@bbortoluzzi Mine seems normal.

Everything is on max settings. Also this happens especially on apartments or house with two or more floor, from the second floor and up.

 

Posted a video also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT7e4auE-gQ

 

PS: as I said this started happening right after the last update, before everything was normal.

@bbortoluzzi I'm unable replicating at all. I can't really test for long periods cause i get motion sick but it looked fine to me.

Do you have any issues in FP view as well ?

Could you try repairing the game through Origin to see if that helps ?

FP view is fine, only happens on tab view to me. Repairing doesn't help, still the same.

Camera for Pictures Cutting Everything Out

★★ Novice

I've noticed for about the last week or so that when I'm going to take screenshots in-game, if I angle the camera downward, it'll cut through everything.

It seems to get worse the further up you go, the penthouses being really unable to take pictures from many angles.

I had thought it was some CC or mods, since I do play with them. But recently I completely cleaned out my game, it's 100% free of CC and mods and it's still having the same issues.

Trash the localthumbcache/package file too then see if it still happens.

 

Please can you also provide more information about your Mac. Instructions on how to do so and what to provide here - http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612...

 

Have you updated your Mac recently?

@Bluebellflora 

I went ahead and trashed it, but it still happens.

 

The info on my mac is:

 

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017)
Processor 4.2 Ghz Intel Core i7

Memory 32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4

Graphics Radeon Pro 580 8 GB

 

And it's completely up to date.

Thanks. I'll test this in game and see if I can repro. Have you edited the VideoCamera.ini file at all to change the live camera angles?
