Description
This mod changes the Create-a-Sim camera and animations. Main features are higher camera and increased max zoom.
Combined Shimrod's and Spagtscully's mods, then made my own edits.

Works for widescreen only. Only tested on 16:9 aspect ratio, results may vary for wider ratios.

Features

Zoomed-out camera is positioned higher now and looks slightly downwards instead of upwards. Focal length is also increased a bit so that sims looks less stretched.
I really disliked how the camera looked like it was being held by a toddler before. Now it looks nicer and is more like the Sims 2 CAS in my opinion.

Scroll wheel zooms very fast now to reduce finger straining. Instead, zoom and rotation UI buttons and keyboard controls make small movements for precision.

Hand accessory and shoe cameras adjusted so that they don't stay out of screen.

From SHIMROD's Mod :
Maximum face zoom-in increased.
Zoom stops immediately instead of accelerating down.
Pets will rotate where they are.

[OPTIONAL] From BUHUDAIN's "Improved CAS Camera Angle" Mod :
Zoomed-in face camera is positioned higher now and looks slightly downwards instead of parallel to the sim's face.
(Buhudain's mod was for teen-elder only and didn't affect Create-a-Style; I applied it for child,toddler and Create-a-Style cameras as well.)

Animation Options

From SPAGTSCULLY's Mod :
I will be providing 3 of them for now:
Normal Animations: Everything is animated as usual, but toddlers stand up.
Natural Pose: Everything stands still. Humans are in a natural pose, toddlers stand up, but the pets are in bind pose.
Bind Pose: Everything stands still. Humans, Toddlers and Pets are all in bind pose.
Note that in all the options, they are still animated during traits and occult selection.

From SIMBOUQUET's Mod :
Resolves a couple annoyances with the behavior of Sims in CAS without making them completely static.
Quote:
Gender-neutral animations:
  • "Greeting" animations when creating a new Sim are no longer different between male and female Sims; instead, they will play a custom greeting animation.
  • Female Sims no longer stand with their heads tilted to the side; they now use the same idle animations and reactions as male Sims.
Better idles:
  • Sims stand still more when idle, rather than constantly gesturing and moving around. They will only react to changing body sliders and picking traits.
  • Improved facial animations: less smiling, no eye movements when zoomed into a Sim's face. Much more comfortable for editing facial features and taking screenshots. :P
  • Toddler animations have been replaced so that they will stand up.
