Camera Bounce 2023

Are you on a console?

On PC, the camera.ini is usually in your install directory > The Sims 4> Game> Bin> Res

Then find every "IgnoreLotLevel" (without quotes) and change them all to true and save.

That's the only way I've done it. And it worked for the most part (still had a tiny bit of bouncing but nothing like it was previously), but I haven't checked since the latest patch/pack because I haven't played the game beyond to look at the CAS stuff.

If I remember right, at some point they fixed some lots with this problem and asked to make a bug report for any other lots we are experiencing this. So if it's some specific lots you always experience this, maybe consider making a bug raport at AHQ forum? Otherwise I'm not a lot of help, sorry ?

@Chicklet453681 My apologies! I'm sorry I did not designate that I am on a pc. Thank you!

You are my heroine lol! I was able to find the path I needed using your guidance! I am on a 14 core gaming laptop and I feel as if the Sims were thrown into an abyss. I honestly could not find the correct path for where I needed to be. Thank you so very much for your help and again, my apologies for not mentioning what device I am using.

Have an absolutely wonderful day!

@SanniSilli Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I truly appreciate it! Have a great day :)

@Jonalin Awesome! And quite welcome! So glad you found it, hopefully that helps.

For me there was sometimes just slight little bounce on occasion but all the time, and definitely not like before, at all. It really did help.

@Chicklet453681 I really appreciate the insight. I can't wait to try it out. I lost track of how many times I missed the best screenshot because when I moved the camera that fraction to get the perfect shot it ended up flying up so high what I was trying to shoot was no longer even visible let alone framed just so.

Edit: Hmm, there doesn't appear to be a camera.ini on Macs. It has to be in here somewhere, it's just a matter of where.

@DaniRose2143, here is where I found mine :)

That’s because you are not in the correct directory. Try:

This PC > Windows (C:) > Program Files > EA Games > The Sims 4 > Game > Bin > res

C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\res is where mine is: @Admiral8Q

I don't know why mine is still Origin but thats how it went when I updated to App

If you can't find where your game is installed to find the directory then check the EA app.

The Sims 4 > Manage > View properties > Install location

That's where the game is installed. Find that drive location on your computer. You should see Origin (EA app) or even SteamLibrary for Steam users.
