Your Most Meaningful Screenshots?
So I don't know about you guys, but if there's one thing I love about playing Sims, it's storytelling. And for me, with storytelling comes the pressure of taking the most meaningful screenshots I can ...
Forum Discussion
What an awesome thread! There are many dedicated to screenshots on here, but I love that this one is particularly focused on emotions and the right setting... Like all of us here, I'm guilty of taking waaay to many screenies when I play and it can get quite time consuming, because I always want to find the best angle and I tend to fiddle with the camera for a long time before I'm finally satisfied :D Here are some of my favorites, some are very old but they're all from the same legacy I've been playing since CL came out.

Just some family fun, but I think this screenshot came out especially nice.. It looks like one of those generic family stock photos and I love it :D Some things our sims do are just so realistic. Like here, everyone is reacting to the match of don't wake the llama in their own way, and the ones who can't play are crowding around the table just watching and having fun with the rest.

I've shared this one on the forum before, but it's my all time favorite. My sim Kaia and her daughter Shakhar, looking each other with so much emotion you start to wonder if it's really just a game and if these little pixel people don't have minds on their own..

This one I guess would just be called a heartbreak... Mariah here wasn't too pleased with herself. It was her who introduced Mylo, her new friend, to Leo, her crush of many many years. She was stuck with watching the lovebirds with an aching heart.

First time Mylo babysat her little sister Shiadhal. I think her facial expression says about everything about her childcare skills :p

This one looks like poseplayer was used on it, but I didn't stage that scene at all. My game did something weird and I caught the two sims right before they merged into one, but it fit the story so well I just stared at the shot open mouthed for a while. This happened right after Eric drunkenly tried to flirt with Amy, seconds before her boyfriend appeared out of nowhere and decided to yell at him. Funny though, because later Amy happened to be the mom of Eric's first child. Anyway, I'm still surprised at how realistic it looks!

Ah yes... Eric's child with Amy. A beautiful little accident that kind of ruined his life. Tere he was, back at his parents' house, sharing a bedroom with the newborn Amy dropped off on his doorstep before she moved to another country. As you can see he was clearly dead worried about the future that has become one big question mark for him, after he couldn't get any sleep at night. It's a heartbreaking shot but I'm proud of myself for pausing at just the right moment!

A more lighthearted moment of family having ramen together. Love this one because it looks like Akira is trying to teach his granddaughter how to use chopsticks and she's absolutely terrified of the idea :D

And to end off, one day I took Akira and Adelyn to the Romance Festival as a way to celebrate their marriage anniversary, knowing they don't have much time left. I was getting a little emotional about how beautiful and strong their relationship was and then I noticed them autonomously cuddling on the bench, as if they were sharing the very same exact thoughts that moment <3
