Just how the hell many pictures do you have to acquire on vacay...

:D
I guess I should have mentioned I use YAFSScreen, it saves the screenshots I take to the folder I set it to, in the file type I want and stuff. I later crop them because I usually don't need the whole picture and I'd rather not resize them if I don't have to. When I save them, I name-number them according to their place in the story/chapter.
Then, I open the folder I put that chapters pictures in - in Window Explorer (thumbnail view, switch to flimstrip if i need to) - so I can see the pictures while I'm typing up that chapter in Notepad.

I like SnagIt for screenshots -- it gives me more flexibility than a simple printscreen. I do use the crappy in-game camera for stories I'm going to upload to the Exchange, though. I used storybook viewer for a while, but eventually found it too clunky. Editing the .xml directly is a good idea, I wish I'd thought of that before.
I proof in Wordpad, but find actually writing in it troublesome since I can't see the photos. I'm a bad bunny, though, and am behind on everything.
If I'm editing text in wordpad, I often have the storytelling folder open as well. I have it set to the "thumbnail" view in "date modified" or "date taken" order so they are in the same order as the story more or less. That way I can see the sequence and don't need to check the picture numbers too often.

Oh, sheesh, I am so far behind it's ridiculous. I'm procrastinating because I hate Uni when I can't cheat to shorten it, and I have 11 Sims to get through in this generation. Give me a nice romance Sim over an insane family Sim any day.
I wonder if there's an .xml editor that shows pictures. That's probably not even possible, is it?
Yeah, it was quad + cousins in college that did it for me. I had to actually play through, too, because I was working Merivale towards the 20-woohoo want, plus trying to couple off the rest of the quads and keep Carter from burning the kitchen down. And the hula. Oh, lordy, the hula. Between that and the fact that Albert's girlfriend happens to be a vacation local who came over for three days and proceeded to teach everyone to bow, I almost hit the smite button. Nevermind that they also taught their little sister the hula when she came to visit and now everyone in the main house is autonomously turning on the stereo and hula-ing.
So I think about four of the thirty slides of Ridges 3 is written in. I'm just not liking them at the moment, but I know that as soon as I get Aquitaine done with having babies and my population-reducing plan over with, I'll be all for them again. Dark Side of the Moon 2 is fairing better. First half is done, I just got bored with it when I was forced to have everyone but the first child meditate and then had another stupid quad outbreak, but a good marry-in against my personal rules gave them much-needed food rights.

I truly don't know what to tell you. When I click the link in my quote above, it goes to the page, and the download links work. :-\
Whoa, I guess they ban certain IP address, then. It never works for me for more than half an hour, just tried and still gave me error, but when I tried to access the site through a proxy, it works just fine ???
