How do you pause and play in Tab Mode?

I'm having to use tab mode to take a picture of Del Sol Valley from the Pennticles cause if you don't use tab mode the whole city doesn't show. With that said I'm trying to shoot pics of my sims in front of the lights no keys on my keyboard will pause or play. If I want to catch my sims doing a certain interaction I have go back to the regular camera to Pause or Play. My keyboard doesn't let me play or pause in tab mode.

    Pressing 0 is supposed to pause the game and pressing 1 should put it back into play. This should work even in tab mode. If it isn't working I'm not sure what the issue would be, I do it all the time.

    I tried 0 on the right side of the key and it didn't do anything but I didn't try 0 at the top of the keyboard.

    If you want to use the numpad on the right side, I suggest making sure you also use the num lock. :)

    Ok thanks. I didn't know about Number Lock.

    I usually use the ` button. It's right beside 1 at the top of your keyboard. So, my method is go on Tab mode, and the switch between ` and 1.

    This.

    In Tab mode, I use

    `

    to pause and

    1

    for speed one (and 2, and 3 for speed two and three, though I never speed two and three in tab. TBH, I only use ` to pause and unpause).
