[FIXED] Camera automatically/unintentionally focusing on other families played

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Português
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.90.358.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All , except kits, Werewolves pack and wedding pack
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play as a sim residing in a neighborhood of San Myshuno and keep the camera focused on him. If you have neighboring families that live in the apartments and that are your active families, you will notice that when a sim from this family appears in the active neighborhood, your camera will automatically switch to this sim that appeared in your neighborhood.
What happens when the bug occurs? The camera that was focused on the currently active family sim will automatically and unintentionally jump to a neighboring sim that has just appeared in your neighborhood at the moment.
What do you expect to see? I hope the in-game camera doesn't unintentionally move around focusing on other neighboring sims that aren't in the active family at the moment.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. This issue appeared with update 1.90.358.1030.

I haven't tested it in other worlds despite having families thrown into them, only in San Myshuno could I see the problem. This camera movement resembles the same automatic movement when a vampire sim breaks into your home.

Here is a link to a video I made showing what happens for better understanding:

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play with a household in a world with another played household somewhere (doesn’t have to be in same world) with a level of fame, and when you play a sim, the camera pans to sim that you’ve played previously for no reason and they’re always on their phone, happens in the city world a lot.
    What happens when the bug occurs? The Camera pans to a sim that you’ve played with before with fame level, all the time. With multiple sims.
    What do you expect to see? I expected it to no do that, for it to no pan the camera.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

    Okay so to explain it better. I’ll be in a world, (most of the time in the city world) if there is another household in the save that I’ve played with before (most of the time with a fame level) they’ll randomly appear in that world and the camera will pan to that sim for no reason and they’re always on their phone. Happens all of the time.

  • how to stop the camera from auto-focusing on bunker in sims 4? I'll be playing with a sim and the camera will just go to that bunker in moonlight city. i removed all mods and created a new save & the game continues to do it.

  • Im on mac and ive had the same problem. All worlds all households, i even started a new save. Its very annoying.

    Is anyone still seeing this after the patch last week ? Since it was probably related to the phone cover, it might be fixed as well

    Taking feedback

    @GiardiniDiMarzo Thank you for your feedback.

    I'm going to mark this as fixed for now. Leaving it open a bit to gather more voices though

    seems it's no longer an issue so I'm locking this thread. Feel free to make a new one if it still occurs.
