Horrible camera angle while on downtown lots
dizzy:
I have a 15 to 20 degree angle shot on my 4 button. I then increase the angle for 5 through 7. The 4 button is nearly always the diagonal closest to the kitchen that faces the road, the 5 button faces the road the other way, 6 and 7 are the away from road diagonals.

Dr Beast, other games, yes I played Neverwinter Nights amongst others, the angles do become kind of default. I hadn't thought of that. My houses are often configured for a particular direction to view too.
dizzy-two, I'd forgotten about the camera presets till you mentioned them again. I used them quite a bit at first when I built ginormous lots. *makes mental note* :)

Uh...NWN is a crappy game that unfortunately succeeded the Baldur's Gate & Icewind Dale masterpieces! Excuse me, but what self-respecting RPG does NOT allow you to form a party?! And don't even mention the uncontrollable henchman. Oh, he's controllable in the expansions? I know that, I have both. So why the hell didn't they make him controllable in the core game as well, even with the expansions installed?!
Anyways (ranting over), how do you make camera angles selectable?

You talking about when you tab to use the camera? I have this problem, whenever I tab all you can see is the sky image. It's only on some of the downtown lots but it is bloody annoying.
I haven't read past this post yet but have to comment on this post by Trubble.
I have this too! Filled in the Nightlife bug report for it aswell.
To reproduce this (bug?glitch?) go to FM downtown with a sim, focus the normal camera on the centre Karaoke machine upstairs then zoom in, hit tab and you'll see the sky. When viewing the sky move the camera upwards and you'll see the lot upside down. This also happens in the downtown neighbourhood view sometimes but I can only persistantly reproduce it at FM by the karaoke.
Edit:
As to preferred camera angles..
I like being able to see my sims facial expressions and tend to build/furnish my lots for viewing from a certain position (ie facing front/back/side of the lot). How anyone can stand being zoomed out is beyond me, you miss so much from up there!

I think I'm going to go do a bug report for it also - I need to go tour Downtown first just to check.
It's happened to me on the FM lot wherever they are - no matter how much I swivel it I can never see the lot in tabbed view and only the blue sky and random run out of graphics to display kinda thing blue stuff. I will tour later and do my bug report.
I also hit tab whilst on the Pleasantview neighbourhood screen and it crappola'd out on me, went blue and was not responding, computer made a funny noise so I killed it.
Kind of glad to hear I'm not the only one :)
