If you are using windows (I can't help with Mac) take your Sim into CAS. Get them where you want them and then hit print screen. Then open up whatever graphics program you use. You can even use the paint program that comes with windows. You then click on edit, then paste as new image. Your screen shot should be there to edit or crop.

You only get a black screen. Nothing and Nothing less.

I don't know what else you could do. That's all I do.

While in CAS, press the C key and it will save the screenshot in the Sims 3 folder with all the others taken in-game.  You can then find it on your computer at Documents/Electronic Arts/Sims 3/Screenshots (I think).
