Does anyone know how to make screenshots bigger? Like 600 x 600 big. I can't figure out how to do it without making the picture all wierd.

vampiresstrinity,

I usually just press CTRL+prt scr of the snapshot, then paste the copy into my paint shop.

The paint shop I use has a pull down tab labeled "picture", then resize, then custom.

I use custom to make my pic whatever pixel size I want, then save.

This may be different for other paint shops. But, you might give it a try.

Mine come out in the sims 600 wide x 400 high (usually thats plenty big enough) if i need them any bigger (mostly tend to make them smaller)I make them larger in "paint shop pro" and make sure my ratio to height is set so they dont distort too much (so when you resize it automatically sets the right size of either height or length depending on which number you put in first), but if you want them specifically 600 x 600 they are going to distort some what no matter how hard you try not too, I have been playing with paint shop pro for years and i have to crop (Cut square) a picture to be almost exact if i want a certain upsize to look perfect, is why i use the height ratio set so it doesnt distort, and no messing around or guessing!! If thats too technical im sorry dont know any other way to explain it..but hope it helps

Hee hee hee Okay I take a prt screen also for my pics There is a section to help you in ss2 help. If you print screen then in your paint program "edit: paste as new pic" you usually get a good picture. The limit on Sapphire is usuall 800 by 600 or 150kb which ever hits first. If you need more help please let me know I will be happy to help you!!! There is also a difference between screen shot and snapshot. I think the snapshots are okay but the screen shots are just thumbnails. ( I might have that backwards been awhile since I used them from the game!)

Thanks but I don't know what paint shop or anything like that is. When I have to edit picutes I just right-click them and hint edit. The only thing is it's messes up the picture when I enlarge it. Oh and I also don't have a printer so the print screen button doesn't work for me.

The way I do screenshots would confuse you even more lol...
I use FRAPS to take my pics,
then fiddle with it with gimp (graphics program)
then finish it up & jpeg it in my microsoft paint program...
i do get bigger pics to work with this way & then can just size them down!
