I absolutely need to thank you for this! The previous problem I mentioned in your Ephemeral Dreams video has been fixed. For some reason, my LerpDuration was set to 2.0 by default, which explains why it instantly went to the other mapped camera positions. Thank you again!
I agree, I would have loved something like this when I first started. Nice work faalq! About some movie makers not wanting others to know "secrets", the storyline and editing make the movie not the camera movements!
Excellent tutorial! I think I misunderstood what 'LerpDuration' was supposed to do when I was playing with the .ini file, but you've helped me out. Even with my limited knowledge, I've always helped people with questions, it's a shame that other machinima artists can't get over their egos. I'll be sure to bookmark this and share it with everyone I come across so that we can build a greater Sims3 machinima community. :) :) :)
@7:35 WOAH! I always wondered how to get the slow motion! That's such a helpful cheat! Thanks for this video, it really made machinima making so much easier! I'll have to give this a try when I get back to my normal computer ;D
Aw, I'm glad I could help. It's kinda hard to understand what made them believe that having a well knowledge of this stuff would made them better machinima makers. Of course, they would have had a good quality with the smooth movements & etc. but like mandilee626 said, the storyline & your authenticity is what makes you real better. Thanks a lot for sharing this too. See you~
@MrDonkazi The only way to "overwrite" that file is by replacing it with another one. So you should "Save as" the edited file and drop it in another place so that you can overwrite it by copy&pasting it in the folder. That should work, it shouldn't appear a message of "access denied".
@TheIgnoredish Hmm... well, I think the thing that help me to zoom in like that is the mod in the first step. Now there's a .PACKAGE file that contains that file so you don't have to change any .ini file. It's really helpful but I don't know how to change the value "Lerpduration".
@Jako98145 The only way to "overwrite" that file is by replacing it with another one. So you should "Save as" the edited file and drop it in another place so that you can overwrite it by copy&pasting it in the folder. That should work, it shouldn't appear a message of "access denied".
You're english isn't choppy. Thanks for this tutorial! It SHOULD have been helpful...my computer got problems in the disk drive and couldn't read my sims 3. At first I thought it was the game so uninstall it and lost all of my videos...*sob*
@SimlishSammy The only way to "overwrite" that file is by replacing it with another one. So you should "Save as" the edited file and drop it in another place so that you can overwrite it by copy&pasting it in the folder. That should work.

@wikkidvampyre It IS for PC owners. C:>Program Files>Electronic Arts>The Sims 3> Then the Game Data folder should be there. To remember the exact path I had to go through again on my own PC.
thanks very much for this! great music with the tutorial too ^__^. I noticed at the end there it appeared as if though you were controlling your sims animations directly through commands. How do you do that?
La velocidad que yo tengo es de 2.0, intente cambiarla y no me deja guardarla, la remplaze por otro archvo con velocidad de 10 y muy rapido, la cambie a 30 y va aun rapido :(
Patty Sims te va lenta solo cuando pulsas el tab, en la camara normal, la velocidad sigue igual, yo lo pusè 15, para que no me vaya ni muy ràpido, ni muy lento
Patty Sims eso si es raro, màs ràpido que la del juego? a què velocidad la pusistes?miestras màs alto es el valor , màs lento te va, solo puedes poner numeros a partir de 10 hasta 20
@Angel48rules You hit Ctrl+Shift+C at the same time, it'll open up the cheat box. Then you type in hideheadlineeffects true. That'll great rid of the plumbbobs, thought and chat bubbles.
I never had a problem with that in the past with this modification of the VideoCamera.ini but you should back up the original file just in case. You never know what could happen. I always have a backup of the stuff I modify. Good luck :)
En los minutos finales del video hay un tremendo cartel diciendo dónde podés conseguir CustomContent, (peinados, etc), también hay un Tutorial en esa misma página.
For those with difficulties try to get the new improved way of doing mods.. forexample you need to download something called Reascorce the file is a CFG then u need sperate folders like mods (in ur EA sims 3 file) then you packages.. also u need to download the 7zip thing too. then press extract here. afterwards when the file is finally made into a package file, then you can move it into the the package file area. yea it is simplier if u go to an offical website to see it.
@msvjuliet Well, when I want to get that effect I film the same scenes multiple times from different places. Or I just stop recording and pause the game fast so that I can change the angle and keep filming.
@Georgia44cnr With CHAOS MOD, you can get it at Mod The Sims 2 but we're all waiting for an update, because it's incompatible with the latest Sims 3 patch.
buen tutorial. tengo una duda, en que calidad grabaste el video? por que siempre que lo grabo se va quedando como pegado y al final la grabacion queda muy mala, en tu video se nota que la camara se mueve muy bien y no se queda pegado :S
Seems like you know everything about taking pictures on the Sims 3, so I have a question for you. Can you edit the pictures? What I mean is, can you write things under the pictures? I heard that you can't, and although I want to buy this game, that is a deal breaker for me. Thanks!
@Greendaycheese Just copy the files you might need to replace into another folder so that if you want to change it back to the original you have it safe.
@Ardy777 Instead of saving VideoCamera.ini to replace the old one, save it to your desktop. Then, move the one from the desktop and let it replace it the old one. That should work.
Quick question: Can you change the LerpDuration WHILE in game? Because I decided to make a machinima and it requres different transition speeds from one shot to the next. I don't want to have to keep exiting and reopening the game just to finish a quarter of a scene
The mod in the beginning of the video she told you to install, but if you have that mod it wont let you change the speed so delete it and you can change the speed.
xp: press ctrl+shift+c then type hideheadlineeffects on vista: press ctrl+windows logo+shift+c then type hideheadlineeffects on The small box where you type the cheat is at the upper left corner of the screen.
Hahaha, gracias siiiis ~ Tanto tiempo!! Me alegro que te sirva, para eso lo hice. por qué hacerlo solo en inglés si hay gente que conozco que habla español. Era simple, lo hice con las dos lenguas y punto. Necesitas más ram, o no sé. Capaz es la placa de video y el ram. u__u El procesador también, hmm... capaz en el foro te pueden ayudar a conseguir mejoras para tu compu de acuerdo a lo máximo que puedas a llegar a pagar. No sé, después vemos :) ~
You're totally right, but now I want to know who are those machinima makers. Well, it's not really necessary but just because. Anyway, good luck Mandilee :)
@xxbubblewrapppxx There has been people asking me for that too. I don't have any idea of what to do there. Are you logged in as the admin of your computer? Do you have Windows Vista or something that it's not XP?
Ayudenme! hago el tercer paso, edito el archivo .Ini , Guardo los cambios y despues al grabar no pasa nada, no noto el cambio y despues veo la escena y es igual! Ayudenme!!!!!! :'(
I'm really sorry for not answering all your questions. If you are having problems with the "access denied" stuff you should know that the only way to "overwrite" that file is by replacing it with another one. So you have to "Save as" the edited file and drop it in another place so that you can overwrite it by copy&pasting it in the folder where the .ini files are located. That should work. If you have another question. PLEASE send a PM.
Hi, I really liked this video and it was very helpful :) But I have a problem, when I am supposed to slow down the movements between the shots, it goes like "Acces is denied" when I am saving the changes. Will it be different with windows 7? And i tried to download that mod, but that didn't work to download at all! Please, I need some help! Thanks
@SwimmyPaige Do you have an account with Modthesims? Usually, when it tells me No Cookies Found, it means I'm not logged in. To download from the website you have to register.
I still got problem with the smooth capture, do I need to start recording before I press ctrl+5 and stop the recording, moving to another angle, and press ctrl + 6???
Basicamente es lo mismo, probalo. Lo único que no te va a servir es el archivo para bajar, la rotación y la parte esa de modificar, creo que era la última. Saludos.
@xXInDespairXx I really don't have any idea if Windows 7 has to do something about it. Maybe you're not logged in the admin User of your computer? Sorry if I couldn't help at all.
could you help me? i can't zoom in much at all, and i REALLY wanna zoom just like so you can only see the face. what should i do? (i suck at english, it's not really a surprise if you don't understand.)

Yo tuve que descargar otro mod que me pone lenta las dos camaras, es desesperante muy rapido y muy lento :(
Patty Sims te va lenta solo cuando pulsas el tab, en la camara normal, la velocidad sigue igual, yo lo pusè 15, para que no me vaya ni muy ràpido, ni muy lento
si pero lo que quiero cambiar es la velocidad de la camara al pulsar Tab, va demasiado rapido, demasiado!
Patty Sims eso si es raro, màs ràpido que la del juego? a què velocidad la pusistes?miestras màs alto es el valor , màs lento te va, solo puedes poner numeros a partir de 10 hasta 20

lmaooo when you talked about abusing the movement, it was hella funny!!!
@SuperWeah Haha de nada
Amazing!
I'm so happy for you!
I'll be waiting for your machinima then~
MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS! AL FIN PUDE APRENDER MÁS SOBRE EL TEMA! Voy a empezar a hacer historias y me salvaste de una buena :D
En los minutos finales del video hay un tremendo cartel diciendo dónde podés conseguir CustomContent, (peinados, etc), también hay un Tutorial en esa misma página.
After you used, for example... CTRL + 6 & CTRL + 7. You just push 7 or 6 & it should start the smooth movement. (:
Did you hold Ctrl button while pressing 5?
And Thanks for the tutorial Faalq. very useful.
For those with difficulties try to get the new improved way of doing mods.. forexample you need to download something called Reascorce the file is a CFG then u need sperate folders like mods (in ur EA sims 3 file) then you packages.. also u need to download the 7zip thing too. then press extract here. afterwards when the file is finally made into a package file, then you can move it into the the package file area. yea it is simplier if u go to an offical website to see it.

Awesome job on this tutorial! Btw your machinimas are amazing!!!
thank you for this, I have always wondered how you made slow movements
@Sims3LoveStories You can replace positions by saving other positions above them :)
@KatxLuff Edit the VideoCamera or whatever file, then save it to your desktop. Then you just drag it into the ini folder.
buen tutorial. tengo una duda, en que calidad grabaste el video? por que siempre que lo grabo se va quedando como pegado y al final la grabacion queda muy mala, en tu video se nota que la camara se mueve muy bien y no se queda pegado :S
Seems like you know everything about taking pictures on the Sims 3, so I have a question for you. Can you edit the pictures? What I mean is, can you write things under the pictures? I heard that you can't, and although I want to buy this game, that is a deal breaker for me. Thanks!
that was probably the most helpful video of this! thank you!
@Greendaycheese Just copy the files you might need to replace into another folder so that if you want to change it back to the original you have it safe.
is it possible to stick the camera on sims head? creating a first person camera?
@xxdeltacindYlunarxx Just copy and paste it somewhere else where you can find it if you want to change everything back like it was before.
Can't thank you enough for this tutorial. THANKS!
Thank you SOOOOOOOO much!!
@Ardy777 Instead of saving VideoCamera.ini to replace the old one, save it to your desktop. Then, move the one from the desktop and let it replace it the old one. That should work.
Quick question: Can you change the LerpDuration WHILE in game? Because I decided to make a machinima and it requres different transition speeds from one shot to the next. I don't want to have to keep exiting and reopening the game just to finish a quarter of a scene
I agree!
what video editing program do u use to have such a beautiful text in the beginning?
The mod in the beginning of the video she told you to install, but if you have that mod it wont let you change the speed so delete it and you can change the speed.
@charmmybarbie Access denied? Maybe you need to change the file while you are logged in your computer as the admin?
xp: press ctrl+shift+c then type hideheadlineeffects on
vista: press ctrl+windows logo+shift+c then type hideheadlineeffects on
The small box where you type the cheat is at the upper left corner of the screen.
tnk its working :D BTW for who's who don't know, you must have the right resolution, otherwise it won't work properly ;D
if you want the camera to tilt left or right just do shift and a (for left) and d (for right)
no camera mod needed!
Hahaha, gracias siiiis ~
Tanto tiempo!!
Me alegro que te sirva, para eso lo hice.
por qué hacerlo solo en inglés si hay gente que conozco que habla español.
Era simple, lo hice con las dos lenguas y punto.
Necesitas más ram, o no sé. Capaz es la placa de video y el ram. u__u
El procesador también, hmm... capaz en el foro te pueden ayudar a conseguir mejoras para tu compu de acuerdo a lo máximo que puedas a llegar a pagar.
No sé, después vemos :) ~
You're totally right, but now I want to know who are those machinima makers.
Well, it's not really necessary but just because.
Anyway, good luck Mandilee :)
thank you soo much for the video!
btw i like this song what is the name?
oye es muy bueno tu tutorial pero quiero hacerte una pregunta para instalar este mod tengo que tener alguna expansion???????
i wanna know the sims movie where people where shooting fireballs, that looked epic. whats it called.
De quien es la musica de fondo? me hace recordar a Persona 4
@xxbubblewrapppxx There has been people asking me for that too.
I don't have any idea of what to do there. Are you logged in as the admin of your computer? Do you have Windows Vista or something that it's not XP?
@TheBuntyFish Hey, it's called "Way of Life - Deep inside my Mind".
de dond descargas los peinadoz y como los instalas??
I didn't know you spoke español!
Me encanta tus videos! Cuando estás haciendo una nueva?
Ayudenme! hago el tercer paso, edito el archivo .Ini , Guardo los cambios y despues al grabar no pasa nada, no noto el cambio y despues veo la escena y es igual! Ayudenme!!!!!! :'(
@AmeliieexYeaah No, sorry :(
You can still do your smooth movements without the downloadable file.
I'm really sorry for not answering all your questions.
If you are having problems with the "access denied" stuff you should know that the only way to "overwrite" that file is by replacing it with another one. So you have to "Save as" the edited file and drop it in another place so that you can overwrite it by copy&pasting it in the folder where the .ini files are located. That should work.
If you have another question. PLEASE send a PM.
Those who are getting the access denied problem should read the description.
Hi, I really liked this video and it was very helpful :)
But I have a problem, when I am supposed to slow down the movements between the shots, it goes like "Acces is denied" when I am saving the changes.
Will it be different with windows 7? And i tried to download that mod, but that didn't work to download at all! Please, I need some help!
Thanks
cool tutorial, what's machinima anyway??
I don't understand what to do when you highlight the video camera title..
@PerfectionistGal I used Sony Vegas :)
@SwimmyPaige Do you have an account with Modthesims? Usually, when it tells me No Cookies Found, it means I'm not logged in. To download from the website you have to register.
Thanks for the first comment. Sorry to hear that, is it fixed now at least?
I use Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9.0.
@monkey1832 Not really, that's "Bastardo".
This is really confusing when it comes to the lerpDuration because it says i dont have permission to save this file ... HELP
Thank you so much, I was always confused but this helped me alot
I still got problem with the smooth capture, do I need to start recording before I press ctrl+5 and stop the recording, moving to another angle, and press ctrl + 6???
@Calciferish En este momento estoy muy ocupado, pero en mi tiempo libre estoy tratando de crear zonas para mis próximos videos.
Wow you might have got me into making sims 3 machinima! Thanks :)
thank you thank thank you!!! i been asking that question for ages!!! no good help!!! thanks!!!!!
@ZXBrad You need "Chaos Mod" :)
How do you save the VideoCamera thing? Each time I try, it asks me what I wish to name it and if I do, it says Access Denied.
Wow, this is a very useful vedio. Thank u so much!!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Gente, onde eu acho um site para baixar a pasta GameData? Esse GameData só existe no The Sims 3 pirata?
:D, glad you're happy with it.
Basicamente es lo mismo, probalo.
Lo único que no te va a servir es el archivo para bajar, la rotación y la parte esa de modificar, creo que era la última.
Saludos.
um I stilll have one question, when I record on sims how do I take the yellow banner off?
@xXInDespairXx
I really don't have any idea if Windows 7 has to do something about it.
Maybe you're not logged in the admin User of your computer?
Sorry if I couldn't help at all.
My changes to the LerpDuration don't show up!
so... I put the file in "Packages" instead of "Nonpackaged/Ini" right?
i get it!! just now, i was trying to use the camera man mode, then there it is! i finally get how to move the camera,!! thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
How do u get rid of the plumbob (the green thing over the sims head)? Or does this cera do that for u already?
I got my high and loft stuff, and I can't put in any mods, like last with my WA the loading screen crashes. So what should I do?
@xodis9 yeah it is a tutorial because it SHOWS you HOW to get the mod...
WOW he aprendido muchisimo ahora lograre hacer los videos y peliculas!!! no los hacia pq no sabia controlar las camaras!!! MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS!!!
