Screen Shots are different than the scrapbook photos. Screenshots are the pictures you take in game. The max memories each sim can have is 300. EA advises to turn memories off in the launcher. It will lag your game. I will ask another helper if they know if there is a way to retrive the scrapbook photos but I do know you can post them to FB and you may be able to make copies off of FB??

screenshot pictures are just that pictures you took in game the scrapbook i think has no where to store the images and is just used to upload the images to your my page If you upload your memories to the site, you could try right click the picture "Save Picture to Desktop" and save it to a folder in your computer

Just checked further and there is no file for memory pics. You have to upload them to the sims 3 web or facebook and make copies of them from there to save to your computer
TY Rum! I dont have my memories turned on.

That is a whole lot of uploading and clicking to save 300 memories for each sim. Glad I have mine turned off. The pics in game in screenshots are better anyway!
