Re: Camera controls do not work

Ran into this issue today on my new computer (about 1 month old now). Everything worked, except the camera wouldn't respond to the alpha keys.

Can confirm that @Lollimusic89 solution works. My system is in English, but I live in Denmark and use a Danish keyboard, so Windows 10 set my language to "English (Denmark)" which Sims 4 and many other programs don't know what is (this is only a problem with programs that ask Windows for the current language/input settings, which most games don't). Windows 10 include a bunch of language/region presets that don't exist on older systems and as such aren't considered standard per se in programming.

In order for Sims 4 to work properly, I added English (United States) and English (United Kingdom) with Danish keyboard and regional settings. Either one works. You should be able to use either of the language/regional settings Sims 4 recognize (I don't know if there's a list of those anywhere). Only for me to have Danish regional settings with US/UK language, the English (Denmark) preset needs to be installed. Be aware of that if you use/need a settings combo MS don't consider "normal".

I actually removed the US and UK English settings a week ago because I thought I didn't need them, but apparently Sims 4 disagrees.

It is worth noting that when you have multiple languages enabled in windows, ctfmon.exe will run constantly. This is a tiny tsr that runs the language bar and makes it possible to change the system language on the fly, but if you ever look at the event log you may occasionally come across entries or alerts for ctfmon. This is normal.
