Whenever I take a snapshots, then look in the "storytelling" folder, there is only one picture, the picture I last snapped. I think they're overwriting eachother. Is there anyway I can prevent this?
Thanks.

Thanks for that, whilst I'm here though I was wondering if you had any ideas on how I'd go about sorting this little "issue?" (Below.)

How can I remove those shadows?! (Covering majority of the floor.)

It looks like these are being made by the roof and they should go away if you go to options>graphics/performance options then turn shadows off. This will turn off shadows everywhere.

Again, THANKS. I promise, one more question then I'll leave you all alone. I'm encountering a problem, I think pictures speak for words.

LOL, sorry luv, but you'll have to explain with words as well.

Wossa matta? Is it the $400 stairs (seems a bit steep :p ) Maybe you can't make them start on the foundation ... well you can't that close to the street ... maybe ... :rolleyes:

(And please don't leave us alone)

I figured it out, don't worry - I just had to bear it and go along. :)

Here's the final result, sorry if the page stretches!

Wow, that's really pretty!! Is it a vacation lot by any chance? I'd love to go to that place for my holiday. :D

It's a home, and it's pretty hectic...Bedroom's are looking snazzy though, if I say myself! Thanks for commenting on it too.

It was alot, trust me. ^___^ A new problem has arisen, I've adjusted the camera settings so that they're bigger and better quality, but they still seem slightly blurred and distorted...Solution, geniuses?! :D

Can you post up a snapshot jpg (the last one taken) and its companion snapshot bitmap from the main Storytelling folder in The Sims 2 folder? That will enable us to compare.

There will inevitably be some loss of detail with in-game snapshots because they are svaed as jpg files with preset compression values. I don't know that there's a facility to fine tune that.

Oh...I solved the problem, I'd set the photo's as best quality, but never saved the settings...Duh. Besides, I've resorted to just screenshotting myself. I'm getting better results. :D
