Recording closes active screen, skills constantly being "learned"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lexT_QxB9g I have a recording of these happening. It doesn't quit the game but it minimizes the active screen and I have to keep re-opening it. And every time a sim does a skill activity it acts like it's the first time they've done it and tells me that they've learned it, but it keeps their real levels so it clearly recognizes that they have experience in it already.
And of course there's the lingering issue of the screen being really dark, which is something that goes beyond the software, the version update, or even the computer, because as long as I've had The Sims at all, my screencaps have been dark like this despite my game looking fine.
