Camera Bounce 2023

Can anyone please tell me how to stop my camera from bouncing to higher buildings? I have researched this for several days now and none of the resolutions work post-new update. I do not have access to a "camera.ini" file nor can I find a way to stop the bouncing camera via any other option. Please help? Or please share with me where I need to go/look for a solution that works? Thank you so much.

    Mine was completely different because I purchased Sims 4 through Steam.

    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.



    This doesn't seem to work for me. It makes the camera fall through the floor of a house when on an upper level.

    Those of you who cant find the folder. Have you tried selecting the show hidden folders option. I recently had to do that to find the engine.ini from Hogwarts legacy to remove the fog in game. I could not see the folders needed, then youtube'd it and saw that I had to actually show the hidden folder. Some people see it and some dont ;)

    Ah. I'll have to try that. Can't find the option menu for "show hidden folders", but I'll look into it. Thank you @mcrudd.

    @Admiral8Q Here is a print screen to hopefully help you. There are two pictures, the top one shows you how to access the hidden folders. You click on view, which is circled in red and then you tick the box (mine is unticked sorry) that is circled in green. Once you tick that box more folders should start showing. The second picture shows you my pathway I used to reach the camera file to change. I did not find mine under programs(x86) it was just under normal Programs ;) My pathway is circled in blue and the purple is the end result file you need :)

    I do hope this helps you a little more, happy simming :)

    @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.


    I agree with you @Chicklet453681 ! And thank you again :)
  • @Jonalin Thank you for the information.? I play on a Mac and the files and folders are different. There isn't a folder called Game or Bin with MacOS but seeing the picture was still helpful. I have a folder called ConfigOverride and in it is something called GraphicsRules.sgr and I think it's hiding in there somewhere.
  • I really hate that camera jumping!

    I don't see a "Game" folder. ???

    I'm on PC.

    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


    I did try that. :|

    There's nothing in Program Files (x86) either.

    EDIT: Doing a full search for camera.ini



  • I know where my install is. There are two ways to get to the same folders. (I miss the old days of direct folders and files without this so-called "User Friendly" banta poo." :smirk:

    There is no "Game" folder or "camera.ini" file.
