Hi,I just noticed something!
I took some screenshots of my sims and when I wanted to edit the shot in photoshop,I noticed it was too low quality that I couldn't even delete the background.I've been playing sims 4 for almost 2 years but I'm noticing it now :D
My graphics is also set to ultra.In game everything looks fine but I don't know why the screenshots are terribly bad quality ,do you even have this issue or not?bc I see ppl share their photos and they're looking really good but mine is not.
please help me,It just makes me so freak out!!!! XO

XO There is a setting in-game for the resolution and quality of screenshots and films, but this may not help you much. Most people who are serious about taking screenshots either use some form of the computer's "print screen" function, or use an outside program that automates the print screen process. I use Gadwin PrintScreen on my Win laptop, on my Mac I just use the CMD+Shift+3 shortcut to save the pics automatically. :-) Edit: The part about deleting the background may also have to do with your PS tool settings. |

Edit:How do you take screenshots in game using Gadwin printscreen? I downloaded the app but now I can't take screenshots in game :\ I searched everywhere about it but found nothing.

I downloaded the app but now I can't take screenshots in game :\ I searched everywhere about it but found nothing. Check the settings of the program :-) For mine, I've set it up so that when I press the "prt sc" (print screen) button on my keyboard, Gadwin will take a screenshot and automatically save it in a specified folder. (When the program is running of course - which I have it do automatically on boot, so I don't forget.) I find it very useful but yeah you do have to try some settings that work for you. |

yeah,mine is also like that,it's the "prt sc" button for taking a full screen screenshot but when I go into the game and I press the button,nothing happens.But when I do it outside of the game and in desktop,it works.actually it only works when it's in windowed mode.

I found some results on google searching "printscreen doesn't work game", a few people said that some printscreen programs work and others don't, and someone else said to try the CTRL+PRTSC keys together. Maybe you can dig deeper into the search results, it seems like it's a problem for some people (I don't have this problem myself with Sims but I have seen it some years ago with a different game). Generally people recommend a program called Fraps (it's very well-known) which sounds like it might work for people who get this problem with the regular print screen function, but I've never tried it. |

I searched also about this all day,yes for some worked but not for everyone.And I also tried Fraps but I realized the quality is even worse than the screenshot taken by game(with "C" key in game).
I found another one which is windows' default app(xbox app)and it's called game bar.but that again only works in windowed mode and when I wanted to take screenshots in fullscreen,the photo just turned to a blank white photo.
Now I'm using the same method for screenshotting XD
