Camera, stopping it going up and down? [Solved]

Is there any way to stop the camera changing heights as I scroll over my lot? It's driving me absolutely insane now lol. I'm guessing it's because I go over a tree or whatever but I just want it to stop, I'm happy to clip through.

EDIT: Direct Link to the solution, thanks for directing me to it :)

File paths for editing the camera.ini file:

Mac
Right click on the base game app in your Applications > EA Games folder or wherever you have the game installed and select Show package contents then navigate to Contents > res > Camera.ini

Windows
Navigate to wherever your game is installed, by default C: > Program Files > EA Games then The Sims 4 > Game > Bin > res > Camera.ini

Open Camera.ini in a text editor such as TextEdit (Mac) Notepad (Windows), find all instances of IgnoreLotLevel and change the value to true.

You can disable the camrea drift for some degree from the game files. I don't have the DLC so I don't know if it'll work there but you can try.
Locate you game folder (can be found in Origin > App. settings > Install & Saves > Game library location) go to \The Sims 4\Game\Bin\res and edit Camera.ini with any text editor. Find every "IgnoreLotLevel" (without quotes) and change them all to true and save.
Only drift I could see after that was on foundation level for some reason but it's barely even noticable. Hope this helps.
