Overhaul 07 - Edited Camera and VideoCamera INI Files (Patreon)

All stable! VideoCamera.ini file is 100%. / Camera.ini file may still require a few tweaks

---

I've gone through both the Camera.ini (live/build mode camera) and the VideoCamera.ini (tab camera) files and given them much the same treatment as I gave the GraphicsRules file. Trying to find the max/min values for each setting and seeing what behaves best. There's been a LOT of tweaks to things and some may require a bit of getting used to.

VideoCamera.INI file:

• You can look up & over or down & under to go upside-down! Basically keep looking up/down beyond what you could before and you'll be upside down
• Going upside-down and saving a camera angle will allow you to roll to that camera angle
• Saving an angle in the middle of a rolling panning shot will let you be sideways when returning to that angle
• Fixed the bug that causes the camera to spin off - this is when panning between angles can result in the camera spinning out and looking at the floor. This is either when your panning angles have too many items in the way or if you're too close to a wall or corner
• Removed the drift when moving around making tab camera feel more responsive
• Reduced moving around and looking around speed a lot, this is to make tab camera easier to handle which allows you to line up the perfect angles. Using Shift when moving around or zooming will be much quicker than usual to offset the reduced speed

Camera.INI file:

• Zoom notches have been redone using an exponential curve (Sims 3 Camera only)
• Zoom IN limit has been increased a little (Sims 3 Camera only)
• Zoom OUT limit has been increased a lot (Sims 3 Camera only)
• Zoom speed between notches is much quicker
• Zoom tilt has been redone per notch using an exponential curve (Sims 3 Camera only)
  - When zoomed out you are no longer forced up as high as before
  - When zoomed in you can tilt the camera upwards a bit - Sims 3 Camera only
• Drift has been completely removed from pitch and yaw (looking up/down and left/right) as well as from moving around. This affects keyboard and mouse interactions
• When loading a lot, the angles, height, distance and speed have been tweaked
• ClickDrag enabled in Sims3 camera, for those who haven't used the Sims4 camera in a while that means clicking and holding on the ground with left mouse button and moving the camera around by moving the mouse! Very useful for getting around quickly!
• Also makes using First Person Camera a little easier for the few who do use it
• A bunch of other tweaks to make using build/live mode camera easier
• 4 different version available, Slower, Default, Faster and FasterReversed. All the files have the same values for everything the only thing that sets them apart is the speed of navigating around when using your keyboard (either WASD or the arrow keys).
  - Slower is less than half of default. But Shift + moving is quicker to compensate
  - Default uses the same speed and Shift values as the default file
  - Faster is 3x quicker than the default speed!
  - FasterReversed is 9x quicker than default and pushing Shift will slow down the camera instead of speeding up! Thanks to DeliaDeetz for suggesting this in the comments. I'll end up using this version for myself!

Install Instructions:

Unfortunately we have to overwrite the original INI files. These files are located in:

WINDOWS -  ...\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\ Game\Bin\res
MAC - The Sims 4.app > Contents > Resources > res

I recommend either renaming your existing Camera.ini and VideoCamera.ini files or moving them to a different folder for safe keeping. Then grab the files from the .zip in the Simp folder. VideoCamera.ini has only 1 version. Camera.ini has 4 versions as mentioned in the post above -- choose only 1 of these.

If at some point you don't like the files and didn't rename/backup like I mentioned above, the default files are in the .zip in the Default folder.

NOTE: there is only 1 version of the VideoCamera.ini file, the speed versions are for Camera.ini only
