Sims 3 camera setting glitching out

Hi all! I’ve been having this problem for the last few weeks with my sims 4 game, I’ve always used the sims 3 camera and never had an issue, whereas now holding down the scroll wheel to rotate the camera — it completely glitches out and spins my camera in odd angles and can spin a lot more than just me turning for a slightly different angle. It also takes a few seconds to actually register that I’m trying to turn to the camera as it switches between the normal mouse icon and the rotating icon. 

There was also I slight issue of the game crashing every 15minutes but I did remove the 3 Columns mod and that seemed to stop it.  

It’s definitely not the mouse itself. I went into sims 3 and found it worked perfectly fine. 
I also removed the mods folder and it continued the glitching  

Thank you in advance for your answers! X
