The latest update for The Sims 4 seems to have affected the outcome of the screenshots we take in the game. They’re now much more blurred and don’t provide so much details to things like skin details and the overall background.
I’ve taken a screenshot using The Sims 4’s screenshot tool and taken another screen using Windows 10’s Windows Key + Print Screen Key feature to take screenshots. The difference that you can see down below are drastic:


It’s unclear what’s causing this issue other than the fact that it surfaced with the latest update for The Sims 4. Multiple folks in the community have complaining about this issue meaning that it’s caused by nothing else but the latest update.
We’re hoping that The Sims Team will resolve the screenshot issue very soon considering that plenty of simmers depend on it.

This makes me fairly sad, as I love collecting screenshots.
Then, report it.
The Sims Team won’t know, if you don’t report it.
I personally like blurry effect, because it is focus, and when you take focus on camera, the photo looks much better (: its my opinion, but I like blurry effect
