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. ;)

Okay, well that's good to know. Maybe it's just me, but I'm convinced they look different when I'm viewing them in my browser instead of, say, in Photoshop or the Windows image viewer. It's not the first time I've noticed it. Weird.

I added in that hack mentioned in the thread above and it seems that the mere presence of that hack when you load the game seems to nuke the Super Duper Hug. It worked for me. And I'm pretty sure it was caused by starting to play without having ACR installed again. It wasn't very careful of me to do that. haha! I'll probably be going back to my backup on that hood again, just to be sure. I'm mostly just play testing with it now, seeing which cc and hacks I still need and such.

Thanks for the input on the image thing. :) I really appreciate it. I hope I figure out what's wrong on my end soon.
