Title: Making a Print Screen of Your Sims Post by: Gamblor on 2007 May 20, 19:26:44 How do you create a print screen or a shot of a Sim with the pie menu up so you can show people on the forums? I have tryed to take a photo shot in the game but the pie menu closes everytime I take one. Is there something else I could do. Sorry I am new to this.
Title: Re: Making a Print Screen of Your Sims Post by: SaraMK on 2007 May 20, 19:38:35 The easiest way is to use a stand-alone screen capture program. The best one out there, and the one most people use, is Gadwin PrintScreen. It's free. Google it.
You could also use the built-in screen capture tool in Windows. Press CTRL and the Print SCRN button together, and the image gets copied to the clipboard. You will then need to paste it into a graphics editing program like MS Paint (which you already have in Windows), Photoshop, or some other program.

Title: Re: Making a Print Screen of Your Sims Post by: Gamblor on 2007 May 20, 20:06:52 How do you open up the clipboard?
Title: Re: Making a Print Screen of Your Sims Post by: SaraMK on 2007 May 20, 20:09:40 You can't. You need to open a graphics program and chose Paste. Assuming you added an image to the clipboard using CTRL + Print SCRN, the image will appear.

Title: Re: Making a Print Screen of Your Sims Post by: Gamblor on 2007 May 20, 20:30:42 One last question. How do you post it on the forums?
Title: Re: Making a Print Screen of Your Sims Post by: starrling on 2007 May 20, 20:34:43 You need to use an image hosting site like Photobucket or something. Put it there, copy the location and plug it into your post.
