I'm not taking about the notification that takes you to the screenshot manager (that can be turned off), but the basic screenshot notification that fills up your notification wall every single time you take a screenshot.Honestly after taking 100 screenshots in 5 minutes I don't need to be told that I've taken a screenshot...

Or have it fill up your 200 notifications quickly. Thank the developers for the trash button...

We should be able to turn it off.

I agree, this notification is unnecessary and crowds out useful notifications. I use the notifications to tell me any special notes from the Sims, events, festivals, that stuff. I don't need to know I've taken a screen shot. The sound notification is okay, but that corner fills up all the time.

Thank you for all agreeing, hopefully Maxis is listening to remove or disable this unnecessary notification.

Pls remove notifications for screenshots or change it to a sound

Sorry I’m late af, but I made a mod that disables screenshot notifications in case anyone’s still interested :)

In TS2 I get a camera clicking/shutter moving sound and a quick light flash. Quite adequate notice and gives the feeling of actually taking a photo. The shot then goes into the album of the currently active household, not a general basket.

I have no idea why they have this notification, it is so annoying. I take screenshots using reshade instead. You do not even have to use a filter, you can just run reshade, go into camera mode (tab) and then take screenshots. Only works if you have a PC though.

Despite this being an old thread, I still find it valid and would like to add my support for this change as well. My notifications fill up way too quickly and I take a lot of screenshots. I don't need to be notified every single time I do it. The first time was enough. Even if it was reduced to once per game session or save file, that would be a huge improvement.

At this point I would settle for this.

I don't see why we need a notification for it beyond the very first time anyways. I know dang well when I've pressed the C button. I don't need a notification for every chair I've placed so why we need this is beyond my comprehension.

Have they ever explained why this is? I’m even bothered by the one time (after starting up the game) Sims3 does that, I don’t get why they ever decided players need to get this notification every time. Maybe it’s a bug/glitch?

Same here. I may be old, but I do know when I've taken a shot. Reminders neither needed nor wanted.

It's 2020 and we still can't hide those annoying notifications. As a player who takes a lot of screenshots, this is really an issue.

Oh yes, why is there no toggle for this yet? The hiccup is more than enough to know you took a SS, I don't need to be told I've taken a screenshot 1000 times.
