Default So, Camera Angles.
I don't know if I am the only one, I feel kinda silly missing it before... then again, I was expecting it to be more Sims 3ish and I've not used these particular controls for sims 3 before. But I've seen a few people mention about the flat, one dimensional camera view in game, and no mention of the following: For anyone else that might have missed it, you can alternate your camera angle side to side, or bird view by holding control + mouse movement or holding the middle scroll button + mouse movement.

For those that have not worked out how to bet better camera control.

In the bottom left and corner there is a button with 3 small dots, select this then 'Options', click on the 'Game Options' button - the little cogs- and then tick 'Edge Scrolling'. Finally select the Tick to apply the changes. This will give you the same camera control as in Sims 3

What about the Tab key? The only way to get rid of user interface when taking photographs in TSM seems to be F10 (while Tab does nothing), which means Q key still means "quit" and not "camera down" (like in TS3 after I pressed the Tab key). Quite awkward. Any solution for this?

You can also hold down the CTRL key and hold down the right mouse button to rotate the camera angle.

I know it was a happy little moment for me when I discovered the 'M' key. Pops you into Eye of the Watcher mode. Also the right clicking to pop in and out of buildings was handy once I'd finished my castle.
