What it is
You can see your home in three views:
- 🏠 Above: a dollhouse view.
- 👤 Inside: a room view over your shoulder.
- 👁 Eyes: a first-person view.
How to change the view and move around
- At home, tap ⋯ → View, then choose Above, Inside or Eyes.
- In Above, pinch or scroll to zoom. Drag to tilt, or use two fingers to pan. Tap ⋯ → Turn the room to rotate it a quarter turn and lower the near walls.
- In Inside or Eyes on a phone, hold the lower-left area to show the joystick, then push it to walk. Drag elsewhere to look and pinch to zoom. Tap a spot to walk there, or tap furniture to use it.
- On a computer, use WASD or the arrow keys to walk, drag to look and scroll to zoom. Shortcuts: M for map, H for home, B for Buy, P for phone and S for Sim.
In Inside, walls, doorways and doors reach the ceiling, except for a wall between you and your Sim. It lowers while it blocks your view, then rises as the camera moves behind it. Outer walls on the camera side are also cut away by a quarter. There is no ceiling. Above and Eyes are unchanged.
