By the way, you do need a wheel mouse to be able to zoom in and out...
Here you go more zoom out more zoom in and more tilt screen....

Thank you: foreverjadon, Snappledude, and anyone else who works on this file

where exactly do you put this file? I have read 2 different things.

1: put in C:/Program Files/EA Games/TS Data/Res/UserData/Cameras

2: put in "my Documents/Ea games/the sims 2/cameras

Are these 2 different files I'm reading about?

Haven't used this yet...but such options are great!
Thanks so much for sharing your creativity.

Finally! One that works beyond my wildest dreams!

Maree464: put in "My Documents/Ea games/the sims 2/cameras - I too noticed that someone said the other - ??

I have tried foreverjardon - that lost all close viewing within 10,000ft. I then downloaded both of yours - 6/19 and 7/1 - compared all 4 - origin, foreverjardon, and both yours - 7/1 won out(which I did notice was extremely close to foreverjardon, compared to the other)....

It's fantastic! Have 70 ft to 30,000 feet, and love the "tilt screen". Thank you for this getting perfect!

Thank You...

They are not read me files, they are configuration files in text form.
Back up your copy of neighborhood.txt - and replace with the downloaded one.
That's it Done, run the Game...............
You Must Have A Wheel Mouse to tilt and zoom in and out.........

And thanks to Foreverjadon & Snappledude

this thread is mixed up and confusing im trying to download from the first message...WHERE IS IT

My original is back on the front page, also please check out my latest hack, doors for basements and etc, linked from my first post

Mike

to put doors and windows into a basement you could use the moveobjects on cheat

All I see is blue sky I cant see my neighborhood please help i do have the camera tweak :confused:

I have the camera installed but there is one problem None of my new neighborhoods dont save even the ones i used before

mine turns blue also

i might download it myself

My hoods are also all blue with this camera and i have a wheel mouse, no matter where I pan or zoom, blue, blue, and blue. This would be great if i could get it to work.

Ok nix my previous post. For all users that are seeing blue, back-up the original neighborhood camera file and then paste all text from this hack into the maxis neighborhood camera file in the cameras folder. Make sure it replaces all the maxis created text. Good luck

i love this new camera angle view, i downloaded it awhile ago, but i'm having a problem (dont know if i should ask this here or in another place, but i'll start here). It works wonderfully except that when i zoom out my oceans start to take over the neighborhood views and it looks like the roads and houses placed near the water are IN the water, is there anything i can do or does this seem like a graphics problem. Any help is appreciated (and please let me know if this thread doesnt belong here).

This worked. Thanks so much for the advice. I love it

ok I got it in the game. It looked great! Only one problem I ran into. When I tried to make a family, the background was nothing but a blue screen. I have university. Did anyone else have this happen? I really would like to have this file so help please!!!

bubbles i had the same problem, i updated the text to the file on this page by ziggybec and the camera angles were awesome, and the problem i was having with my oceans taking over the land also quit, but when i try to make a new family the screen is all blue. Until someone comes up with a solution i guess i'll just put the original file back in when creating a family and then switch back to the hacked file when i'm using the neighborhood view more. But good work on the camera, the neighborhood views are great.

birdi18 Thanks for the idea. Good one. I really didn't want to give up the great neighborhood view but thought I had done something wrong. It's awsome to be able to see it all and work with it all. Am going to try this new file and see what happens.

This is great! T'was annoying not to be able to access the outer edges of the neighborhoods, or to even see them. Thanks muchly!

my game wouldnt load with this hack installed any ideas as to why?

i tried again and it still wouldnt work some lots wouldnt load others you still couldnt see anything.

Hey! To everyone who is still having trouble with trying to get this hack to work I think I know the answer! You see I was getting a black screen with my neighbourhoods and was getting really frustrated! But then I thought go back and compare what you saved it as to the ones you hadn't touched and sure enough I had saved mine as "Neighbourhood Camera" when all the others were like "FirstPersonCamera". They didn't have any spaces in! So I did the process again but rectifying the problem and tada! It worked! So try this if your still stuck!

:gidea:

And for those people who want the original camera code here it is;
