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. ;)

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.
