Feeling like a bit of a chat about creation or just... whatever (not necessarily sims)?
Just installed the Sims 3 patch or about to?
Want to create your own clothes for the Sims 3?

 Saving Pictures on my PC

Hi! When I download objects or houses etc. I like to save pictures of the items so that I know what I've got. When I download houses, I especially like to be able to save pictures of the floor plans as well as the rooms. I do this by right clicking on the picture and saving them to my folder. However, with the set up you have at MTS, I cannot download all the pictures I would like - usually only the first and last of the "series" of pics. I am definitely not the most savy of computer operators, so if there is a way to save all of them, please let me know how to do it. Many thanks in advance, Kate |

Right Click the Image --> Properties If you're using Firefox there should be an Image Properties section. Under Location is the URL to the file. Copy that URL and paste it in your address bar. Following that link should bring you to a new page with that single image on it, allowing you to save the picture as normal.  EDIT - I just tried right clicking ---> save image as, and it works fine for me....so... |

You can also middle-click (or click the mouse wheel) on the thumbnail to open it in a new tab, and then right-click Save As. |

Or right-click > Open in New Tab, and then Save As. |

There's a faster way: in FireFox, I right-click and choose "Save Link As". I know that there's a similar menu in IE, but I can't remember what it is. |

You could also right-click > Open in New Tab, and then drag the picture to where you want it. (Although I can't tell whether that works in Windows) |

It should do. Got enough options yet?

I've got loads of options. Many thanks for your help. I should mention that I can save the thumbnail pics very easily by right clicking. It's the large pics that come through as a series -- you know, where you click "next" and the next pic shows up until all the pics have been shown. THOSE are the ones I want to save (the biggies). The thumbnails are too small to be able to see house floorplans easily. The overview always shows lovely house pics - but floor plans alway show up as thumbnails. It's okay though, a thumbnail is better than nothing and I do very much appreciate your help. Kate |

Right-clicking and saying "save Link as" should save the actual picture (since that's what the link is), not the thumb. Also, all of the options that involve opening the large pic first will let you save the actual (large) pic. |
