Hi, 

So I've just finished updating the game from the patch on 9/21/2021 and loaded into the save file I was currently working on. I entered build mode from live mode and noticed that I can't move my camera properly. I checked to see if the right camera was enabled, even switched back and forth but the problem remains. It also happens in live mode. I first thought it might be my hardware, but it's not. My mouse and keyboard are working just fine. But now I can't move my camera up and down or drag the screen with the mouse.

    W and S work fine for both cameras for me and using the mouse as well.

    For Sims 3 camera are you pressing the right mouse button while moving ?

    For Sims 4 camera I have to press the middle one.

    If that doesn't work, please try repairing your game through Origin.
