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. ;)

Dolphin's "control this sim" mod fixed the super duper hug problem for me. I installed it for the sole purpose of fixing the problem, then ended up loving the mod! It's very useful. I highly recommend it. :)

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?

I just checked with my scrapbook uploading two different images (one directly from ingame, one with fraps edited) and then compered them with the originals, but both look exactly the same for me. (even comparing them in layers with PS). Is this happening all the time or just now? Maybe was temporal or just a glitch of a moment?

As for the hug glitch, hope you can fix it. It's very annoying, but yes, it can happen by taking out some mods. (For what I understand it's with some social mods. It happened in my game after trying out a kiss-in-cheek mod once)

I haven't noticed a difference in quality (though I detest the changes that LJ made to scrapbook and wouldn't put it past them to ruin it more *grumblegrumble*) Since the in-game camera doesn't take them at 100% quality, maybe that would make them more susceptible to degradation upon upload? Have you tried it with a screencap using another program?

*snicker* I like the "maybe cleaning the house" part. That's always last on my list, too!
