Why'd he change his mind?

Yeah, why?
That totally sucks.
Wasn't he aware that it was an Xbox and not an Xbox 360. You probably made that clear, but people misunderstand sometimes.

The way I do it is this:
Open a program such as Paint
Open TheSims2
Play!
Take a Picture by hitting Print Screen (Prt Scr) - loaced over the insert/home/page up buttons
Minumise your game
Press CTRL+V to paste the picture in paint
Crop the image by selecting an area of a suitable size (by using the dotted square tool in the upper right toolbox corner)
You can than CTRL +C to copy that section only
Now, from here you can either hit CTRL + Z to erace the original printed image and replace it with the new copied cropped image, or open a new Paint Window, and paste the image into it (easier and a bit less confusing this way, too).
Then, save to a folder (I make a folder specifically for my stories) that you'll remember where it is. I save my pictures by numbering them - 001, 002, 003, etc., etc.
Then just upload them onto Photobucket or some other image sharing site, and voila. The rest from there is pretty simple :3 I know it sounds confusing, but it's not so bad. Just takes some getting used to :3

Is that why your quality is so awesome?
Re: Don't leave your legacies ;) - Majick - 29-03-2009 06:27 AM
Most likely. Because I don't use the "C" key to take pictures, I'm able to get them larger too, and can easily resize them smaller by using the "stretch/skew" option under "Image" when I put the picture into Paint.
Plus, my computer can handle the graphics up on higher settings, too :3
