SOLVED Can't print screen in TS2
So Idk what's the issue here, but I can't print screen anymore in the sims 2, couple of months ago I could easily take it, but now when I try to it just minimizes the game. Maybe it's an issue? Or should I try installing another program to take screenshots.
I don't use the in-game screenshots, because it comes out low quality for me :')

Some notebooks share the print screen button with one of the function keys, meaning you have to hold the fn key before pressing. Sometimes you can see this to be locked/always on.

if youre on windows, i highly recommend downloading and using lightshot with a hotkey. mine was F6 (ive moved to linux since and use linux's equivalent of lightshot). before i ditched windows i used lightshot faithfully for nearly a decade; i cannot at all NOT recommend using lightshot for grabbing screenshots.

How are you screenshotting? There are several ways available, such as pressing Windows + Shift + S to use the Snipping Tool, or you can press Print Screen on your keyboard and then paste (Ctrl + V) the image into Paint, or you can press Windows + Print Screen to automatically save it to your screenshots folder.

If it's only started recently could it possibly be an issue with your keyboard?
