets matching my walls that were already included (already linked).

- See the Pictures, Movies, Stories, and Poses page on the Content List, which has some more items you'll probably be interested in, especially Squinge's pose/animation hacks, which can't go in collections as they're pie menu options on sims.
