I used to play Sims in window mode instead of full screen. But after some time I had a bug in the game
and had to reinstall the whole game. Right now I changed back to full screen.
I am wondering what method is better? I mainly need a good way to switch between the game and windows when
I am taking screenshots.
What do you guys use? : O
What would you recommend?

Self i like full screen best

You can use the ALT+TAB in the game to go back to windows,so you have the full screen and windows at your side to edit your ingame pictures at the same time

I personally play Sims 2 on window mode. I like it better.. Also because Fraps is not always working when i want to take pictures.. And when being on full screen.. I can't see if Fraps has taken pictures or not.

Also this way i just can hang around on forums, and if i want to follow a build tutorial it's also easier to do.. :x Instead of writing everything down first on paper, or printing the tut.. :x

I prefer playing sims with the full mode rather than playing sims thanks to the window mode, because the sight is better than the window mode especially when you use a large flat screen.
Well I advise you to try the window mode regardless to have your personal opinion about that.

Thanks for all the replies : D I will try the window mode once again and will see how the quality
of the game is, and especially the quality of the pictures if I am taking screenshots.
I know it can be quite stressful because my notebook is 17'' and the screen is has more width than height : (

I always use uhm, right click on your shortcut in your desktop and then uh, -w after "doel" don't know how you call it in English, it might be something like goal.

It will be "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Mansion and Garden Accessories\TSBin\Sims2Launcher.exe" -w Then it will start up in a window.

Haha I am now using the window mode and I guess the details are still very good : O !!
So I will continue using it : ]
Thanks to all of you for helping me out!

Window mode is pretty nice, but I have a screen resolution of 1440x900 and I play Sims on 800x600 because of my graphics card, so then it's a very small screen and then it's not nice any more to play in window mode. =P

What a coincidence I play the Sims 2 on 1440x900 XD My normal screen resolution is 1680x1050.
