I'm looking for....

Thing 1: A better screen shot program.

I'm running windows 7. I am currently using Fraps, but I think it contributes to my game crashing. I just want something really light weight. All it needs to let me do is pick my screen cap key and the destination for the file. Any suggestions?

Thing 2: A very small neighborhood terrain or empty hood.

Roads fairly close together and not too many of 'em. Preferably with space for a beach lot or two. I'm not 100% happy with what I'm using and can't quite bear to install SC2 just for this.

I also vote for Gadwin, I do play windowed mode, though. But I love that it will save the photo to whatever folder I tell it to and I have it automatically name the photo and number them as I take them. I use the "rectangular area" capture setting, so I can crop out anything I don't want in the photo right as I take it.

I've been using it for Simming for many years, never had one problem with it.

Also, try these two tips I found to keep your game from crashing. Mine VERY content heavy game has not crashed once since I did these:

I've been playing the same hood since 2007, so yeah, the crashing was intolerable. But no more crashing!!

Oooh interesting. Its yet another push in favor of doing my bi annual computer reformat and upgrading to 64 bit . Before I make that leap, I'm gonna try the other thing. Thanks for the link.
