- Hello
This is what is written about it in the patch notesFirst Person Camera
Ever wondered how your Sims view the world? Now you can play The Sims through their own eyes! It’s something you truly have to see to believe. The controls listed here provide everything you need to get started.
Shift + Tab
Enter/Exit First Person Camera mode.
Left Arrow / Right Arrow
Change which Sim you’re currently controlling while in First Person Camera. (For those with The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs, you can even look through the eyes of your pets!)
Left Mouse Button
Interact with the world.
Right Mouse Button
Select the other side of doorways, walls, and floors. Allows traversal between rooms or across different floors.
Shift Key (Hold)
Control the mouse cursor while in First Person Camera.
Mouse Look
Move your view around, separate from where your Sim is currently looking.
Ctrl Key
Snap the camera back to where your Sim is looking.
Mouse Wheel
Adjust the Field of View settings (useful if you experience motion sickness.) - Jayel-17 years agoSeasoned AceThanks rose, I was about to Google it. I should have done that before starting this thread, so have altered the title to get feedback on what other people thoughts are on this new feature.
- I find it quite intriguing! Will take some getting used to but I think it will be awwwsoommee!
- Love it! It's such a different perspective from any other sims series!
- Jayel-17 years agoSeasoned AceWhoa! When I first did shift + Tab I got a view I wasn't expecting, and it wasn't from my sims point of view, so I hit esc, and hit shift tab (without the +) and got my sims point of view. Great fun, she was working out on the treadmill and watching herself in the mirror.
I'm going to have a lot of fun with this, once I get used to what buttons I have to press to control things. - thatsnotsweg7 years agoSeasoned AceI was feeling pretty indifferent about the feature, but after using it a little bit and having lots of fun, I love it. I still don't think I'll use it often, but I like the unique screenshots you can get with it and sometimes cute or funny things happen.
- Jayel-17 years agoSeasoned AceI'm looking forward to seeing what it's like when they go in for a kiss :D
I thought we might be able still to control what the particular sim you're seeing through the eyes of's doing, but it seems like in that mode they act on free will - or am I doing something wrong?
EDIT - okay, sorted that one out with a left click.
Now, what keyboard button do you hit for pausing the game, as in that mode you can't just pause willy-nilly - LOVE IT!

You weren't supposed to press +. That just meant shift and tab- Pegasyms7 years agoSeasoned AceI love it!!!
It really adds to immersion. It's faster than using tab alone for getting a view inside with walls up.
The only thing is I wish there was less side-to-side motion. I hope that can be tweaked in a future update. Other than that, it's awesome. I now see why a game changer raved about it, because at least for me, it is more impactful than I thought it would be.
