• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Screenshots

Lots of different ways to do it. One is by pressing your "Print Screen" key. This will copy an image to the clipboard. You can then switch over to an image editing software window, such as PSP7, and paste as a new image and then return to the sim which will have paused. There are other screenshot utilities out there, FRAPS I think it is for one, that will automatically take screen shots for you and store them in its own folder until you are ready to view them. I think there is a limit on the number in any one session. You can also set the interval between snaps. Its pretty good. Its a sure bet, too, that there are other screenshot utilities that I know nothing about.

Cheers,

I believe the free version of FRAPS leaves a watermark on the screenshots and only saves as a bmp. I have the payware version of FRAPS and can save in jpeg or other format and do full length videos, but I found it is not compatible with windows 8 or 8,1. Mgrab or Multigrab ( http://en.softonic.com/s/mgrab ) is free and works in WinXP, 7 and 8/8.1.
