I see that I'm about 2 month behind you or something. But, you might just as well install the game all over again. Just remember to move your downloads for the game somewhere safe for the uninstallation process.


I had a major problem when I installed this mod. The surroundings of the house was dense red, not like red lights(day light or lamps). I removed the mod, put back the original, restarted the computer and everything went back to normal. It's probably to do with some crash in other mods I have. I'm not gonna do a lot of research to find out why, just leave the game as it is. I just wanted to make a note of it. If the camera starts annoying me, I will have to try sort it out. Sorry it didn't work.

Thanks, this is a very nice mod! I really don't see why anyone would want to use the default. This mod is like taking a 2D picture and making it 3D, very glad someone actually took the time to do it.

Just one problem I did find with it - it interferes with the photography skill that was introduced in WA. What happens is it blacks out some of the screen when using the camera interface. Usually this wouldn't be that bad, only thing is it blacks out the frame that indicates what the photo will actually be, meaning you can't actually see what you're taking a photo of. I took it out and replaced the old videocamera.ini file. Would it be possible to rectify this issue?

Still, great mod. Thanks a bunch!

PS. I have update 2.3.33 for WA.

Ah, fantasic! I can't believe I didn't see this before. The drift is the thing that annoys me the most, why EA even did it in the first place I still can't figure out...

resistance is useless.

Hi. I have heard a lot of good things about your mod, and it was recommended to me as I am trying to learn how to make machinima. The only problem is that the package file overrides the videoCamera.ini file and I am unable to change the speed of my camera movements. Is there a way to get around this? I know your title says "Now released as a package file"...does that mean there is an older version I could maybe try? Sorry if my questions seem noobish, I would just like to find a way to make it all work for me.
Thanks in advance for your help.
And thank you for the mod...whether I can use it or not, I'm sure many others games have been greatly improved!

Oh no, with this package file, impossible to modify the camera speed in the VideoCamera.ini file... Can you resolve this problem, please ? Thank you !

Default Mod not working for me.
I am running HELS and the package version is not working for me. I don't have the .ini file any more. Could you put that up for me to download please.

Thank you for your time. :lovestruc

This is great! Is there any camera mods out there that let you view the whole neighborhood from a greater distance. I know there was one for the Sims 2 but I can't recall the name of it or who did it, but you could see the entire map and you could zoom out further while on a lot.

I can't save this file as video camera.ini file in my nonpackaged/ini folder to replace the default video camera.ini file.

Thanx! Now I can continue with my machinima. It's compatible with WA right?

I'm really confused on this....Can someone please help me? Do I still need to overwrite anything now that it's a package file or delete the videocamera file? I'm sorta a newb when it comes to mods.... Thanks!

I don't believe that you need to replace anything. You just plunk the package file into your mods/packages folder in The Sims 3 folder.

Now I just have to hope this gets updated for Generations. lol

It conflicts with the VideoCamera.Ini. That's why I removed it for me to use the LerpDuration. I hope you could fix that.

Nope, can't do anything about that. This mod is just a modified VideoCamera.ini in package form, so you can only use one or the other.
