Camera will not move when taking photos of sims

Whenever I try to have my sims take a photo, I can't move the camera from the position that its in to get my sims more in frame. Sometimes it will let me move it around when it first loads, but once I click to choose the position it will not let me move it around again, which is frustrating because the frame resets everytime a new pose is chosen.

  • That sounds really frustrating, especially when you’re trying to get the perfect shot of your Sims! Here are a few things you can try to fix the camera issue when taking photos:

    1. **Try Using Different Controls**: Sometimes switching between mouse and keyboard controls can help. For example, use the arrow keys or WASD to move the camera instead of the mouse.

    2. **Reset the Camera**: You can try pressing the `Tab` key to enter and exit the free camera mode, which might reset the controls and allow you to move the camera again.

    3. **Check for Updates**: Make sure your game is fully updated. Sometimes these kinds of bugs are fixed in patches.

    4. **Repair the Game**: If the issue persists, try repairing the game through the EA app or Origin. This can fix any corrupted files that might be causing the problems

    Hopefully, one of these steps helps, and you can get back to capturing those perfect moments with your Sims!
