[FIXED] Screenshots in buildmode uninhabited lot get stored in live mode camera

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All exisiting expansion packs.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Make a screenshot inside a house that has no household.
What happens when the bug occurs? Screenshot gets stored in an inaccessible place.
What do you expect to see? Screenshots getting stored in the screenshots folder.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

When I am building on a lot that has no household and I make some screenshots I get the following message:

"Your pictures can be viewed in the Screenshot Manager, which is found within the Camera Options in Live Mode."

The problem is, as this lot has no household, it has no live mode, and therefore I can't access said screenshots in any possible way. I have to resort to taking screenshots with printscreen, which is rather messy because it also screenshots the UI.

I would like to see screenshots in this situation also being stored in the screenshots folder instead of in some obscure place in a game mode that is at that time unavailable.

    @AlHollandiyah this issue should be fixed in the most recent 6/19/18 patch.  Could you please test and let us know if it now works properly in your game?  Thanks!

  • As far as I tested it works now. I haven't tested for more then 10 minutes, and previously sometimes the issue would come after a bit, but I assume that if it is listed as fixed, this will not happen again. Thanks!
