You can either press "C" on your keyboard, or use the camera icon on the UI while in live mode or in the neighborhood view.

Or if you're wanting to take screenshots were you can't press C, (like in CAS, I beleve) hold down Shift and press the Print Screen button. (The button's usually in the upper-right corner of the keyboard) This will copy the screen to the clipboard. Then minimize the game by holding down the Alt key and pressing Tab, open up an image program, like MS Paint, paste the screenshot and save the image.
You can also get an image program like IrfanView that also allows you to take screenshots and will automatically paste the screenshot within the program.

Gusguns, you could also use a screen shot program.
Myself I use ScreenHunter 5, from Wisdom soft, they have a free version.
This program stores the images in a much higher resolution.
It uses the same resolution as the game is played in.

You can have them stored in the folder you want, with the name you want.
Makes it easy to find them.

The program will automatic name the next files, and you can also incluse date and time in the name.
You can set any key you want to use to take screenshots, default is the 'Print Screen' key.

You run screenhunter then start the Sims 2, everytime you want a shot hit 'Print Screen'.  
So far I have not seen any performace loss in the sims 2 while using this program.

You can find it on http://www.wisdom-soft.com.


Hope this helps.
