Underwater view
« on: June 27, 2013, 04:31:18 PM »
I've seen this nice screenshot of a underwater view while snorkeling. How do you get underwater view? I tried using tab but all I get is blue surface. My graphic settings are all on high. I really don't get it and would love to see underwater...

Only time I've been able to get underneath was in a pool where I could go down a level.  Other than that I haven't really seen a way because I get some of the same issues trying to use tab.

When I use the tab key, sometimes it bounces me back to the surface of the water, other times it doesn't.  I haven't figured out yet why it works sometimes and not others, but I suspect it may have something to do with the angle of the camera and whether there are rocks in the vicinity - it does seem to me that I've had better luck catching those underground views when I'm not near any large rocks, but I need more experience to be sure of that.

If you want a clearer and more colorful picture you have to zoom in very much. Otherwise its grayish and grainy. I don't know about getting a big picture of the whole thing.
I love this forum and just want to say thank you to everyone! :) Have a great rest of your day!

When I take my Sim diving I press the "down" button one time after they go under (like you would do if you are going down 1 floor in a house). It always works for me.

Actually, snorkeling isn't when you can get underwater images. You need to be scuba diving. As soon as your Sim dives in, the camera automatically switches to underwater view and you can take as many pictures as you like without using any tricks.
