Screen Capture program?
kuronue:
I use FRAPS 'cause it's free and I don't mind my stuff being BMPs (you can do other formats if you get the paid version), and it does movies too (not that I use that for Sims)

Emma, F10 gets rid of the UI before you take the pic using printscreen.
Thanks Jade :-*

It's too bad that FRAPS doesn't have non gaming applications... Well, it does catch when Avalon does something like Flip3D but that's it.
I've been looking for some software to capture thread screenshots for a while, and it seems like SnagIt works for that sort of thing. It's also got a little bit of Video capture ability, but it compresses to... Microsoft Video 1. Crap.

If you go into Gadwin's properties, you can set all of those things so there's no popups, doesn't minimize and no need for windowed mode. I have mine set to autosave with a name (I use the date and change it every playsession - it appends a number at the end) into a folder when I hit printscreen (you can use ctr-printscreen or something so you can have the regular one too.)
You do need to pause a minute after taking a pic or you'll lose one. I don't usually click that fast, so not so much trouble with that. But I've also found that the dang thing will spontaneously change its settings (either that or there's a mouse playing sims around or something). The other day it set itself to auto-email the screenie, so it kept dropping me out of the game looking for an email account that doesn't exist on that login (dropping me into a windows helper thingie) and I couldn't figure out what was going on. Of course, when I finally decided just to leave the helper up so I wouldn't drop out anymore and keep playing - then I lost a whole session of pics :p So check the properties before you play to make sure they're still set where you put them.
Or my computer's haunted. Probably that. The other one is - the mouse clicks things all on its own.

Yeah that. THe downside to using this program is I've taken about 2000 or sim pictures since I started using it :)
