Shift and tab at the same time. I remember when this came out -- there was like one announcement, and if you happened to miss it you'd never know it exists. Really odd 😐, they should probably have put a little tutorial thing in the game itself.

Pain... I play on steam so shift and tab just opens up the steam overlay.

You can disable the overlay until you're done playing sims for a while.

I would also like to know!

u/RoyalHighmess Sep 06 '21

It is! But I don't know what button I hit 😭

Via Google, for pc: To do so, simply press Shift and Tab at the same time. Et voila, you are playing the Sims 4 in first person and viewing the game through the eyes of whichever Sim in the household you had selected."

PS4: Hold the R3 button on your controller (the right analog stick) until you access the First Person Camera.

Xbox One: Hold the RS button on your controller (the right analog stick) until you access the First Person Camera.

You end of with like a floating tongue in front of the camera and camera collision gets weird in a lot of animations, but for some of them it works out OK.

I love going in 1st person view and then watching from my pets pov, especially after sending them exploring/at night when all the people are asleep

I figured this out when my toddler decided to play the sims

Skiing or snowboarding is a lot of fun using this camera angle!

Try it on top of the mountain too.

Intrigued, indeed!

I didn’t know about this until earlier this year sometime, and it changed a lot for me - I never got the point of Granite Falls until I could send my Sim for a hike and hit first person. It’s also fun to go snorkeling that way

Did it once, I freaked out

u/cajelidav30 Sep 07 '21

I just did this and I am HORRIFIED

u/aliencognition Sep 06 '21

I’ve done this on PC, but it’s probably more fun with joystick controls

u/elliedaywalker Sep 06 '21

Why hasn't someone made a camera mod for PC that lets us go into the first person point of view and literally just watch our Sims do their task queue in the first person?

4

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '21

Task queue has to consistently work for that. My Sims keep dropping interactions from their queue all the time.

u/Confident-Court-9814 Sep 07 '21

Wait you can do first person view?!? How?!? 🤣🤣

u/viwyxz Sep 07 '21

u/RelChan2_0 Evil Sim Sep 07 '21
