Where's the folder for the photos taken in-game?

It's not the usual screenshot folder, are these photos even accessible from outside the game?

  • Hmm, I tried making a photo a Memory but it still doesn't appear anywhere except the Memory panel :(
  • Hey guys, I found the folder! :hushed: The in game taken pictures go to C:\Users\...\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\saves\scratch

    Ah-hah! So that's what that scratch folder is for. Who knew?
  • Okay, I'm guessing this must be a glitch, bug or interference from a mod y'all might have because whenever my Sims take a photo with a camera from buy mode or their cell of another Sim or the worlds, those photos always show up in the screenshots folder in addition to their personal inventory. The only time they don't show up is when you click on 'take a selfie' together in the conversations options. At least for me anyway.

    I agree though, it would be great if we could pick and choose which poses we want the subject to use when taking their photo. It's been my experience photos taken using the photo studio also show up in the screenshots folder. Perhaps I'm not understanding the issue though and you're talking about something else? I don't know... :/
