@nycbiglI'm glad to hear the game is running well. If you do ever start having trouble, there are people with much more knowledge than I have who post here too, so you'd have no trouble getting an expert opinion. (This is also true of the Sims forums where you posted a few days ago; in addition to the CAW section, there's a New Members thread in help/technical discussions.)
There are a few ways to take a screenshot in Windows 10, but the one I use is windows key-shift-S. The game does have to be in windowed mode for this to work. You drag your cursor over the screen to capture the shot you want, and it's saved to the clipboard. I usually just open Paint (you can search for it in the Start menu in the lower left corner) and then paste the shot into it (still crtl-V). From there, you can resize or crop the image to your liking. If you're not getting the effects you want, Paint 3D might work better. You can also right-click on an already saved image to open it in whichever app you choose.
I hope you have a great time at Comic Con, and you know where to find me when you're back to TS3.
Hi, I know it's been a while but I'm just giving an update.
I still can't use the Edit In Game option in CAW but what I did was after making sure all of my roads were thoroughly connected and after I was finished building mountains and adding terrain colors, I exported my game and have been adding lots while playing the game. It HAS been very annoying when I realized that some of my roads aren't 100% straight and that the lots won't snap on next to the road. And that I can't customize the size of the lots. I have been saving lots and businesses from the other worlds but when you need a premade game lot that is like 30x54 I have no choice but to add an empty lot that is 64x64. It wastes so much space. I could be using that spot for other venues or residential homes. OH Well! It's a good thing I made a very large world and have a lot of space. But is IS such a waste. I also can't add terrain colors after I have exported the game too. So if I want to add an asphalt color in the spaces between lots I can't. Plus certain community objects and trees are not available like there are in CAW. There are a lot less community trees. I was looking for a very certain tree that I used a lot while I was building in CAW that looked the most like cactus but when I exported and began making lots while playing the game I found that tree was not an option and I couldn't use it as a between lots fillers.
Despite all of the annoying things I am having fun building. I am thinking about creating my home town of New York City next when I am good and ready. LOL!
BTW, Comic Con was great. One of the panels my brother and I went to gave a free subscription to the DC Universe internet streaming channel. What a geekgasm I had. WOOHOO! LOL! :eahigh_file:
Again, thank you so much for all of your help. You are very kind and generous. You Rock. ❤️ 🙂
