How to Disable Record Video? (V key)

I keep accidentally hitting V and I'm not interested in recording videos at all. 

I'm looking to either disable record, change the hotkey, or whatever means to keep myself from recording videos.
It's taking up precious memory space and I do not want. Thank you.

Also please don't be that person and tell me to remove the V button from my keyboard. I saw that in another post and that's just incredibly dumb.

    Don't think there's a way to disable video recording and you also can't change the short-cut assignments.

    At what occasions do you usually hit that wrong button ?

    I would say, if it happens, go to the folder documents\electronicarts\thesims4\Recorded Videos and delete the video right away.

  • I have this same problem so +1... this is an old post so I dont know how effective this reply even is.  But the solution to just go and delete the video after is... unfortunate.  Why in the world is there not a rebind option or a disable option.  

    I am constantly hitting v by mistake and not realizing the green border that I'm recording until it times out.. and yeah tons of memory wasted of me sitting around making walls.  The main reason my v is hit because b is the keybind to make walls and thats my go to quick bind to just put a wall down.  So thats probably the main way I end up recording.  

    I love the record feature, thats handy - but why in the world is there not an option to make this key something else.  Because of it, I would rather disable it.  Seems to not be an option.

    Thanks for the post @MrBenPy!

    This thread is indeed quite old so I'll be locking it to avoid additional necro-posting, but do feel free to create a new topic if there's a subject you'd like to discuss or provide feedback on that doesn't have a more recent thread.

    Feedback in particular would be best over in this board, thanks!
