Siminsane Sanitarium

[Tina ☺]

Thanks Jill! I'm glad you enjoyed it! ;D I'm also very happy that no one seems to mind the little 'back stories' I've given the simselves so far. I mean... there has to be SOME reason they wound up in a nuthouse!

Just wait until you see who Amylu meets next!

You know, I've still got my asylum backed up somewhere

Tina, your spoiler has got me wanting to see another update very soon! What's my simself going to get up to next?

Loved this, and commented at LJ, it was such fun and really made me giggle, I really enjoyed reading about us all and seeing the hilarity.

[jillyson]

Amy's right, now we want you to hurry with the next update! Lol!

[Tina ☺]

Well, the pics are all done for days 4-6! I'm taking a break to play some more, though, before I start writing it. It won't be TOO long!

I actually did get to read this last night, but it was so late I didn' comment.
It was a truly giggle worthy chapter and I had to be really quiet cause it was so late!

I LOVE Jo's jammies. I am guessing it's her neat points that make the lack of hygiene okay with her.
I told you my Simself talks about kissing!
Great update! I can't wait to see if the no fire streak continues.

[Tina ☺]

Thanks Holley, I'm glad you enjoyed it! ;D

Tina I did some Googling and found this one free batch processor.
mihov-image-resizer.software.informer.com/1.0/
It did work on 6 screenshots I took with FRAPS. It kept the BTMP and made a copy as a JPG.
Can that annoying FRAPS counter be turned off?

Thought you could take a look at that batch processing program and see what you think.

Adding: I really don't know if it works or not. The first picture in the FRAPS folder when I hover over it says Type Bitmap Image, the copy when I hover says JPEG, but underneath it, it still says bmp. It does say it's only 125kb compaied to the first image at 2.25 mb. Yet the dimentions are the same on both.
I'm uploading to ph to take a look.

[Tina ☺]

Thanks Jo! I'll have a look at that link in a bit. That counter is a frame-rate counter that comes FRAPS. What you need to do is open your options and look for a section that has a box with tick boxes at all four corners. Pick the spot you'd rather have the counter displayed. I chose the bottom right corner because it's out of my way and not annoying down there the way it is at the top left.

[joandsarah]

No worries, I'm always serching for free ways to get better pictures. ;D
Did you see my edit, does it make sense?


JPEG


this one says bmp.JPG

They don't look any different here Or aren’t they suppose to? Maybe ph does something to it to keep to size.

[Tina ☺]

The dimensions don't change, which is a good thing actually. It's the file size that counts, so that seems right to me. Now you really need to go download that hack that gets rid of the pause lines for TS2.

BTW, you don't need to use FRAPS to take pics in TS3 because the resolution is better to start with. I'm not going to use it for TS3 pictures. I got FRAPS to help with the TS2 because they are low resolution screen shots.

[joandsarah]

Now I won't have any excuse not to start on this chapter.

Once I get that hack installed I will do a couple of small Slide Share uploads and see how much difference I can see. I guess I just have to watch out for those queue icons.

[Tina ☺]

Stupid board isn't loading right and isn't showing my reply links, etc! It's tough when you have to 'feel around' blindly to find it!

I wouldn't worry too much about some of the que icons. They're not that distracting and sometimes they're unavoidable because sims are almost always doing something...lol. It's those popup boxes that are big and annoying at times, however, I think it's good to show those sometimes too...lol

You will DEFINITELY see a difference in how TS2 pics look in slide share!

I've actually found with this asylum challenge that the que icons of what my controllable sim was doing the time is helping me to remember what was happening in the picture, so it aids me in writing it.

I could edit them all out, but for some, it's not worth the hassle.

[joandsarah]

That surprises me I thought for sure you would be photoshoping those all out. Of course it's rather a 'relaxed' challenge to write up.
You even had a wall partly down on one of them.

[Crissy]

Haha great chapter mom! I love Jo's pumpkin hat and it was so funny looking at her break it down doing the "pumpkin dance." Jill's hair was hilarious with that outfit bahaha And I'm glad I didn't have another accident though my sane self would never use a disgusting toilet like that no matter how bad I had to go!
