Taking in-game camera photos without them being saved
I struggled to decide where to put this discussion because it's kind of a mix of a mod request and a game feedback/suggestion, so I'll just put this here.
Gameplay-wise, one of the things that annoy me is that whenever the in-game camera (phone, digital camera, DSLR, etc.) is used, a screenshot is automatically saved in the screenshot capture manager. For instance, I like playing with the Freelance Photography career, but a single gig is, like, 20-50 images in the screenshots folder, given that I take many photos for every shot thanks to the game's "quality" mechanic.

- Suggestion: Maxis, please fix this. Add a checkbox option in the Settings that says something like "Automatically save in-game captured photos in the Screenshot Manager."
- Mod Request: Is there any existing mod that disables this entirely? If not, can a talented modding somebody please dwell on this mechanic? It would be handy for players like me who do not really care about story-telling and documentation.
