I think it’s also worth mentioning you can turn off ignorelotlevel so you can stop the camera from jumping around when moving it around while you have various levels of floors etc.
YES!! I only learned about this recently so I did not know when making this video. I still need to look into the details of how to do this but ever since I’ve known this was a thing my mind was blown. The camera jumping is one of the must frustrating things!! Thanks for reminding me that was something I wanted to fix! 🩷
@@Rosannatxt I just opened the folder from Steam and followed the instructions I found on Google. There was 3 spots to change to true. There is also a YT video too!
I have been playing sims for over 2000h and only now thanks to you know how to use the sims 3 camera and I'm so freaking thankful!!! This is a game changer for me
This was so helpful 😭😭 getting back into the sims after a really long time and I’m tired of not knowing how the camera works. Watch me watch your video until I have it memorized 🎉
How do we see a view with both ceiling and floor (like many other Sim builders do)? Even if I manage to have eye-level view, but the ceiling is not in the view...
if your in that camera view (the eye level) use the scroll wheel on your mouse to zoom in and out. If you zoom out you should see floor and ceilings however, if you do this too far the image might get really distorted. If the rooms are big enough, try moving backwards further, this usually helps cause you don’t have to zoom out that far! Hope this helps 🧡
🏆 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I just discovered your channel when I did a search for camera controls tutorials for the Sims 4 and this really Hass to be the most easy to understand and complete camera tutorial video I have found yet! Thank you so much for doing this video! You did a fantastic job! And you definitely got my subscription and my likes! 👍🏻 👍🏻
First person is almost unplayable, but from time to time it’s fun. I especially love it when I tell my sims to go jogging right after grabbing food and they start running with a plate of pancakes in their hands 🤣
THANK YOU I ACCIDENTLY BROKE MY MOUSE BROKE AND FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS I DONT HAVE A MOUSE AND I HELPED ME ALOT IN PLAYING BECAUSE MY CAMERA WAS STUCK IN ONE PLACE
Hi I love your tutorials, do you know how to get better gallery pictures after building a house. Some lots have obstacles in the way which ruin the shot.
Hey! Thank you, I'm so glad the tutorials are helpful! I actually have a video on this topic! Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/AFq6d-hB8TA/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps
I don't know why they dont integrate both s3 and s4 camera functions...like why cant I tilt my camera in s4 by holding shift + right click or something like that.. its not hard to do at all, instead I find myself also constantly switching between both camera modes.. which is really annoying
Darn. The main reason i came here is to learn how to rotate the camera with keyboard shortcuts but i’m a hardcore Sims 4 cam user. I know a lot of longtime sims players also played the sims 3 but i played much less of it and all of the info about how to play it has left my brain, lol. I actually still own it but i haven’t played it or had it downloaded in years and years. i’m scared that it’ll be too laggy and that i won’t know how to play it and get frustrated.
@@Rosannatxt i figured how to rotate with sims 4 camera!! i actually noticed when i hovered over the rotate button. it’s the >< keys. the only time you can’t really use it to rotate camera is when you’re in build mode and holding an object, it just rotates the object, which is still useful!!
Even if you use a track pad you can still right click. It depends on what laptop you use if there is a right mouse pad button in your trackpad, wether a certain area is the right mouse button or if it’s a tap with multiple fingers!
How do I keep the camera from dropping off edges in build mode? The camera not being stationary is driving me insane when I'm doing roof trim and fine detail decorating.
Hey! I’ve been wanting to make a video about this but here you can find the written instructions: answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-Camera-bouncing-uncontrollably/m-p/7674846/highlight/true#M86634
@@Rosannatxt Thank you, so much. That's exactly what I was looking for, I just didn't know it was called "camera drift." I never would've found that article myself.
oh yes I know exactly what you’re talking about… unfortunately i don’t know how to fix it. I know there is a way to actually go into the game files and change values but I don’t know how to do it and it’s not like a standard fix. But the jumping up and down of the camera is ANNOYING, I feel you 😭
When I used to play on a macbook (and my mousepad also didn't have buttons) my only solution to this was to enable the tactile click. So instead of just being able to click on my mousepad by touching it I'd have to actually click (as if the mousepad was one giant button that I could click). Moving your mouse would then still go through touch but the actual clicking would require me to press the mousepad. This way I could still click and drag. I think in the mouse settings of your computer you should be able to set this up!!
@@katherina4174 I don’t know which part of the video exactly you are referring to so I’m not sure if might have been my mistake. There is a camera mode where you can hold your right click button to move around but it could be that I mis spoke and meant left mouse button for the specific action you are referring to. If the left mouse button (your main mouse button that you use for every day clicking) doesn’t work can you clarify what exactly you’re trying to do because right now I don’t know enough details to try and help you ☺️
@@Rosannatxt sorry for confusing you. I’m talking about the part 5:19 in the video. Where you said you can hold & press the right side of the mouse & move around for the camera to move. Does that make sense? But when I do that it would stay still for a couple seconds then “jump” to another angle. I hope you understand !! This is really annoying but I’ve used the technic for now that you said with pressing the keys to move around :)
@@katherina4174 Hi! no worries!! The part in the video you mentioned says you have to use the scroll wheel to click and drag nog the right mouse button. Does that work? :)
Do you mean it’s not working at all or that you don’t like using it? And if it’s the first, can you try and explain what you’re doing? Maybe I can help you figure it out!!
The better build buy mod from Twisted Mexi! I believe they also made a separate mod if you only use that but the better build buy mod has a ton of amazing features so I can recommend downloading that one ☺️
I have never ever taken the time to think about this but now that you pose the question I don't think I will ever think of it any other way. I think, in fact, they can see their own plumbobs 😂
@@Rosannatxt That makes sense since there are plumbob themed things in the game! I'd love to see a psychology or mental health poster with something about plumbobs on it 😂 I don't think they can see other people's plumbobs though, since you can only see it for the active sim, and that would give away people being vampires, aliens, etc!

Thank you so much for this video
Thaaankk you!!!! Great tips!
thanks so much this helped
Glad it helped! ❤
This helped a lot. Thank you! 😊
I was always wondering have how to use first camera mode!!
9:15 to remind myself how to get out of this mode when I activate it by mistake 😂
In the sims 4 camera you can also hold the right mouse button while you move the mouse to rotate the camera if you don't want to use keys for that
Oh yeah good one!! I always forget that because I'm so used to using the buttons! Thanks for sharing
game changing video thank youuuu

It's so frustrating that EA didn't include vertical tilt and axis rotation for the S4 camera!! :(
Thanks for the video :)
Yeah or the click and drag to the sims 3 cam, because then I would never use the sims 4 one!!

O M G YES!!! This is what I've been saying for the LONGEST time!! I wish I didn't have to switch all the time!!

What about those without a mouse? How can I go to eye level angles? 😢
Even if you use a track pad you can still right click. It depends on what laptop you use if there is a right mouse pad button in your trackpad, wether a certain area is the right mouse button or if it’s a tap with multiple fingers!
Does anyone know how you change the angle on the Sims 3 camera with a mousepad instead of a mouse?
It’s the same concept! Instead of clicking and dragging you click (hold) and then slide! I used to play on a laptop and it works perfectly fine! :)
