Hi, you've probably got this question a bunch of times, but how do you take your Sims Screenshots for your lookbooks? I can only get clear pictures in CAS and I experimented with poses once but I could adjust the camera correctly! TIA
Oh hey! Strangely enough you’re the first person who has asked about how I do stuff.
With the exception of my group shots and some creative images, I take my sim screenshots for my look-books exclusively in CAS.
1. I have changed my CAS background to a plain colour to make editing much easier.
2. I use SRWE to take high-res screenshots, just in case I want to get all fancy with my editing at a later stage. You can check out how to use SRWE in this wee tutorial. This is EXACTLY how I take my shots. You can watch a more in-depth tutorial here.
3. I have downloaded a bunch of poses that can be used in CAS. I’ll link my favourites below. In case you don’t know, these poses are activated by selecting the trait which they’ve been set to. For example, to access the Curves Ahead poses, you have to select the “Neat” trait. Just be careful that you only have one package per trait. If you have more than one, neither will work.
4. Doing all the above enables me to easily cut them out and play with them in Photoshop - but you could do what I do with any basic editing program. I don’t do a whole lot with my screen shots as I want my sims to look like what you’d get in the game.
Let me know if you want any extra info.
Anyhoo, the CAS pose packages I particularly love...
