I'm just posting this to state my wish for the return of the old 3rd zoom-in option over having a new 3rd zoom-out option.

So in the original The SIMS game you could zoom-in/out three times. This is still the case, but in the Widescreen version after using the "Widescreen patcher" the maximum-zoom-in has been replaced by another zoom-out - so my issue is that I cannot watch the characters up-close like in the old game.

I tried replacing the new sims.exe-file with the old and rename it and that actually did keep the old zoom-in function while also having the much better graphics - but unfortunately there were many graphical bugs in the game while using the original .exe-file after patching the game - so in essence it's not really possible to play like that.

What I want and need here is the same new sims.exe file but with the old zoom-in option kept - this would allow the player to look at the models up-close with the much enhanced resolution of the game.

They do look the same as in Simitone but it's not possible to zoom-in unlimited like in Simitone of course. It would still be better than having another zoom-out level.
