  • When you press c in the game a screenshot appears in your EA folder.
    After that you can upload your picture to photobucket or another site where you can store pictures.
  • A tip for taking screenshots in game - stop the activity then hit Tab.

    This allows you to use these keys for positioning the camera:
    q and e to raise and lower
    w and s to move in closer or farther away
    a and d to move to the left and right
    z and x to zoom in or out (better to use w and s when possible because it does not distort the perspective)

    You can use the "~" key to unpause time and then pause it again to get shots of things as they develop without repositioning the camera for each shot.

    Have fun taking pictures.

    This thread got necro'ed by a piece of spam, and considering this i've removed the recent posts. That out of the way, I'm now closing the thread. :smile:
