    Eh. I don't necessarily "like" the notification, but I'm not really longing for an option to turn it off either.

    I've been looking for a way to turn them off since the launch of Sims 4. I mean, you normally know when you take a picture and it's not that difficult to find them on you computer anyway.

    Yes please. I would like to turn off so many of the notifications without having to use mods for it.

    LOL reminds me of Zelda like hearing this whenever a notification comes.

    I much prefer the visual alert whenever something like the burglar happened instead with the mini camera. Then again those notifications were funnier too and could easily be closed instead of building up a long wall.:

    It's more like Clippit (aka Clippy), the annoying Windows Assistant.

    I've always thought it to be a crazy idea from the start, so yes, please, it needs to be 'terminated' without prejudice...

    Yes, after six years I think people know if they took a screenshot. If they can hide this for wishes then notifications need an overhaul.

    I wouldn't mind the option, but I'd rather they focus on MUCH more important things than this.

    It should have been an option from the beginning, the notification is useless. I use reshade instead.

    In the game options menu, there's a check box that says "Show dialog after capture". There's also a checkbox on the popup box itself, that says "don't show this dialog again.". So, we can already shut that off.

    Are you talking about the notification that pops up on the upper right? Where notifications already pop up for everything your Sim does anyway? If that's the case, then what you want is notifications in general to be toggled off, not specifically just screenshots.

    I would be all for a notifications toggle.

    No, that toggles the window that allows you share the screenshot to social media.

    I know. This post specifically mentioned screenshot notifications, so I wondered if maybe they'd missed that, because it's specific to screenshots.

    The small green notification box isn't something that's tied just to screenshots per se. It's part of the whole notification system. Every time you do something, a notification pops up. So, to get rid of it, you'd want a toggle for all notifications.

    The screenshot notification should be separate from all notifications because it is related to something the player does deliberately. It is the same reason we don't get a notification every time we do other things in the game that the player does deliberately.

    I actually liked Clippit. B) Much less annoying than websites that have pop ups especially those websites that illegally override the pop up blockers with annoying videos.

    I don't like notifications, they're anointing.

    Maybe they can take a page from Windows 10 and let players set what type of notifications they want to get and turn off all others.
