I had a play around with some of my games settings and decided to give the Sims 4 camera style another try, by which I mean how you control the camera with the mouse; I just can't get on with it so quickly switched back the option for Sims 3 camera style. I'm so used to the way the mouse works in Sims 3 and previous iterations that to change it to Sims 4 style is just too much of a wrench for me. Which style of camera control do you use?

I tried the TS3 controls but I couldn't figure how to use them. :neutral:

In fact, I use both. I use TS4 & TS3 if I want to decorate/build, especially with the rotation flexibility of the TS3 style. But, for the live play, I prefer to use the TS4 style..

I never played TS3 and I got used to the TS4 camera really quick. I prefer dragging the screen over using the scroll button, because I rotate the screen a lot and it feels lighter to me. I only wish that TS4 camera had the option to rotate objects freely. I sometimes switch to TS3 camera to give my houses the finishing touch, glad we have that option.

I find Sims 4 camera controls simpler. Plus my mouse wheel click doesn't work super well, so that makes the Sims 3 camera difficult for me. I do prefer the S3 camera for screenshots and building, sometimes.

I gave them both a test drive, and even though I've never played TS3, it seemed more familiar and easier to use than TS4 camera. I haven't played the TS2 in quite awhile so my memories of that camera are vague at most, but I have a feeling its camera was closer to TS3 than TS4 is why it works the best for me.

I can't get used to the Sims 4 controls lol I think I might have to because my mouse wheel is starting to give me issues so i might have to buckle down and use those controls...

I chose Sims 3 style, it is easier to use than Sims 4 style.

Sims 3 Style for sure
I exclusively use arrow keys/WASD and right/middle mouse button for rotation in games, so the Sims 4 controls were too clunky for me. (Never been a fan of the click+drag style in God games.)

I can maneuver the TS3 camera MUCH better on my laptop.

Sims 4. If I need to tilt for screenshots I just use tab.

I never played TS3 so I just use TS4 which took some getting used to as it was since I was used to playing RPG's with real 360 views. I tried to use TS3 camera and I just could not get the hang of it and went back to TS4.
