how to get rid of the ui in create a sim
Hello! So I have a shader with Reshade and I would love to take screenshots with it, but I don't know how to get rid of the UI in CAS. If I use 'C' it doesn't include the shader, but if I press 'prts...

It doesn't help me at all actually. I don't know how to make this any clearer, and I don't intend to be mean. I can just screenshot it with PrintScreen, yes, but I want to be able to USE PrintScreen to get a nice screen shot with none of the arrows, aspirations, other sims, etc. Not even the randomize buttons. I could use C, yes, but it does not show the shader. The shader is the main part because it just makes the game look nicer. I plan to use these screenshots as images for characters in a story I plan to write.

Sorry if I'm not understanding this correctly, but it sounds like you need the UI to be showing in order to get the 'Shader' background/detail that you need for the screenshot, but you don't want to have the UI images in your final screenshot?
Not sure if this will address what you're looking for, but if I checked the following boxes in the 'Screen Capture' settings in you Main Menu > Game Options > Screen Capture then the UI will be included when creating a screenshot by pressing "c":
I then found that if I entered CAS with the sim who already had all of the settings I want saved and in place, and I don't click on her so that the additional UI images populate, I can take a screenshot at a distance like this one (or zoom in without clicking her and still not have the additional Ui images - as in teh 2nd image).
Then if I crop this image I am able to come up with this:
Edit:
I was just discussing this with another helper and it appears there may be some specialized methods for taking your screenshots in a manner that will still include the ReShade effects. I cannot include links to some types of websites here on the forum, so it would be best if you were to go to the ReShade website and see what their recommendations are. There also seem to be some tutorials that come up if you type in "Is there a way to get screenshots in CAS that still include the Reshade background".
Thank you @MapleSimmer.
- @SheriGR How do you zoom in?
@T13IGBIRD01 When preparing to take a screenshot you can chose only a particular section of the screen (which will make it 'zoomed in' to that area in the final image). There are details about that in my previous comments on this thread and and on this page (which also has additional information about taking screenshots).
If you're asking about how to zoom in in-game, in CAS and in live or build mode, you can zoom in using the scroll button/function on your mouse.
