Sims on Mac

Do anyone know how to switch to cinematic mode on MAC? My TAB button doesn't do anything!!!

For me it’s the tab button (which, as I’m on a French keyboard has an arrow pointing to a vertical line on it instead of “tab”).


Do you manage to size things up in your game ? Because for me only sizing down works, not sizing up ;( I press the right keys but it doesn’t do anything.

1) Try CMD+tab or Shift+tab.
2) review your accessibility settings. Mac has a bunch of features, for example, “Slow Keys,” which means you have to hold down keys like Shift, Tab, and Caps longer than expected.

Maybe these tips will help?

I play on a MacBook Pro. I am able to use both sizing up and sizing down. I'm not actually sure what cinematic mode is. Do you mean first person view?

It’s the free camera mode when you press tab.

I have a MacBook Pro to (2015) and command + ( to size down objects works but command + ) doesn’t size them up. I thought it was because I have a French azerty keyboard, but given your username you’re French too and you don’t have the problem.

Resizing objects on Mac for me works with keys.

And as others, the Tab key (arrow pointing right on the top left of the keyboard works to go into cinematic mode (shift+tab goes into first person mode). It could be mapped to a different action on the Mac?

The one keyboard thing that bugs me on Mac is that rotating between swatches (numeric keypad + and - keys) doesn't have a Mac alternative :( (it makes me appreciate my external keyboard more)

My MacBook Pro is also 2015. Strangely, I’m not actually French; I’m just drawn that way. ?
I think I use the brackets for resizing. I’ve never used cinematic mode — something new to try!

Oh ok! Might be my keyboard then. I guess I could install an English keyboard and enable it when I play the game, but I’m afraid I’ll keep using the wrong keys, as both keyboards layout is different. But if I can finally size up objects it would be worth the shot.

As for cinematic mode, it’s great to take screencaps and visit builds as if you were there yourself.
