Is there a Sims 4 camera control for Sims 3 mod?

I've yet to come across one, or one even near it. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough. I hate TS3 camera controls but love the TS4's, that's just my opinion, but I am surprised that I've not seen the mod...does anyone know of one? TS3's is so awkward and just...ugh.

    Do you have Edge Scrolling turned on in Options | General Settings? It is off by default. I remember when I first got the game I struggled for ages before I found that setting and it changed things dramatically for me.
  • There is also CTRL + W, A, S, D keyboard shortcuts to turn the camera which is mentioned in the tooltip in The Sims Medieval, but I don't think it is mentioned with The Sims 3 despite the fact that it also exists for TS3. Maybe they mention it on one of the lessons or something. I use WASD to move the camera and press CTRL whenever I want to turn it around. I never used TS4 with its own camera though so I don't know how that works but maybe this could help.

  • I wish there was. I really struggle with the Sims 3 camera. I didn't manage to find anything though when I searched a few weeks back.

    As Karritz said, activating edge scrolling in the options is a must, at least for me. I also inverted one of the mouse axes.
