On my current laptop, screenshots are sorted into folders by month, and then sub-folders within those month folders (by save file, CAS, extras, or genetics experiments which I conduct very often lol).
These are the folders in my Pictures folder (the folder labelled 'hwat' is for storing images that I've edited in GIMP to be avatars, etc. Reference images is a place to store pictures of sims that I want to draw from different angles so I don't clutter up any of my other folders)

And as an example, here is my June 2020 folder (with sub-folders for my 100 baby screenshots, CAS, extra stuff, genetics experiments (which covers at least 4 separate saves I created solely to have sims make babies in), and my current favourite save named for the first couple I started playing in it):
My screenshots on my external hard-drive are compiled from 3 separate computers, each of which have died horrible deaths, and those aren't organised at all other than chronologically and each folder not exceeding 5,000 screenshots:

'Ultra screenies' is for screenshots taken on a (still alive) 4th computer that I don't play TS4 on anymore (I used it before I got my laptop). I called it 'Ultra screenies' to differentiate from the other computers, all of which could only handle the game on medium or high graphics (before they died) and it was my first time playing on ultra graphics settings.
Ultra screenies is further differentiated by save file (and has even more screenshots that I haven't sorted out yet):
I actually find it really fun to organise my screenshots, and it's cool to see how others here do it too :smiley:
