How do you organize your screenshots?

I play rotationally, and I love to take pictures of my sims, so I have tons of various photos. Right now I have all of my photos in one folder, but it is getting tedious to go through it each time I want to find a specific screenshot, so I really want to put them in separate folders, but I don't know what could be the best way to organize them. By worlds? households? I think the households makes probably the most sense.

I am open to your ideas and tips :)

Thank you <3

  • I started organising mine by household earlier this year but I keep forgetting to go into the folder so it's a mess again :D
  • I never thought about organizing my screenshots but I might stare to do it, so I can make my game a bit lighter
  • I still have them in my original screenshots folder, since I loved to watch them through the game's "photo album" and write texts to them. It worked fine for a long time, pictures were shown in chronological order. But then something changed (maybe game's way of naming them or something?) and they started to be shown in random order and I'm really mad about it. I even manually sorted the pictures in the screenshot folder to be in right order by time they were taken but they still show up differently in game :(. If anyone have tips how to rearrange the pictures in game's own photoalbum, I'm open for them :D

    I haven't noticed screenshots being in their original folder affecting the game, but maybe I should try moving them out and test if I see any difference.


  • At the end of each year, I cut-and-paste what's in the screenshots folder into a new folder in Pictures, with each year having its own folder. Fortunately, TS4 names the screenshots by date taken rather than by number like in TS3.
  • I haven't organized them at all. I wanted to make folders for different saves and I started it few months ago but I haven't had the time to continue and it's a huge mess. To be honest, I'd rather play the game when I have free time.
    I have way too much screenshots of Sims on my laptop and recently I've been thinking of just deleting all of them. I never look at them anyway, so why keep them. Maybe I'll only keep some of my favorites.
  • This is how my organization looks.

    I love saving all my screenshots and keeping them organized. Sometimes I will go back looking for specific moment in my game and I see so many memories with my sims.
