WASD Camera controls not working when sim is taking a photo

Going to keep holding out hope that this gets fixed and we get Freecam again someday with the tripod.

Freecam works with the interior decorator photos, just give that functionality to all cameras!

One more game update, once again the feature disappear, the PhotoCamera.ini "TripodUseFreeCam" return to 0

@Didier_Dal & changing it no longer helps?

I really miss when this function was *somewhat* fixed...

[Didier_Dal]

@xjfo411x yes, it works ... until the next update! Once again with the 7 sept. update, the "TripodUseFreeCam" return to 0
So boring to have to change this manually with every update. Why they change it with update? I did not change any other value in this file, but I think if I do, it will return to default at any update too. Why there is a config file if we can't configure anything.

... but good thing : dont have to restart the game if you change the ini file while you play

I do not understand how this is not fixed after so long time, when it seems an official fix would be quite easy and the same game mechanic free camera is perfectly functional in another pack. Just extend that functionality to the moschino tripod, like it was before when we paid for it. Many people me included bought moschino pack exclusively for the free camera. The fact that it got removed from the pack and that they are still selling it as perfectly functional is kind of a scam.

@crinrict can you remove the "Workaround", as the workaround no longer works, and this is still very much broken.

[crinrict]

@xjfo411x Done.

But tbh, at this point I don't think they will fix this. It's working on the DHD camera but there photos in the basements are broken so I think that's why they changed it. Just a guess though

I said the free tripod camera config auto reset when there is a game update, but not only I played two times today and the fist was OK but the second time the free cam cfg was reseted to 0 !!!!! BORING !!!!!

@KariRaiha So this WAS an actual feature at one point? I'm not going crazy? I got it a couple months/a year after it came out but I'd seen YouTubers use it using WASD, moving all around the room to take pictures...but when I started at 100 baby challenge and tried to take good pictures I had to be very particular about where my tripod is placed and stuff and it was very sad and frustrating. A lot of my pictures are dark/mostly boring. I kinda wish we had more poses too, like one that can fit a whole family (family portrait!!) and things like that. Or toddlers! It's so hard to get adults to pose with toddlers without having to be super zoomed out! Why isn't anyone holding the kid? Or pets??

More than 2 years after, there is no solution to prevent the TripodUseFreeCam in the PhotoCamera.ini file randomly reset to 0

I think is not a very difficult for the developpers to find why some process write this in this config file!!

I've been playing the sims for over 20 years and I've never seen a bug this long without a fix, even when the game was on CD
