I am having trouble creating the screen shot with print screen. I just end up with a blank white image. If I use my video card's screen capture to record a couple seconds of video of the menu, will that work, or can someone tell me if there is a trick to using print screen to print from Sims 4 on Windows 8. I have tried alt+ print screen and the windows button and print screen. The file created by the latter was the same blank white screen I got from pasting.
I have found with Windows 8, when I want to take shots of items like the Sims 3 supermaxed skills, I have to set it to 'Windowed' instead of 'full screen'. When I don't do that, I get a black screen with print screen. I do not believe I have that issue with Windows 7.
I know that this is a sims 4 challenge, and what I've said above is sims 3, but it might be the same with that, perhaps. Some issue between Windows 8 and Sims, perhaps?
As dying in this one doesn't seem to result in a DNF
, I'll try 'windowed' if/when I eventually do get to the point of completing this one and take the screen shot. (As Sims 4 is on my Windows 8 laptop only).
