Please describe the patch or change you made. This issue started happening after the newest update. It worked fine just before that.
I no longer seem to be able to take screenshots anymore after launching my game today. After pressing "C", no screenshots are taken but only a blank screen appears where the screenshot itself should be. Checking the Screenshot Manager resulted in the same - no visible pictures. They aren't being saved to my Screenshots folder either.
What I've tried so far:
- repairing the game
- tried to clear the catche but apparently it's empty
- restarting my game and my pc multiple times
- checking if the Screenshots folder is in the right location (Electronic Arts, Sims 4 folder) - it is
- starting a new game, no luck
This problem seems to have started after yesterday's update. I don't know why it's happening but it's quite a bummer as I love taking screenshots...
Also, I added pictures of the issue so it might be easier to see (at least print screen still works).
