  • I can reproduce this, when the machine is idle it shows images (in normal and FPV), but when you play it in FPV it shows a black screen.

    Thanks for testing @Phantomlover1717

    I can't test anything FPV myself.

    Going to add this as needs input to get some more voices on this (how bothersome is it)

    @crinrict There's also an issue with using FPV and the rocket ship. It takes the camera under the map, instead of just kicking you out of FPV

    @crinrictThe arcade screen also turns black when your Sims plays in normal perspective. Happened already before the latest patch.

    EDIT: Nevermind, selling the arcade machine and buying a new one fixed it.
