come look, stupid question inside!

Hey all,

Was wondering if anyone knows if there is a keyboard shortcut that allows you to cycle through all your sims in a household in Live mode without actually changing the camera's position? Sometimes I just want to check on what's in my sims' queues without actually looking at them. I know this can be done by clicking on their individual icons on the screen, but with 14+ sims in the household, all that clicking is a bit tough on my carpal tunnel. Also, is there a keyboard shortcut that allows for reverse cycling through all sims? Just curious. Thanks for your time. Feel free to throw things at me for my ignorance!

I think the space bar allows you to do that.

No, the space bar cycles through sims while recentering the camera on each one as they become the selected sim. I'm specifically looking for a way to cycle through without moving the camera.

I'm sure if you just click once on the sim's thumbnail it doesn't centre on them.....don't know for sure though! I'm sure it is only when you double-click on the thumbnail that it centres on the sim.

And clicking is just what OP wants to avoid, apparently.

I think the 'N' key does what you want… not sure if this centres the screen or not though.

I thought the sims was all about 'point and click' You're right though jordi, just checked the keyboard control instructions and you can use 'spacebar' or 'N' I'm pretty sure it would centre on the sim you selected though.

I don't think you can reverse cycle though your sims using those shortcuts though.
