I still cant figure it out
I was hopping with anger and frustration with the camera when I first got the game. Now that I understand it all and have it setup right, I like it.
There are two camera modes:
Sims 4 mode
This mode is great for quickly switching between Sims and following them. I use this mode when in large households and I need to switch round Sims quickly to get all their needs sorted before work/school
LMB: Click and drag the screen
RMB: Rotate left and right around the cursor (If you right click a sim, the rotation is around them)
Click and hold mouse wheel: This will pan the camera in the direction that you drag the mouse.
Sims 3 mode:
I use this mode if I want finer grained control over the camera movement and is good for static situations where you can control the angles etc.
LMB: not used.
Click and hold RMB: Pans the camera in the direction you drag the mouse.
Click and hold mouse wheel this allows you to rotate in all angles from vertical to the horizon
You can switch between the two modes with CTRL+SHIFT+TAB
I have the Sims Steel Series mouse, but any mouse with extra buttons can make the game much smoother to play.
I have mapped the keyb combination to a spare button, so I can switch the camera mode by just pressing a little button on the mouse. The other button I have mapped to the needs window.
