4. Restart the game.
Set the camera FOV
Open the cheat console with `Ctrl` + `Shift` + `C` and enter:
wideview.fov <number>
Replace `number` with any value from `30` to `120`. The change takes effect immediately. Your setting is saved to:
Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/mod_data/WideView/fov.ini
Enter `wideview.fov` without a value for help. Enter `wideview.fov reset` to restore the game’s default camera code for the current session. Restarting the game also clears the live code change, then Wide View reapplies your saved FOV.
