Re: Sims 3 Camera in Sims 4 Not Working

Hi @Ashanna2341

I just tested this on my own game but I'm not seeing any issues with the camer.

What kinds of mods where you using that you removed ? Maybe they weren't removed properly ?

I would try repairing the game through Origin and delete your cache files.

    They were only 3 custom content hairs that were disabled once the game updated, and I never abled them again. The first few minutes into the game after updating my game camera worked, but then all of a sudden i couldnt rotate it in any direction.

    I was gonna try the repairing through origin, but I wasn't sure what that was going to do, so I'll probably do that when I can.

    Thank you. 🙂

    Yes I did! Thank you so much for helping me! I did as you suggested with the fixing the game through origin and it hardly even crashes now (maybe once every 3-4 times I play it, but I don't have a great computer so).

    Thank you, again!

    I am now having the same issue. I use the Sims 3 camera and its working except for when i try to rotate my screen. I can not use my middle mouse button to rotate my screen anymore. I have tried repairing the game multiple times through origin and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game and still no luck.

    Hi @TigerStripes99

    are you using any mods in your game ? If so, have you tried without (UI Cheat extension mod seems to conflict with some commands and needs updating)

    There are some known issues in Tab mode though so maybe there's other stuff that's broken after the patch.

    Will try my game later to make sure.

    I use some custom content and a columns mod, ive never had an issue with it before but i will try taking them out.
    I play in windowed fullscreen but im not sure that has anything to do with it as ive changed it to different views.

    I am now having this very same issue.

    I've  have never had any mod's or custom content.  It started after I purchased the new expansion.

    I cannot rotate my view on my camera at all.

    Repairing game didn't resolve the issue.

    Any suggestions?

    I've repaired my game twice and it's not working for me.  Broke after the latest update.

  • I've noticed this for the last four months ago - off and on. I just fired it up today after 2 months and the Sims 3 camera mode middle mouse button tilt camera does not appear to work AT ALL

    You can hold down CTRL and the RIGHT mouse button to do the same thing - although this seems to use the opposite orientation, so you will also need to change the horizontal and vertical rotation settings.
