- I've started with TS3 back in ~2011/12 and got so used to its camera control that the TS4 camera was just a pain to deal with. I am so glad there's the option to use the TS3 camera instead. The TS4 camera just seems too restrictive imo.
- I have more control with Sims 3 Camera and already familiar with it, it's hard to zooming on the specific point that I want using Sims 4 Camera
- Skaazilla6 years agoRising HotshotI played TS3 so that's what I'm used to, why learn new controls when the tried and true is still available. Even so, I've always had to invert the rotational directions so when I move the mouse to the right, the camera rotates/looks to the right, and moving the mouse down, the camera looks down. It feels backwards otherwise, up is down/down is up, right is left/left is right by default. Also, the Sims 3 camera with inverted rotation works similar to World of Warcraft controls which I'm really used to as well, it feels more natural to me. The Sims 4 camera is so uncomfortable not being able to really look up or down.
My nephew even commented to me how the camera controls are way better and easier to use on my computer than his, I had to show him how to switch it to Sims 3 camera and invert the rotations. - MDianaSims6 years agoSeasoned AceI remember I initially used TS4 camera and didn't mind it much in live mode. But once I started building, I came to the realisation that it is extremely restrictive. You can't even properly place wall decorations in small rooms because you can't see what you're doing with walls up. So then I switched to TS3 camera and I've used it ever since, both in build and live mode.
- I don't build much, so the Sims 4 camera is easier to use. I am a Simstagrammer (a Sim Instagram) so I only use the Sims 3 camera to get in the right positions to get the best screenshots...
- GenSimmer6 years agoRising VeteranI was so happy they gave us an option here.
When I first opened a Sims 4 game I didn't know what was happening :D
I played Sims 3 waaayyy to much to play a Sims game with another camera setttings - rjssim6 years agoSeasoned AceI like TS4 better myself. I find it easier to use.
- simsimsere6 years agoSeasoned AceI have used sims 4 camera since the start. I only switch to TS3 camera in build mode when I need to free rotate items.
- I find they both have their perks. TS4 camera in live mode is so smooth and easy to use, automatically swooping into different angles as you zoom in and out. It’s tweaked perfectly for gameplay.
The camera doesn’t shift angles when in build mode however, so for finer details I might switch to TS3 camera. TS3 camera is too awkward to use full time. - I only use the TS3 camera when building. The TS3 camera just feels weird to me in live mode.
