Thank you everyone for replying! You were all a great help to me.♥ I do have replies under the cut, but in short, due to the way I modify screenshots, I'm going to give Fraps a try with TS4. I loved it for TS2, and the pictures people have been taking with Fraps look really nice too.

Replies below (even though I pretty much summed it up here (>_>) ).

✿ simsnacks replied to your post:The way screenshots are saved in TS4 is not goof....

I sorted mine by date and it was a little more organized. It is dumb though.

✿ faalq replied to your post:The way screenshots are saved in TS4 is not goof....

Just sort them by date modified or something. I’m actually quite glad we get the option of having uncompressed screenshots now. No need for third party capture programs.

Thank you! I did try it and it kind of works, but I think at the same time it doesn't more for personal reasons. I don't modify every picture I take, but for going back and looking at my screenshots for myself I still like keeping them in order. I definitely agree with you on the uncompressed screenshots.

✿ simcopath replied to your post:The way screenshots are saved in TS4 is not goof....

Mine still organize themselves in order? Like they’re labelled differently, but it’s just date and time taken (e.g. 09-02-14_10-23 PM). They still follow in order if you have them sorted by Name or Date Created! :3

Thank you too! Unfortunately it doesn't work quite as well as I'm used to where I don't modify every picture and still like to have all the screenshots in the same order. (I only modify those I justify sharing on tumblr or think I might share.) Others have had success with FRAPs working to TS4, so I'm thinking I'll go back to using that. :3

✿ thatmaloriegirl reblogged your post:The way screenshots are saved in TS4 is not goof....

If you use Fraps for screenshots, it’ll keep them in order. I love it!

✿ mysimplesimblr reblogged your post:The way screenshots are saved in TS4 is not goof....

Yeah, I’m definitely thinking of switching over to FRAPS. I mean, I keep pen/paper notes about what happened on what...

✿ jettschae replied to your post:The way screenshots are saved in TS4 is not goof....

The difference I found between the TS4 “C” screenshots and the ones I take with Fraps is pretty drastic in my game. My “C” screenshots I take with the built in camera are SUPER blurry, whereas my Fraps ones are clear (and they’re the ones I post!)

This is great to know! Thank you! I think I will give Fraps a try. I haven't used it since TS2 because it caused TS3 to crash, so, it's worth trying again. :3

✿ farfallesims replied to your post:The way screenshots are saved in TS4 is not goof....

it must be different for other versions because i haven’t had this happen. NA version has them sorted by month-day-year-hour-minute-AM/PM, with 2+ appended if more than one ss is taken in that minute. this format always stays 100% in order.

It's the same for me too. It stays in order if I put it in order by modified date, but where I modify only some of my pictures that puts them out of order. Before having them arranged that way I had pictures from one moment of game play in-between game play that took place almost 12 hours later. I'm going to use FRAPS as my solution though, especially since those using the program have really nice and clear screen shots. :3

Options, ts3 camera.

I don’t have the game, but. D; I’ve heard in the game options you can change the camera to TS3 settings. D: Have you tried that?

I did change it to TS3 camera mode, but you know what, I never used the middle mouse button and didn't clue in to try it until now. I hate looking like an idiot, but glad at the same time here because then I would have kept playing like an angry idiot. XD;;; Thank you both!!♥♥ :3

I was in CAS too. It wasn’t working then, but the moment I got out it started to work again. Kinda. Idk, I feel like a fish outta water here T_T

Me too. I'm almost literally floundering. haha I had a worse time with Sims Medieval though. It's going to take some getting used to all the same I think. (@_@)

Not really sure if we’ll get more hairstyles than the ones in the demo. We probably won’t.

:/ That's probably true...

The depth of the side profile? If you mean what I think then you have to put your sims on their side and drag their forehead. Don't be inside detail mode though.

Ah, that did it! Thanks XD

Turn your sim to the side and highlight the entire face to change the side profile

I could not for the life of me figure out how to highlight the whole face lol But now that I know, this is exactly how to do it, thanks XD

I hope EA releases some sort of tutorial with this CAS. There seem to be a lot of hidden features for dumbasses like me to search through lol

He looks a bit different in my game. But I like him and his new gap teeth.
