Camera mode in build/buy mode?

[gabrielorie]

Hi there,i just installed the latest patch and i noticed that when i press the "tab" button,it goes into cameraman mode but it only happens once :( Is this some sort of glitch?

I wish I could answer yes or no.Its a big question for me since Ambitions.

Recently,two weeks before installing the patch,I noticed that it was possible to go into cameraman mode (with Ambitions installed),but it doesn't work with each try.I don't know if its random or if there is a way to do it each time if your timing is perfect.
Well,it worked sometimes this way : Pressing Tab while the lot is still loading and then immediatly pressing a directional key.If it works there is a purple frame around the screen.

Did you try it too before installing the patch?

I would be happy to know that.Was so frustrated after Ambitions as I thought that it was impossible to enter the free camera in build mode....Well,even if it works sometimes,its not easy.

Thanks for posting this thread.

Anyone?

That's how it's always worked for me, even pre-patch. Easiest to just make a copy of a house and move a sim in to take pics, in my experience.

Really?I wonder if its just a graphics glitch...And thats what i always do,move my sims in to take the pics.
