[FIXED] Screenshots made in game are blurred

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Deutsch
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.45.62.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Make a screenshot with the c button on your Keyboard and compare it with a screenshot made with the print button on your Keyboard. The srceen made with the c button is completely blurred, the screen made with the print button is sharp.
What happens when the bug occurs? Screenshots made with the c button are blurred.
What do you expect to see? I want sharp screenshots
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The newest patch of today (new Gallery)

Hi, since the patch of today (31.07.2018) screenshots made in game with the c button are completely blurred. I attach two Pictures.

In Deutsch: Seit dem heutigen Patch sind Screens, die man per c-Taste im Spiel macht, total unscharf. Dieses Problem habe nicht nur ich, sondern auch andere.



    • Screenshots taken using the C key are no longer fuzzy. We had some schmutzle on the lens we had to clean off.

    Fixed in Patch 1.46.18

    Same here. I hope this gets fixed soon. I play story lines and make photos all the time. But the photos are so blurred now that I hardly can use them for my stories.

    Thanks for all the report

    It's been stated by the gurus that this will be fixed in the next patch (no date yet).

    As a workaround, i recommend using FRAPS (just google, it's free) or some other external screenshot program or use prnt-screen and paste into an external program like paint.

    According to SimGuruKate on Twitter, this will be fixed this week: https://twitter.com/SimGuruKate/status/1029073639537180672

    Mit Win 10 braucht es kein externes Programm; einfach die Windows- und die Drucktaste auf der Tastatur gleichzeitig drücken. Die Screenshots sind im Ordner 'Bilder' zu finden.

    As a workaround I'm using Windows 10's built-in Game Bar for screenshots. They don't have the metadata to have them show up in the screenshot manager in game or tag sims for memories, but I'm not using that feature at the moment anyway.

    Anytime I take a screen shot, it comes out pixelated and not smooth like other creators. Here is an example: * click *. (the image is the same that i linked but i linked it in case it didn't work). Any help on how to fix it? (that image was taken in CAS)

    also all my game settings are on the highest possible and my screenshot settings are on the highest possible, too
  • Same problem here as everybody.  Since lastest patch screenshots look like they were taken at 50% resolution, then rescaled back up to your current game resolution looking blurry and low quality.

    Won't use Fraps or PrntScrn or OBS or whatever since all of that captures my Sims UI...
