What happened to screen shots?

Since the most recent  update I have lost the ability to screen shot. In build mode I have always pressed C and the pics arrive in documents/EA games/sims4/screenshots. Now when i press c i have a notification which says "view pic in screenshot manager, which is in camera settings" As i am in build mode i cannot access camera settings and the pics do not now go to screenshots. Where are my pics so that i can upload them?

    moved to the bug forum but is this only happening when you haven't chosen a family and go too build mode from map view or also if you go to build mode from your family ?

    @kdaisyduke1 That message comes up in my game also, but my screen shots are still going to the correct directory.  Try this: open the options menu (button with 3 dots in upper right corner), click on Game Options, then Screen Capture.  Under Memory/Picture Capture, double-check the Location field - this is where your screen shots should be saved.  You can also uncheck the Show Dialog After Capture button, so that you don't have the little pop up message anymore.  If the location is what it should be, go to your file system (outside of the game), and take a careful look at what's in there.  I'm on a Windows system, and the way it sorts files is not always intuitive.  The newest screen shots may not be at the bottom (or top), where you'd expect them, but somewhere in the middle.
