BuildMode FreeCam by TwistedMexi adds TAB-activated free camera control in Build/Buy mode for flexible angles and better screenshots.

BuildMode FreeCam adds a free-roaming camera in Build/Buy mode for The Sims 4. When you press TAB in build mode, you can move the camera freely (pan, zoom, fly) rather than being locked to fixed camera angles.

Key Features
Pressing TAB while in Build/Buy activates the free camera. You can look around, move through walls, zoom in/out, and capture custom views or screenshots. The mod is lightweight and focused purely on camera control without changing building functions.

Mod Release Date
Patch update version released April 27, 2021.

Gameplay Role / Impact
This mod improves build and create mode usability by letting players inspect their builds from any angle, choose better camera placements for screenshots, and design with more freedom over perspective.

Community Feedback
Players enjoy the flexibility it brings, especially for builders and screenshot artists. Many use it to avoid awkward clipping or angle limitations. Some report minor button/icon display issues after major updates, but updates have addressed most of these.
