Photos / Screenshots from ground level

It's a shame one can't get screenshots closer to the ground/floor perspective to get better up close pictures. (Even with the camera in-game) For example, I wanted an up-close screenshot of these two sitting on the beach, talking, after building a sandcastle with the toddler. From eye-level of the Sim people, basically the toddler's eye-level point of view. (which would be waist level to the 'grown-ups' if they were standing, I guess).

Even zoomed out, I still would have liked it from the perspective of everyone in the photo's eye-level rather than looking on an angle down. :)

    Sims 3 camera more is amazing, and for even more control, pressing the TAB button helps!

    @ChelleJo How? That's exactly what I'm talking about!


    @Admiral8Q Go into Tab mode (press Tab on your keyboard) and use a, w, s, d to navigate. I do play with Sims 3 camera angles, too, as mentioned by SeaDragon.

    AWESOME! Thanks! I figured it out. It's also q and e to go up and down. B)
    I tried it out now and got a cool screenshot!

    Are you using the Sims 4 camera view? I can't get it to do angles for me either, but I have no trouble with the Sims 3 camera.

    Here's some pictures I have from the view I think you're trying to get:

    You may be taking screenshots but have shut off the display that shows it right after you take it. I press "c" on the keyboard. Check in your screenshots folder. You can go into the "options" to check it back on.

    If you mean using the in-game camera (photography) then I'm not sure. There have been reported glitches with the tripod for the "Moschino" stuff pack. I don't have that, so can't help there. I was planing to buy it because I thought it would give more variety to photographs. But I'm holding off now if the one thing I really want from it is glitched.
