First person mod idea for Sims 3

@AlexaKry I don’t have that mod, didn’t know that. It’s also possible to see the hands without the mod by the way, as you can see here. Must admit it never really occurred to me to take pictures first person before. The genie pic is about the only one I ever did. Also because it’s not how I tell my stories (I never step inside my characters so to speak, my stories are always about them).

That being said, I like trying this out, it’s bedtime here but tomorrow I’m going to take swimming pool pictures :blush: Those come close by the way.

Not looking through a sim’s eyes here though, just pretending I’m in that swimming pool myself ;)

@JoAnne65 : I just took this pictures to show that it´s possible to shoot pics from first person angle, like you said as well. And I don´t shoot pics from this point of view, too, I don´t want to be one of my Sims!

I've removed the last 7 or so comments as one was a bit of spam, and folks were responding to it. Please carry on. :smile:

@Sofmc9

I've played around with the swimming pool. First a shot of my sim standing on the diving board.

Now for something funny (because I couldn't see this when she was talking to her daughter the other day), I could turn the camera so that I could see the back of her face. Talk about creepy :D

Charming :D

Leaving the swimming pool.

This is her diving (I deliberately left her eyes here, could have avoided that of course but just to show what it would look like if Sims 3 did have FP).

Wait, let me correct that... :mrgreen:

Now, the following pose was impossible to catch first person because her legs disappear, I just see the sky. So I'm curious if you could recreate this in Sims 4?

Ok so I tried the cannonball pose and this is how it looks :*

Lol, that last one :D

It was impossible by the way to see the surface of the water in the swimming pool when they’re under water. (the effect you see in your 4th picture). The water disappears when you do (and Q won’t work). In open water I believe it is possible... (not entirely sure) I regret that in general, not just concerning FP, because it makes under water pictures (in the swimming pool) a bit weird in Sims 3.

@JoAnne65 Btw that backflip pose sims do in TS3, in your picture, I think it's not in TS4, not sure.
Yes I guess I remember pressing tab to see sims underwater in TS3.

Any other pictures we can take? ;)

I think, considering what happens in the game (nothing indecent o:) ), woohoo would be permitted to try out? I sort of saw what it's like in Sims 4 (LGR), could be fun to try out in Sims 3 :p

I don't get first person in the sims. I am not my sim. I don't really want to see the world from his or her view. I am the creator. I want to watch them respond to the world around them, how they react with each other or the situations I put them in. I don't particularly like first person in other games and I usually switch it off if there is that option. If no option, I don't play that game.

Yup, exactly! I wanna watch my Sims...and even though two of my Sims are SS's I want to watch them too not BE them...

If I wanted to make a reunion with the contents of my stomach, yeah, I might try first-person mode. :mrgreen: :throwup:
First person mode makes me dizzy and sick to my stomach so hence the reason why I don't play FP shooters.
