Memory screen shots going to EA laucher instead of scrapbook

[beardeux]

hi,  I have always been able to take my own shots using 'C' for camera as a screenshot and they went to the memories in the scrapbook.  I hit the tab key and get a nice full screen picture.  A feature I've really enjoyed.  Suddenly over the last couple weeks, any photo I take is going directly to the EA game launcher for upload.  I've gone through the options and can't find anything that looks appropriate.  Have I toggled something or am I having a brain cramp and have forgotten how to take pictures for the scrapbook.  Can anyone help me sort this out?

This doesn't apply to my sims camera when he takes photos.  That seems to be fine.

Hi Bear.

When you take a screen shot while in the game using the C key or the camera icon found on the user interface, the images go into the Screenshots folder of the game.  On a PC, it's located here:  C:/Documents/Electronic Arts/Sims 3/Screenshots.  I haven't messed with memories (I ignore all of them), but I didn't think that these screen shots would go there.  Pressing the C key should always put them in the same spot that I mentioned.

Using the C button has always referred to taking a screenshot of the game in The Sims.   To take a memory photo you have to use the little pink camera in the center of the UI.

I found it.  Perhaps I did use it before.  I completely don't remember that little thing.  As I said, brain cramp.  Thanks.  I was missing my memories.  I keep precious few of the game ones, but I do enjoy some of my own.  All composed and close up with my own captions.

What does UI stand for?

User Interface. It's the blue menu at the bottom of the screen.

thanks.  Couldn't put than one together.
