Wow. Are people these days really so scared of links? Insane.

Doesn't the laptop have a touchpad with buttons? It should have similar functions to a mouse. Maybe not perfect, and it's possible some of the functions have to be combined with keys to work. I've used it in a pinch, or if I have my hands on the keyboard and is just doing an adjustment to the camera. Can't remember if everything works the same, but most of the time it has the button functions (left/right) and tracker.
To change angles like that, you need the TAB mode (cam-mode).

Depends what kind of links. If they look shady, I'm not clicking them.

Yes, those buttons are down while in mouse they are in up so this is challening. I think I tried it but maybe I can tried it second time before I get a new mouse.

The problem is to rotate with a mouse you have to press the middle button (wheel) and that doesn't exist on a lot of trackpads.
Edit: I googled "middle mouse button trackpad" and a bunch of ideas came up, depending on what laptop you have, might be worth looking at.

You should be able to rotate with , and .
I saw something about using the Ctrl button + the trackpad buttons. Might work?
I'll see if I can do a bit of testing later, but chances are I'm going to fall asleep at some point early in the evening, so don't have too much hope...

To learn how to change the camera angle, follow the tutorial that teaches you how to play The Sims 2.
Or simply hold Ctrl and the right mouse button on the trackpad, and glide whichever finger you have left on the trackpad up–down to change angle, and left–right to rotate.
The wheel on my mouse is pretty broken (serves its purpose for scrolling, but not clicking), so my left hand's index finger is constantly hovering over the left Ctrl key, and using the right mouse button for both moving the camera and angle/rotation is pretty neat; you just toggle the Ctrl. :D
But I have to admit, all that I find pretty sloppy for the trackpad.

Is it safe to copy/extract a lot that was lived in? Say I move out a family out of the house (use a mod to keep all the furniture intact) and then try to extract the lot so I can use it in a different hood, will this corrupt anything due to family memory data or something? I know occupied lots are not good to extract.
