Ahh, this contest is awesome! But it sucks so bad that I'm on vacation, I won't be coming back until a week and a few days, I so hope I can participate in this contest and submit a picture when I get back, but otherwise, all these pictures are super cute!

@STS3388 your picture is too small, and is mentioned to be indoors during summer, so both wrong season AND way too small! Please change it, in the next 2 days or I cannot enter it into the contest.

@k.ahearn11 Your image doesn't meet the minimum size requirement of 960 by 720 and you need to pick just one picture.

To anyone having issues with picture size on Sims 2, you can't use the in-game camera, you need to use a screenshot program or your print screen key on your keyboard.

Fraps is a free screenshot program http://www.fraps.com/ (it may or may not work if you are on win 10, but there are other free screenshot capture programs) If you do use Fraps or some other program that gives you pictures with a BMP file extension you will need to change that to jpg. FastStone is free and fast. http://faststone.org/

Hi, for some reason my game does not take up the whole of my screen when I play, so even if I printscreen that is the largest the picture can get. If I was to stretch the photo, it would just become super blurry and bad...
What can I do? Or am I just unable to participate in the contest?
Thanks...

@TheSweetToddler I hope you have a nice vacation, I would be looking forward to your pictures. I should have my new charger to my i5 laptop by then so I could start submitting pictures for this contest.

@k.ahearn11 Are you playing in Window mode? Right click on your game loading shortcut and check properties. If it ends in -W it's in window mode. Also make sure you have on the 4 GB patch and have the graphics rules done. The help board is best to post to if you need more help, but check out the stickies in there.

I play Ultimate Collection through Origin... if that means anything??

Edit: Also, do I want my game to be in window mode or not?

Thank you, I am enjoying being here on vacation, but I sometimes am eager to come back lol, but well, I'll need to make the most of it while I'm here. And that's great you're getting a new charger

@k.ahearn11 I believe you do need to be in windowed mode. In case it helps, this is the guide that saved me when I was having trouble taking big enough screenshots.

Yeah the sooner I get it the sooner that I don't have to deal with this cheap and overheating thing. I would finally be able to play Sims 2 and 3 at the highest performance without the compensation of speed.

@kadience your picture is a wee bit small (920 by 720) just make it a bit bigger I changed the rules to compensate because 1000 by 750 is a weird size, to 960 by 720 but I really don't want to make it any smaller

Also for those entering, it's best to leave the small attached photo as Phantomknight did above because when you click on that it will bring up a larger picture than what shows in the body of the post.

Ah man, that's what I get for trying to multitask. lol. And I think I saved over the original screenshot, so I'll have to go back ingame and retake it. >< I will have that replaced shortly.
ETA: Okay, not exactly the same, since I don't use poses. But redone. Not sure how I managed last time to crop to 920 instead, I'll blame my son, but it's at 960 this time. xD

The deadline for autumn pics is October, 8, right?
Can I join second round if I didn't participate in first?
Can I submit picture which took part in other MTS contest if there is a toddler?

@N_Fluen$e if you need it, I will extend it to morning of October 9 (only because I posted at a really weird time) but I really can't schedule it past then, because my judges work etc. As for a picture for another contest, as long as it is YOUR picture, and it fits the requirements, yes you may.

Fall entry (TS2)

~Twins Avery and Ellie, with their little brother Jamie, finding wonders in the most ordinary things~


I attached a slightly smaller picture under. I've occasionally had troubles with the image host, so it's just a backup, really. My laptop possibly overheated in the middle of the photoshoot (probably didn't like having the game and PS open at the same time - that thing is getting old), but it was just a blip in the system, so hopefully I'll be able to do the pics for the rest of the contest. Just need to go on a downloading spree first...

@simmer22 It's actually better to leave the small attached picture because when clicked on it normally comes up larger than the main picture, which is helpful for the judges. Super cute by the way. I'm wondering where you got your pumpkins from? I had a difficult time finding enough and ended up growing two varieties just for my picture!

I think those are the ones from here. No picture in the post, but I found them via Lesyasun's WCIF answer at Tumblr, and thought they looked nice (plus there's plenty of other autumn-themed goodies for those of you who may struggle finding CC for the pics).
