Hi, all!Does anybody know of a good and free photo album style program for Sims 3 screenshots? I want only basic functions: to separate pictures from different families, to add descriptions to pictures and to organize the timeline.The Sims 1 had that feature of generating html pages for each family and that was great, but Sims 3 just throws all screenshots in one folder and that's it. Currently, I separate screenshots in folders for different families and add descriptions for the pictures as file names, but the size of the file names (therefore the descriptions) is very limited.So, how do you organize screenshots? Any software you recommend?

I organize mine on my Wordpress blog, then I also have a tinypic account since photobucket became a paysite...

I use https://myalbum.com/You can make seperate albums for each save.But the only downside is free accounts are limited to 5 albums I believe.Not sure of the limit on photos but I have at least 300 photos on there.

I have my sims screenshots on Flickr nowadays. I've already used Google Photos and Photobucket.Another suggestions is create your own photo album on PowerPoint or a similar program.

Thanks, everybody.@jillbg A blog wouldn't be good for my case.

Imgur is my favorite site for hosting photos. And it has the ability to make albums as well, though I haven't used it much.

But I do know to make a new album you click your profile pic on the homepage and go to "images." There, you click the "all images" drop down and click "+New Album." From there, you title the album and give it a description. Then you can select multiple photos from your images and click "add to album" and select the album from the drop down and wa-la!

Like @thuggishsplicer I use the album feature on Flickr. Unfortunately, it's not free, but I didn't relish the idea of reuploading and linking images in my many threads in Stories and Legacies so paying was easier.

I use Imgur now, but I don’t find it a very user friendly site. It’s annoying for instance that when I upload a lot of pictures at once, all numbered, they end up in some totally random order. And you can choose ‘order by file name’ but for some reason that doesn’t work?

As for collecting pictures in a story: I use Weebly for that. That service is absolutely amazing (especially considering it’s for free).

No. I pay nothing and all my pictures are public.

Have they changed their policy again then? There was quite an outrage two years ago.

Now you can share the photos, but non-pay accounts' photos will be accompanied by an absurdly large photobucket watermark.
