sims 4 screenshots

Hello, does anybody know if it is possible to view screenshot captions made in Sims 4 outside of the game somehow? Thanks

  • @saldukele, thanks for the clarification! 😇  Unfortunately, mine never have the captions either! 😞🤔  I'll have to see what I can find on that, but I never saw anybody's pictures with captions either. 🤨  I'll get back to you, either with good or bad news. 🤞

    Update: I checked with someone else, and they said that the captions are only visible in the screenshot manager, and can't be viewed outside of the game.☹️  But at least you and I weren't doing anything the wrong way! 😃  My suggestion is to view the screen shot in the manager, and either remember or write down the caption -- then export your picture and if it is possible, then type the caption that you had originally with that picture. 😉

    Hopefully this will be a good alternative! 🙂

  • @saldukele, do you mean the screen shots you take with the game camera (by either pressing "C" or the camera icon), or do you mean the shots you take with the "PrtSc" print screen button that you can use with the game or outside of it? 🤔

    Edit to add that using the "C" button in your game will take a picture of your screen but with out the control display or thought bubbles.  The other way will include the control display and thought bubbles. I know how to do the first way here, but not the second way:

    Hi @PugLove888 sorry I was probably not clear, I mean the screenshots you take in game with camera icon or "C" button and then view them in game in "Screenshot capture Manager" where you can add the caption at the bottom of each picture. I would like to export these screenshots with the caption. I know you can access the screenshots in your save game folder, but these don't have captions.

    Thanks a lot for your reply, at least now I know there is no easy way to do this, will have to be the hard way unfortunately :D Will have to start taking screenshots instead then. thanks
