Sims 2 PC - I want to rotate my screen but <> keys don't work?

Question

I must have pressed something by mistake - one minute my <> keys rotated the screen, now they don't. I'm not holding furniture or anything, I just want to rotate the screen using my <> keys. How can I re-enable it?

Answer 1

I get this problem occasionally while playing the game. I don't know what sets it off, but usually it corrects itself if I flip between live mode and build or buy mode.

You can also use the arrows in the game itself to rotate the screen. If you look at the bottom far left, you'll see two sort of circular arrows. Using the mouse, click on them, and they'll rotate the lot.

Answer 2

Using a pc, just hold down on both mouse keys and turn the mouse.

On a laptop, still hold down on both keys and use the mouse pad.

Answer 3

I don't know how you can re-enable it. But If you hate tab or alt [I for got which one] using thet mouse you can swirl around the camera and once youve got it in the corret place re-hiot the button that you used to start it.
