[Mod] "Immortalize Moments" - shareable Screenshot system saving mood, place, action & Sim names in addition to in-game captures (Patreon)

While I was sick and Law & Disorder still cooking its tests, this came out as a little Beta for higher tiers.There was no particular feedback, so it is moving on to release.

REQUIRES TOOLBOX V1.172 (updated for this)

This is a feature that I wanted to add to “Memory Panel” WAYYY back in the days.Its purpose is to save screenshots and their custom text together to view and share OUTSIDE of the game, with added some data about the moment it was taken (sim's mood, current lot, and such).

But back then, I couldn’t figure it out because I couldn’t find how to trigger a screenshot via a mod. Then some years later, GusPuffy showed up with a way to do that and shared how to.

Thanks to this wonderful fact, I’m now able to make this feature. Thanks GusPuffy!!!

"Why EXACTLY now though"? Because I’m sick and Law&Disorder is waiting for its next test session and the PlumbBuddy team are coming up with some exciting stuff for script modders, including a feature called UiBridge. And I would like to make an optional integration of this new “Immortalize Moment” mod with these new features to offer a glow-up of an add-on for this mod for people who do use PlumbBuddy. Note that I haven’t made said optional integrated add on yet. For now you get the default experience wether you use PlumbBuddy or not :)

Ok so how does it work?

Use interaction "Immortalize moment".

IF you want the Sim to be listed as with someone else, click from active Sim to the other Sim and trigger the interaction.

IF you don't want anyone else's name listed, click from active sim to active sim.

screenshot is made, fill in the text as you wish

voilà! your screenshot is saved as usual AND also as a html file from this mod.

if you delete the html file, it won't delete the game screenshot, and vice versa. They are independent.

At the bottom of the page, there is a "Save a PNG Copy" button. This lets you download a slightly less cute copy of this html but in png (image) format, for those who prefer that to html files.

There are some Mod settings:

I added for convenience the "Auto Open after Saving Screenshot", but it's off by default because it makes a file open. I'm only telling your computer to open the screenshot file, but still, for transparency and safety it is a setting and off by default.

I've some further additions and improvements in mind, but right now it's Law & Disorder time so, not in the work yet.

Requires having the game setting 'Capture UI' turned OFF for screenshots. See image below.
