@suzantreedplayerIn the top right corner of your screen you can click on the Camera Control icon and switch your game to the Sims 3 style camera control & see if this works easier for you. I was a Sims 3 player for years before I switched to Sims 4 so that's the option I use as I find it easier to control the camera angle. It's all just a matter of personal preference.
