Tutorial: Camera Position Hotkeys in TAB Mode

Does this sound familiar? You want to take several screenshots from the exact same angle be it for a story, a lookbook, or a CC preview. You tab into free camera mode, take your screenshot, tab out, change poses, tab into free camera mode, and struggle to remember/find the exact camera angle again. Lather, rinse, rage-quit repeat. I did struggle with that. I looked and asked around for a solution, even if it was yet another mod that did what EA failed to do. One day someone dropped a hint, there was a way to set the camera postion, but they didn’t tell how. I used all my google-fu skills and finally found out how to do it. It’s a lifesaver. A fair warning: If you’re anything like me, you’ll use it whenever you take screenhots from now on, just because you can.

Here’s how you can take a picture series like this.

Or this.

1. How to set hotkeys

Press TAB to switch into free camera mode.

Set-up your shot. If you’re happy with it,…

Press CTRL+ 5-9 (top row, not numpad) to save the camera angle.

You can save 5 different camera positions. They’ll be assigned to that hotkey until you overwrite them. Although key 4 is said to be usable as camera hotkey, too it doesn’t work for me.

2. How to use the hotkeys

Press TAB to switch back into free camera mode.

Press key 5-9 and the camera will move back to the saved position. Voila!

Tip: As long as you’re in game mode zoom out as far as you can before re-entering TAB mode. This way all faded-out objects will be visible in TAB mode again. Hit TAB, then your hotkey and enjoy a little tracking shot.

Have fun taking your screenshots! Maybe @thefoxburyinstitute​ finds this worth sharing? I have a feeling this feature is so unknown, it’s almost like an easter egg. It took me almost three years until I found out.

happy black history month to all my beautiful black ppl 🫶🏽
