@olivial0pezThat's what's happening to me now! I've repaired the game, restarted my computer, and even deleted mods (although I only had one). It'll rotate for me, but it won't zoom which is extremely frustrating. I'm having these issues after the update. I can't even zoom in build mode.

When I opened my Sims 4 game today, I was able to do the rotate mouse controls but not the zoom in and out mouse controls. I closed and reopened my game to try and fix it and this time I tried zooming in and out first, and it worked, but then the rotate feature wasn't working. I tried this many more times, and it seems that every time whichever mouse control I use first works but the other one in turn does not. I have tried restarting origin, restarting my computer (mac), changing to sims 3 camera, and inverting each of the controls. The buttons on the keyboard which control these camera functions still work, so the camera isn't entirely broken, but I'm used to using these two controls on the mousepad in tandem pretty much constantly and without both of them working at once it makes the game a lot harder to enjoy. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this?

After updating my Sims 4 yesterday, I have bumped into a few problems. When I get on the game at all, I can either pinch zoom using my keypad or rotate using my keypad. Not both at the same time. This means that after I restart either Origin or the Sims game itself, only one of those camera options work for me.
Before the update, both the rotate and the pinch zoom worked perfectly. My Mac has more than enough storage for the game and I have changed to and from the Sims 3 camera many times. I have also restarted Origin, Sims 4, and my computer at least twice. Oh also, I do not have mods.
After looking at all of the other questions/answers, I cannot seem to find one that fixes my problem. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Thank you so much!

I am experiencing the exact same thing! I am glad that it's not just me... I was getting worried!
I hope someone helps us out. There is nothing more annoying than not being able to both rotate and zoom with your keypad.

I’m gonna be super pissed if this is still an issue when Island Living drops tonight. I don’t care about a “workaround”. It’s irritating and stresses me out which is the opposite of what I want when I play a game. I feel like an issue that all users of a certain OS are having should be addressed far faster than this...

Having this issue too. First time I went back in after the patch I was unable to rotate using my mousepad. I exited the game and removed all my mods. When I went back in, I was able to rotate but now am unable to zoom in or out.
I play on a Mac.
