- What does the mod do?
This mod allows you to step into the shoes of your Sims and see the world through their perspective, adding a whole new layer of immersion to your regular gameplay. With the press of a button (F1) you can seamlessly switch between normal mode and third person mode. While in third person, you can control your Sims using your keyboad to move them around the world by pressing the following keys:
W, A, S, D: Movement
Shift: Sprint
F1: Activate/Deactivate Third Person
The entire locomotion system was built from the ground up for third person. This means that the gameplay is as fluid and seamless as ever. Your Sims will automatically go through doors, climb stairs, swim in pools and even swim in the ocean, without ever taking the control away from you. You are able to control every Sim in the game. This includes Sims of all ages ranging from toddlers to elders, pets of all ages, and occult Sims like mummies, vampires, fairies, werewolves, mermaids, etc. They all have their own set of animations, each looking and feeling individually different from the rest. The camera is also intelligent and will adapt and move around depending on the situation and on what your Sims are doing. The arrow keys will rotate the camera, aswell as the "Q" and "E" keys. You can also move the mouse to the edges of the screen to rotate the camera while in third person, and use the mouse wheel to control the zoom.

- Notes
This is a pure scripting mod compiled on the 1.67 (latest) version of the game. It simply adds a new behaviour to the game and doesn't override any game tunings, so there shouldn't be any conflicts with other mods or CC.

About Me
My name is Victor Andrade and I'm a videogame developer. As such, I'm a natural programmer always striving to improve my skills and learn something new. Modding helps me accomplish that by giving me a chance to see how things were made behind the curtains of the games that I like to play. I've already made mods for a few other games (like GTA IV and GTA V) and I now decided to dive into The Sims. Always loved this game but never actually tried to mod it.
Also, I'm currently developing my very first commercial videogame and I'm planning to release it next year on Steam. You can learn more about my projets over at my Twitter page (@victo8r).
