More Awesome Than You!

Sooo, I wanted to know what camera mod everyone is using for FT? I usually used GunMod's camera mod... but he is MIA and the only comments on his thread that mentions FT is something complaining about problems with the patched games.

So...

Help?

I'm still using the GunMod Camera with all EPs ... but I don't have the last patch. It's still working beautifully for me (as well as others).

Sweet. It's always nice to use one you're used to.

Another for GunMod's, no patch on FT and I have K&B. Of course I keep having to reinstall it after any new EP or SP, but it's working just fine. I'd wonder if the person complaining didn't realize that the game overwrites the cameras back to the defaults when it installs an EP or SP?

Could be. It was only a few days old.

Still GunMod's here, too, with a different neighborhoodcamera.txt file that I got from someone here (can't remember who right now) that cuts the neighborhood zoom out down a bit.  Can't live without the camera mod, especially since my original Pleasantview now pretty much spreads from one edge of the terrain to the other. :)

Oh!  Could you post it?  I don't really need to see all 4 edges of my 'hood at once; the camera always makes me dizzy when I load a new hood. ;D

I'll try to find where I got it from when I get home later; don't want to not give the creator credit for his/her work.

I use this neighbourhood camera mod (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=30492). Works fine in my game and I have all EPs & SPs.

[edit] I forgot-I changed something in it so it shows most of the neighbourhood but not right to the edges-and I forgot what I did :D Sorry.

I've been using that one for as long as I can remember and haven't had any problems with it either.

I had some oddity with BV and Gunmod's camera. I had to install it three times before it finally stayed. It kept being overwritten by some bizarre occurrence. My other settings did not stay put either though, I had to enable custom and reset my settings several times before they stuck.

Do/did you use Numenor's anygame/basegamestarters? I found if I started the 'wrong' game it completely overwrote my settings and I had to reinstall stuff.

I have never used it, it has never been on this pc. At the time I was still using the CD for BV, not sure if that's connected to anything. Recently I had another issue with my settings "sticking" after K&B install, I had to enable custom 3 times before it finally decided to display them it the catalog, I can only assume that the game wasn't closing properly and didn't save the setting.

Well, I can't find who made this mod or where I got it from -- I'll credit the person should he or she turn up.  Here's the one I use -- it cuts the neighborhood screen zoom by about a third.

I've had that happen in the past, enough to make me want to scream. Hasn't happened for a couple EPs. I don't understand the option, anyways. If you didn't want to enable your CC, you wouldn't have it in your Dowloads folder.

I guess they put that in there because they know their sims2pack installer is stupid and can dump unwanted CC into your Downloads. :)

I always figured that CC was off as default with a new EP install so that EA could say "Look! It works! Anything after this is your fault!"

I'm still on BV and have no problems with GunMod's, it's just that the zoom out works a little too well.  So baaa!  ;D

I don't know if anyone posted this or not, but this is the one I'm using.

I use my Awesome one, that gives me a properly commanderly viewpoint.

Where might I find this commanderly viewpoint? I don't recall seeing an Awesome mod for cameras.
