Camera Tilt no longer working using middle mouse button

I use Sims 3 Camera - and have done since the Sims 4 was released. Yesterday I was playing away, happily using my middle mouse button for tilt then boom! It stopped!

I have repaired the game using Origin, I have started a brand new game (moved all files out) and started fresh but the issue is still there. The issue is NOT my mouse (using the wheel in the Sims 4 still allows me to zoom) and it still works in other games. 

I know other people have had issues with this and they use the CTRL key and pressing right mouse button work around but I find that super frustrating.

  • As you mentioned in the other thread, your The Sims 3 mouse option is still on.
    Could you try taking your 'Options.ini' out of Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4? 

    Start the game, you'll notice your options all have been reset, try seeing if turning the Sims 3 mouse on fixes the problem.

    If not, you can choose to put the file back and overwrite the new one the game made.

    Try unticking SIMS 3 Camera in option, exit the game, open it, tick the option befor loading your game, exit again, then start your game. See if that gets it back to the TS3 camera.

    Have you tried using a different mouse? I can't reproduce this problem so, I'm thinking it's the mouse, or mouse settings in another application that are causing the problem, or the mouse needs new drivers if it's a gaming mouse.

    I would suggest just trying a different mouse. Maybe this one has something wrong when you click on the middle mouse button. Or maybe even restarting your computer or taking out the usb of the mouse and plugging it back in will help. 

  • @korinalea I'm now having this very same problem and can confirm it is not an issue with my mouse... did you ever solve this? Thank you!

    Hi @studioamaia,

    It's unlikely you'll get a reply from the Original Poster as this thread was created 4 years ago and the conversation hasn't been active in that time. Also the advice shared here might not apply now. Could you open a new thread please and include any additional information you feel would be relevant? I'll lock this thread in the meantime.
