I get video game-induced motion sickness, too. TS3 camera was just shy of setting it off, but was annoying for other reasons. Thanks a mil. I've heard good reviews but kept forgetting to get over to GoS.

Thank you SO much!

Question

This is a great, great mod! Works perfectly. I wonder, would it be possible to remove the bounce from the higher levels as well?

I don't understand what the bounce is really useful for. It makes it very difficult to do anything. What is it that causes the bounce, anyway? Is it even possible to remove the upper level bounce without running into problems?

I'd be most appreciative for a little information on your awesome mod's concept.
Many thanks.

If I'm thinking of the same 'bounce' you are, it's related to the ground level and annoys me as well. Not sure if it can be fixed.

It only works for 'free cam' mode, not the standard game camera. You access that with the tab key. If that's not the problem, I can't help.

Thank you, Aikea, I'm getting the whoopsies from the camera and I've only played about 15 minutes!

Truly appreciated.

I'm glad to know that I wasn't the only one who became physically ill due to the camera motions in TS3. Thank you so much!

Thank you sooo much!!!! I couldn't play the game after eating because the drifts made me nausous! I'd keep forcing the camera thinking it would give in... lol

Thanks Again!

Love the mod, thanks so much...

Have one small issue, if I alt-tab out and then back into the game, the cam locks into standard mode and the "tab" key will not bring free cam mode back up. If I exit out to edit town and then back in it will work again but any alt tabbing messes it up. A very small issue, but just wanted to see if anyone else had noticed or experienced this problem.

Thanks again for this excellent mod. I am stunned at some of the basic functionality left out of the game.

Hmmm... I just tested this myself and didn't have any trouble re-accessing the free-cam mode. (Actually, I've been alt-tabbing in and out of the game most of the night without issue.) Does it still do that if you remove the mod?

I can see how that would be annoying; sorry it's happening!
