Camera Keys Q and E not working as they should be [ Edited ]

[WriteToLive]

@DMDragonCT @xjfo411x @ConyoK @jred250 Would you be okay with posting the text of your PhotoCamera.ini file (from both the Bin and Bin_LE folder in case there are differences between them) or attaching the files if you would prefer (maybe with one filename updated so I know which is from Bin and which is from Bin_LE)? I figure comparing them against mine is a good place to start to see what's different between our settings that could be behind the problem.

@ConyoK Thanks! Everything looks normal, so the issue, I suspect, is probably related to the code for the functionality of the tripod cam movement. Not the worst problem to have, but definitely odd.

@WriteToLive After testing some myself I marked your post as workaround solution.

I do have the same issues as others here which namely are:
- Slider stops working
- A/D inverted.

I tested both with inverted/not inverted camera and that didn't make a difference.

Also I'm not sure about QE, doesn't' that work properly now even without these changes ?

So I guess this is a good workaround for the moment until EA fully fixes it.

Now doesn’t work as of the April 27, 2021 patch. Such a shame now all of my sims photos are gonna be so ugly

[KariRaiha]

Yup, the workaround now doesn't work for me anymore either.

So back to waiting for a real fix by the developers.

Maybe the Sims 6 will be out by then.

@KariRaiha i know right… i might start tweeting at the sim gurus on twitter :/ its extremely annoying i only bought the MSP for the camera abilities

@niamhrj Is this when in the decorator career or generally ?

[niamhrj]

@crinrict  It happens all the time, not just in the dream decorator career
