I have a question (EN)

Hello, how are you, good evening, I want to congratulate you on the excellent job you did adapting the third-person camera for the Sims 3, it really is like a dream come true for those of us who enjoyed the Sims 2 on PS2 so much in those days.

I have a problem, because I play on Notebook (Dell) and despite pressing the F1 key (or FN+F1) it still won't let me play in third person. I don't know if I have done something wrong, but I would like to ask you for detailed information on how to install this mod, because
I was able to install the sims 3 recently and there are many things that I may not know. I've seen tutorials on YouTube on how to install mods, but it doesn't seem to work for me.

I hope you can help me, regards!

Tengo una pregunta (ES)

Hola que tal muy buenas noches, quiero felicitarte por el excelente trabajo que hiciste al adaptar la cámara en tercera persona para el Sims 3, realmente es como un sueño hecho realidad para aquellos que tanto disfrutamos al Sims 2 de PS2 en esos tiempos.

Tengo un inconveniente, debido a que juego en Notebook (Dell) y a pesar de pulsar la tecla F1 (o FN+F1) sigue sin dejarme jugar en tercera persona. Desconozco si habré hecho algo mal, pero quisiera pedirte una información detallada sobre cómo instalar este mod, debido a que
pude instalarme el Sims 3 hace poco y hay muchas cosas que quizás no sé. He visto tutoriales en YouTube sobre cómo instalar mods, pero al parecer no me ha resultado.

Espero puedas ayudarme, saludos!!!

Try pressing Shift + Tab instead, that is the alternate toggle TP on/off key.

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC IDEA.
IT 100% WORKS.
THANK YOU x1000 ♥♥♥


Unfortunately though, the mod is essentially a proof-of-concept. Not playable.

- The delay between you pressing a key & your sim moving / stopping (when it actually registers) is typically ~2-3 seconds
- Lacks any sort of precision
- You turn way way way too fast

The game requests that you press "F1" to activate this mod in game but it only minimises my game instead of activating third person...

Use Shift + Tab instead.

You have to hold another Key before you can use your function or F keys.
Down on the left corner of I'm assuming your laptop you should see a key (should be by your window, alt and cltr keys) that says FN. Hold that key down and you will have use of your Function keys in games.
Or you can use Shift+Tab and this mod will work too.

The mod had potential, but it's not fluid when walking, the curves are strange and the camera goes up and down for no reason when walking, which is really annoying, after a while the game simply crashed, with some improvements it would be perfect, walking around the city is incredible , but the mod still doesn't work well

Not to disparage your work, but this mod in my humble opinion is superfluous.
You will achieve the same effect by right-clicking on the sim's photo; A small yellow mark will appear on the photo. With the central mouse wheel you can move closer/away from the sim and if you click on the mouse wheel you can rotate around the sim. To exit this mode you just have to right click on the sim photo or press esc

My deepest condolences.
I didn't mean to be disrespectful in any way, I just wanted to give an opinion.
