Image quality, Super Duper Hugs, and writing.

[strangetomato]

Has anyone else noticed their images degrading in quality when they upload them to scrapbook now? For example, the image below seems like it gets sharpened considerably when I upload it, and you can see those lines in the background much more and the hair seems redder (it was taken with the in-game camera). I'm just curious to see if anyone else is experiencing this.

Ron Story, who lives in the House of Fallen Trees in Downtown Elsewhere, is now a teen. And cute. ^_^

I've also noticed I have the menu option for "DEBUG - Super Duper Hug" in the game when I play it right now. I'm reading this thread and see that it is/was hack related. I haven't added back many hacks yet (just MATY stuff and the no red lines mod as of last playing), so I'm assuming this happened when I removed a hack? Anyway, I'm following the advice linked above and I hope that fixes it.

I've also been thinking of setting a bit of a sim story writing goal for myself in the spirit of NaNoWriMo. I don't think I'll declare it publicly, since life can be hectic and my simming time follows my other priorities (in order of parenting, sleep, eating/washing myself, laundry, and maybe cleaning the house) but I have something in mind. We'll see how it goes. ;)

The in game camera is just awful in general, but I'm far too lazy to ever screencap again, so alas.

I'm like the only person alive still using photobucket, huh?

Yes, the fact that this is the in-game camera isn't helping the quality here at all, but I'm convinced it's wasn't usually quite this bad. If it was, I'm a little amazed we were okay with it for storytelling. It was a different time, though. "Back in my day..." LOL!

No, others still do. Meetme2theriver does, and there are others I can't think of offhand. If I didn't have Semagic, I'd likely be going back to it, too. The lj scrapbook is crap if you have to upload manually.
