Taking Pictures in the Ultimate Collection

How do I take pictures of things going on in The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection? Fraps works fine for Games on Steam, but I absolutely can not get it to take pictures of The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection. I could use Fraps to take pictures in Sims 2 before I started using the Ultimate Collection, but it stopped working after I installed the Ultimate Collection. (Argh, I wish my disc drive had not broken.)

Is there any Screen Shot program that will take full screen pictures and get around Origin? It seems to be Origin that is screwing up Fraps, since Fraps will take pictures of games on Steam.

  • Hmm I use fraps to take UC pictures. I don't have my game tied to Origin though. Have you tried choosing a different button to take the screen shots? Maybe the one you are trying to use has some other function to it, stopping it from taking pictures. I don't know of another offhand, I have heard of people trying to use others but it only takes picks of the desktop :expressionless: Maybe put Origin in offline mode when you play? I don't know if that would make a difference or not.
  • I have a question, do you have a camera option on your computer that is sponsored by xbox (aka microsoft?) If you do press the windows button and G at the same time and you should get a white bar at the bottom with a snap shot and recorder option. You can take snap shots with it if you do.
  • I use the print screen tool and my game is always in windowed mode since the ingame camera mad finding shots so hard by not putting then in any kind of order.
