Could someone please, please, please create a first person camera mod for the Sims 4? I'm not sure if it's possible but I am hopeful since there are 2 variations of this for TS2 at MTS, PacMani's Realistic Live Camera with Ego Perspective and GunMod's Camera Mod 3.1 -- All Game Versions .
What comes to mind when I think FPV is that you can play the game the regular way but when you press 'Tab', instead of switching to Free Camera, you're instead mapped to your current sim's field of view (think Fallout/Elder Scrolls first person) while still being able to move and interact with objects in live mode.
Some things that might be a necessary aspect of the mod would probably be:
Walls Cutaway = walls are automatically placed all the way up when you go into first person
the ability to open/close doors and go up/down stairs by clicking on the aforementioned objects.
Using the tab free camera I noticed that you cannot lower the camera to see under water in pools, so another aspects that may be needed is automatically changing to the regular camera mode when swimming, attending rabbit holes, woohoo, or using closets.
Obviously these are just ideas from someone who has zero knowledge of modding, so some or all of these ideas may not be possible, and even if some are, it would most likely be a large undertaking. Just know, a mod like this would make a lot of simmers happy and would definitely not go unappreciated. While searching for a first person mod, I've seen several requests on the official sims forum for a first person perspective option. So, if this type of mod is at all possible, considering the amount of people that would use the mod, I hope a modder will find this to be a worthy undertaking. Please and thank you!
If you've read this far, first of all, thank you. Secondly, if you have considerable modding knowledge and you think this is at all possible (even if you're not interested in the task), please comment and let me know. If you think it's impossible, please also let me know. Thanks again!
