Camera not controlling right

I hadn't updated my game in months and have been playing offline until a few days ago when I went through and updated all my mods. I'm on the latest version and for some reason my camera is controlling like the Sims 4 cam no matter what. I only play with the Sims 3 cam, I can't stand the 4 cam controls. I do not have any mods that would change my camera controls and I'm just very annoyed and confused. Right click moves like edge scrolling and the middle mouse rotates. Left click does nothing, never had a camera control like that before wtf

    Hi thanks for the help but unfortunately when I removed the options file my game refused to load past the start up screen. I let it load for 20 minutes before I gave up on waiting. I put my old options file back in and it loaded up just fine. The camera is still broken but I might just learn to live with it.

  • 31_ella​  Please remove Options.ini from Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4.  Load the game, switch to the Sims 3 camera, quit, reload, and see whether you get the camera control you want.  Removing Options.ini will reset all your in-game settings, so if this helps, you'll need to redo everything else.  But if it doesn't help, you can delete the new Options file and restore the old one.
