It&#8217;s really quite simple. Just follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Get your camera into position. For a small room, such as a bathroom, get your camera into the room as best you can and continue with the following<\/li>\n<li>Press the &#8216;R&#8217; key on your keyboard to get rid of the grid if you are in build or buy mode (Sims 2)<\/li>\n<li>Press the &#8216;TAB&#8217; key to get into camera mode. You can move the camera view simply by moving your mouse<\/li>\n<li>You can use the &#8216;Z&#8217; and &#8216;X&#8217; keys to zoom in and out with the camera<\/li>\n<li>Once you have the angle you want, press the <a href=\"https:\/\/imageshack.us\/photo\/my-images\/19\/keyboardx.jpg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">print screen key<\/a> on your keyboard. You can press &#8216;C&#8217; to take a screenshot straight into your Sims 2 screenshots folder, but using the print screen key will enable you to take bigger, better screenshots which you can edit with any image editor.<\/li>\n<li>You can press the &#8216;TAB&#8217; key again to get back to normal mode.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fraps.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fraps<\/a>, any time you press the print screen key, the images will automatically save into the &#8216;C:FrapsScreenshots&#8217; folder on your Windows PC. They are usually a good size, but make sure Fraps is configured to save the files as &#8216;jpg&#8217; otherwise they may be too large to upload here<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.simfansuk.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/formidable\/118\/LadyAngel\/Snap_2015_08_31_07h09m04s_001_nib_CCapture_ae30d-1.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"613\" data-lbwps-height=\"381\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.simfansuk.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/formidable\/118\/LadyAngel\/Snap_2015_08_31_07h09m04s_001_nib_CCapture_ae30d-1-400x249.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simfansuk.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/formidable\/118\/LadyAngel\/Snap_2015_08_31_07h09m04s_001_nib_CCapture_ae30d-1-150x150.jpg\" style=\"padding:3px;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/simfansuk.com\/wp\/images\/s2\/base.gif\" title=\"Sims 2 base game only required\" alt=\"Sims 2 base game only required\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n<p>You must be a logged in member to download this file<br \/>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I often get asked about screenshots and how to take good ones.
