The upside down map is a bug introduced in the last patch that EA are aware of. It is not responsible for your game freezing when you’re trying to place a lot though. That is most likely down to incompatible CC or corrupted files. Please move your entire Mods folder to your desktop, repair your game then try again. If the issue persists please start a new thread as this one is specifically to do with the screenshots bug.

Re: Screenshots upside down and back to front since August patch

★★★★★ Newbie

Does anyone know if this was ever fixed? It's been about 3 months and I am still having the same issue, unfortunately. Even if I flip the photo in preview, the photo appears complete black in-game so it defeats the point of this work around. It truly discourages me from playing when the game isn't working right. This is only happening to MAC users, if this hasn't been fixed after 3 months I see how MAC users are on EA's priority list. Please fix this bug, I am hoping that if this hasn't been fixed that it will be fixed with the upcoming Famous EP. Has anyone heard of any updates with this bug fix?

@Livanmylife

This issue appeared after the last PC/Mac patch for the Sims 4 which was in August. No subsequent patches have been released.

It only stops you from sharing your pictures via social media through the game. You can still upload the edited pictures from your screenshots folder to wherever you like.

Thank you for the reply. I understand what the issue is, but I don't even share my pictures via social media so this is not where my frustration is. Honestly, it is the fact that it's been almost 3 months since the patch and this issue is still ongoing. I like using the photos for a completely different reason with my own personal gameplay, as we all have our own ways the sims entertains us. Because I am a life-long fan of the Sims since 2000, I am going to assume they're most likely hard at work with the new release, so I will just leave it at that and hopefully this small but important bug is fixed soon with a new patch or the next EP. 

 

Thank you.
