A lot of Content Creators just use a software to Screenshot the game and in fact websites where you upload to want you to do this because you DO get everything in the frame you want to, the game camera has always been a bit weird and doesn't take the picture exactly where it looks like it is and then may look further back or too close in.
I recommend IrfanView which also has a "special" paste option that lets you attach another picture to another. First i go into IrfanView where i press C, set the Hotkey just to F11 and press start, i press Esc just to exit out of the Test Selection then i go into my Sims game, I press Tab and then position the camera in the game where i want it and then i press F11 then i make a selection around the screen, i click at the top left corner in the game screen and then it lets me automatically quickly drag it out over the bottom right corner and position it then i click and i have my Screenshot :) then i Save As as Jpeg. It allows me to take a picture of the screen how i see it with the game camera and get it in as close or away as i need to. This is great if you upload them to other websites and not to The Gallery of course but it could help for our Gallery Screenshots too.
Im seeing the game automatically makes the screenshots too i wondered why they looked awful when looking at The Gallery, i think it would be a good idea to let us add our own Screenshots from our computer instead, the 3D model is especially awful because you can't really tell what it's supposed to be, or they need to improve it if they don't trust people to over edit their screenshots which they do on some websites LOL it really is quite misleading, but the current uploads as soon as i looked at them i couldn't tell how it was supposed to look inside it exactly but i want to see that, a good example is how Mod The Sims gets their users to do their Screenshots which is the full screen. Plus they get people to take Screenshots of every Floor Level as close up as possible while being able to see everything that needs to be seen so... Maxis? you could get it to do that? rather than the front and then some weird 3D Model.
