I want to record my screen playing Sims 3,but every program I download,I start recording and then the playback is just a black screen,it's like when you try and print screen the game.I want to screen record,because it will pick up the sound from my microphone and the game,not like the video recording in the game that only picks up game play sounds...

The in game recorder picks up sound, you just got to make sure its checked "on"But try FRAPS, that's a good video game recorder.

It doesn't pick up microphone sound though and thanks :)

Fraps it good screen recorder and you can set it to record regular sound and microphone, you just have to tell it to record your microphone cause it off by default.

free version only lets me have 30 seconds of video recording,man that sucks :/

yes , and it also supports voice chat and you can create a chatroom to converse with friends inside or outside a game.
