Major Bug With FreeTime - City Planner Architect's Table
JadeEliott:
Ms. B, with all due respect to a Sims 2 storyteller as great as you are:
Why the *heck* are you still using the in-game camera?
Get a good Screen Capture program, like Gadwin PrintScreen. I have been using that, with Irfanview to batch process after, for years.
http://www.gadwin.com/printscreen/
http://www.irfanview.com/
Both free.

It's free, the pictures are big enough and high enough quality for my current purposes (in fact, part of my own post-processing drops the .jpg quality in favor of smaller file sizes), it automatically subtracts the UI, which screen cap utilities don't... and for those times when I actually do want the UI and/or a bigger image (such as when making set preview pics of my objects), I still have a copy of Sims Camera floating around on my desktop ;)
Now if someone figured out how to make a hack that made the in-game camera take screen-resolution screenshots, with a toggle for turning the UI capture on or off - and maybe with that annoying camera flash firmly squelched - now that I would want!
And now back to re-shooting what I can of what got borked yesterday by the bug... *Grumbles about not being able to set age -> baby so she can replay a birthday*

What's wrong with TAB and Printscreen?
JadeEliott:
Ms. B, do you know about hitting f10 to make the ui disappear? You probably do, but just checking.

My Printscreen is bitchy. I was trying to document a (failed) attempt at being able to set any lot, any where, even pre-existing, as a hobby lot, and could not for the life of me get it to take new Printscreens after the first couple. And my key doesn't stick. For my normal purposes, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the in-game camera + camera hack. Instantaneous pictures. I have them at highest quality and biggest size. I don't do those silly mouse-overs-to-see-the-names. If you can't tell who I'm writing about in the photo, pay more attention! :P
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.
