Solved

I do not have permission to change the Camera to Ingore Lot Level.

This has never happened before I cannot save the changes to the text file to Ignore Lot Level. As soon as I attempt to save the changes made from false to true, my Notepad notifies me "C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\Res\Camera.ini You do not have permission to open this file. See the owner of the file or an administrator." I've been scouring the internet for solutions for 45 minutes and there's nothing.

@Blubutterfly100 Try copying the file to the desktop, editing it, and replacing the original with the edited version.

@Blubutterfly100 Make sure the EA App is closed, and kill the EABackgroundService in the Task Manager. Either one can prevent changes to the game's program files.

I closed it all and it still says I don't have permission. ☹️

That worked! Thanks so much!
For anyone looking this up in the future: Copying to the desktop & replacing the file did work, though it prompted me to provide administrative permission to transfer the file. I was able to press confirm with the little shield and it transferred just fine.
