THE CAMERA CONTROLS SUCK FOR SIMS 4
You should be able to tilt, go back, go forth, and rotate the camera all from the mouse like Sims 3...even though it has an option to use the Sims 3 camera (It still doesn't work like the Sims 3 Camera) you have to use the keyboard to tilt. "I REALLY HATE THE CAMERA CONTROLS"..
The camera controls drive me insane!!! I already suffer from anxiety and when I can't move the camera I start to feel anxious and closed in. I can't explain it, but it really bugs me.
One of the best things in Sims 3 is that camera tilt button. Why did they take it out? I play Sims 2 once in a while and that is one thing I really miss.
The Sims 4 camera was designed for a laptop trackpad. You click and drag to pan the camera around, and can zoom and rotate by using two fingers. It's somewhat handy when playing on a laptop, but on a desktop PC there is no reason the default camera should be anything other than "Sims 3 camera". Using a mouse with the default camera (Sims 4) is awful, just awful.
In regards to the tilt, it drove me nuts when I first started playing because it's positioned at a terrible angle no matter how close or far out you are zoomed. I assume that's just a trade off of a trackpad design, there's typically only two buttons on a trackpad versus three on a mouse. I personally don't see anything wrong with the traditional camera (Sims 3), so why they felt it necessary to force a new camera control system (with less control) on everyone is mind boggling to me.
I have never played any of the Sims games on a laptop, I've always had gaming rigs for desktop. Know nothing about laptops or how they work so thanks for the explanation.
I play on a desktop primarily as well. Laptop is purely for convenience when traveling or when I want to go to another part of my house without moving all of my equipment.
Laptops are still very important for young teens who use them both in school, at home and sometimes when visiting friends. And in the same ways they are important for young adults who are students. Such people can't usually afford to have both a laptop for studying and a desktop for their gaming. So they usually have to play their games on their laptop too.
Part of the problems some have with trying to play games like Sims 3 is the laptop they have chosen mainly for school cannot run the game. You need at least a gaming laptop and they are expensive, I just bought one each for my niece and nephew so they could play Sims 3 (they detest 4). With coolpads, cases and the game they were over $1500 each but I spent much more on my gaming PC.
