Hi

This is a reoccuring problem I am having. When I switch from game mode to photograph mode with the tab key after first loading up, the sims and surroundings are in proportion. Than after a while going in and out of CAS or zooming up using mouse and arrow keys, the sim and surroundings starts to distort badly with the bodies elongating. When tab back to game mode they are fine, but then back into photo mode, the sim is very far away and the furniture is very distorted.

I have two things loaded:

Aikea Guinea's No drift free cam and
No drift low level.

I hope someone can tell me how to fix this.

Without a pic, I can't be sure, but...using the mouse wheel while in camera mode will give you a "perspective" view allowing you to fit more of the area in the window. Some objects will look far away others really close and they will be distorted. Something like this:

To avoid that, use the arrow keys or the W,S,A,D,Q & E keys to move around.

If you are referring to something else perhaps if you attach a pic it would help more.

Yeah, cameraman mode in TS3 is really weird. It's caused by zooming out too far. Often you don't notice, because you zoom way out and then move the camera forward to compensate - so you end up with the fishbowl effect without realising it; that's especially easy to do if you have a no fade mod, since it stops sims fading out and telling you you're too close. Zooming in should fix it.

Cameranutz, yes that is what I'm talking about. But zooming in doesn't fix it whiterider. However, using the arrow keys and other keys seems to fix it. Thanks
