Title: This may be a dumb question but.......
Post by: shaylan221 on July 21, 2009, 12:05:30 PM
Hi everyone, this may be a dumb question, but what is the key to press when taking in game pictures besides the standard maxis way. I want my pictures to not have any toolbars, or menus showing.

Hide all menus and then press Ctrl + Shift + S :)

I use to press the "Print Screen" button on the keyboard when i want to take a picture. Then i press "Ctrl" and "V" when i copy it over to a paint program. Or press "new picture" and then "image from clipboard".

That how you do it? I always wondered!

Another option is using an external program like Wouanagaine' s Clip2Pic - especially since the ingame camera is bugged.

I personally use Irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com) - this way I can take a couple of screenshots without the need of interrupting the game to copy the screenshots to a Paint-Program.
