Hi - I've been having the devil of a time taking screencaptures (not in-game photos) of spaces with two-story, vaulted ceilings. I'm kind of keen on two-story vaulted spaces, so most of my properties have them. I have seen other peoples screencaptures out on the web where they don't have the problem I am having, so I think it's just my lack of knowledge that's the problem.
Two issues:
When I try and screen capture my Sims on the first floor, looking up, anything that is in the vaulted footprint shows open to the sky. I've tried centering in on the Sim and then hitting the up-one-floor button - This adds the second floor, but I also go up one level with it. The instant I try and recenter on my Sim, the game pulls us all back down to floor one and the second floor drops again. Screencapture example:
The second issue is in the opposite direction: When I try and screencapture looking down, from floor two to one, I get the whole room and anything that is placed in the open area, but almost everything that is placed under the floor footprint disappears!
Screencapture example:
In this example, you can see the table and chairs in the open area, but you can't see the rows of bookshelves and other items against the wall on the first floor (under the balcony). This problem also happens when I try and take exterior shots of my houses from a higher floor - Almost every object placed in the house on a floor other than the floor you are currently hovering on disappears behind the windows! Screencapture example:
I would be grateful if someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong in the first instance to fix the first problem. The second issue most likely has to do with whatever limitations my computer's memory or graphic's card may have, but if I'm wrong and you have any insight on how to fix this, please help me!
