Photos / Screenshots from ground level

It's a shame one can't get screenshots closer to the ground/floor perspective to get better up close pictures. (Even with the camera in-game) For example, I wanted an up-close screenshot of these two sitting on the beach, talking, after building a sandcastle with the toddler. From eye-level of the Sim people, basically the toddler's eye-level point of view. (which would be waist level to the 'grown-ups' if they were standing, I guess).

Even zoomed out, I still would have liked it from the perspective of everyone in the photo's eye-level rather than looking on an angle down. :)

    Are you using the Sims 4 camera view? I can't get it to do angles for me either, but I have no trouble with the Sims 3 camera.

    Here's some pictures I have from the view I think you're trying to get:

    Sims 3 camera more is amazing, and for even more control, pressing the TAB button helps!

    @Admiral8Q Go into Tab mode (press Tab on your keyboard) and use a, w, s, d to navigate. I do play with Sims 3 camera angles, too, as mentioned by SeaDragon.

    AWESOME! Thanks! I figured it out. It's also q and e to go up and down. B)
    I tried it out now and got a cool screenshot!

    I was able to take screenshots, but now will not take any screenshots. The camera icon clicks, but no screenshots? No idea whats happened?

    You may be taking screenshots but have shut off the display that shows it right after you take it. I press "c" on the keyboard. Check in your screenshots folder. You can go into the "options" to check it back on.

    If you mean using the in-game camera (photography) then I'm not sure. There have been reported glitches with the tripod for the "Moschino" stuff pack. I don't have that, so can't help there. I was planing to buy it because I thought it would give more variety to photographs. But I'm holding off now if the one thing I really want from it is glitched.
