What's wrong with TAB and Printscreen?
I'd also volunteer that Printscreen & TAB is only a viable option if you have a good PC. My old laptop took a good 20 minutes to TAB out. Addison takes a second on a bad day.
I'll second that! I have a 6 year old P4 1.7GHz machine, with it's max of 1 GB of RAM, and I force the poor thing to deal with around ~6-10GB of downloads (just did a cull the other day and haven't run a recount of file size yet). On the (thankfully rare) occasions when I do need to toggle to desktop for some reason (such as to start up the aforementioned Sim Camera), it takes for-freakin'-ever.
I really need to run another cull. Even after getting rid of the insane poly count downloads from Caravan Shop and a bunch of "nice, but I never use that..." stuff, my game loading time is still in the "start it loading, go do something else for an hour" range.
And yeah, I know of F10, but it's easier to just ignore the UI, point, and shoot. And the red pause frame, as far as I recall, remains up even when F10 is used. Yes, I know there's a hack to remove the red frame too, but why do all of that when the in game camera is adequate?
J. M. Pescado:
Don't you normally crop the picture anyway? Otherwise you get all sorts of stuff that you don't want in the picture, stuff that is potentially incriminating.
Zazazu:
Like what? Other sims? Background deco?
I play the game full-screen, so if I'm doing something that needs to show the UI, it's no biggie (except that I play at a really high resolution, so my UI's tiny). If I'm taking pics elsewhere (like something that's windowed), nah. I only have my first name on my comp, and that's already out there. I don't keep my porn on my desktop, either.
The image is fluid, as it's my last-taken image in-game (Gen 5 firstborn, yay!). The only slightly controversial thing I have on there is my PS emulator and the folder for my N64 emu.

Yes. Everytime I can't avoid having some irrelevant background character caught in the frame, people always ask about them. So I generally crop the images to remove irrelevant extras and things that would confuse the action.
Zazazu:
I see what you mean. That's just because we want to know if it's us! My sims are thoroughly fake. I also take my photos so that there's rarely empty space that I don't want shown. Partially because I'm lazy. Ok, mostly because I'm lazy.
