Would you like to enter our future Better Homesteads and Gardens layout contests?

At a loss as to how to do so?

We are here to help!

No need to download anything, You should have everything that you need right at your fingertips!

The simplest way is 4 easy steps.

1 Have your game loaded and open to full screen.

You can zoom out to get as much as possible, or zoom in on a certain favorite area.

2 Press CTRL + PRTSCR (this button should be beside F12 on a regular keyboard)

This will save the image to your clipboard.

For a Laptop… The PRTSC button is the same as PRTSCR, and is probably a secondary key. You may have to press the FN key(Function) to make it work

If this does not work for your laptop… we suggest you Google How To Take a Screenshot on a (insert Laptop Make and model). There are too many to prepare detailed instructions for every one!

3 Open your Paint program.

This can be done by going to your Start Menu and using the file search

Type in Paint or choose it from the menu if you have recently used it

4 In the Paint program just click on the clipboard in the upper left to paste your image into a file, OR Press CTRL + V to paste.

Save your file and name it. VIOLA! You have just taken your first screen shot!

Do you want to delete the outside edges with the game bars and icons?

This is easy to do as well!

While still inside Paint, Use the crop tool.

1 Select the rectangle and start in the uppermost Right hand corner, below the Game Status bar. Drag the rectangle to include the main part of the picture, leaving out your game status bar at the top, Neighbor bar at the bottom, and mission icons on the left and right sides of the screen.

2 Go back to the cropping tool section and choose Crop

Use the “Save As” option to save your cropped image with a different name and keep the original intact to use again.
