Cameraman TAB Mode Glitch

Champion (Retired)

Cameraman TAB Mode Glitch since the December 16, 2014 Patch.

I have Zero Mods/3rd Party CC
Playing Sims 4 since launch from Origin Digital Deluxe version.
Game upodated to 1.3.18.1010

I use TAB for Cameraman Mode to get closer / better aligned screenshots.

Today (just now) I was playing a save created before the patch.

When going into TAB mode the picture becomes blurry/distorted.

Going out if TAB mode the Camera shoots way up onto the air far from the lot.

I run on a desktop and have had no problems running on Ultra settings.

Had done all the above before posting here.

Still looking at ways to troubleshoot this and a few other issues.

I was going to call this solved but then it happened again. An earlier version of the same save as before. The babies are 3rd generation.

After havung done all the actions described above I copied and pasted this save file into my game and did another Repair Game.

The save was at the spot a few days before the babies were born. I tested the camera mode and had no issues with it at all.

Once the babies were born I used Cameraman TAB Mode and as previously the image was out of focus/blurry.

Cameraman TAB Mode = Blurry and out of focus.
When going out of TAB Mode the camera shoots way up into the sky.

Looked blurry for me too but I couldn't duplicate the shoot up in the sky.

 

@GamerGuySteve Could you give this a try in your game ?

Playing this save right now Standard smile

I took an indoor shot and it did not look blurry nor did the camera shoot away when I hit TAB again.

No issues there.

Took some other outdoor shots and not a problem. It is only when I tried to do this with the Babies that the camera goes wonky.

{Posessed Babies? LOL}

Re: Cameraman TAB Mode Glitch

I've tried in my game.

 

What it did was shoot up in the sky right when I clicked TAB pressed tab again it was fine and then it didn't happen again.

 

Wonder why that is
