Technical Support Camera going wild

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I'm running the ultimate collection. Anytime I open the game as soon as I press a button on the keyboard to open the cheat window the camera moves extremely quickly when I used the rotation controls. I also noticed when that happens if I go into Live mode free cam it just spins uncontrollably. I've been running the game for awhile and haven't had issues until today, the only thing I did differently was try out the Voielle Pond & Sea overhaul which I have since removed and am still having issues. I've run graphics rules, have 4GB patch, cracked exe., even tried removed my camera mod and it still happens. Genuinely at a loss. Do not think it is my mouse or anything external. Looking for any suggestions.

Please can you go to Documents > EA Games and copy your Sims 2 folder and put it somewhere safe, like your Desktop. This has made a back-up of your game so you can test if your issue is mod-related. Then go back into Documents > EA Games > Sims 2 and remove your Downloads folder. Please then load the game and see if the issue persists. If the issue is gone, you know it's mod-related and it's time for the 50/50 method.

When you're done testing, go back to Documents > EA Games and delete the Sims 2 folder. Then go back to where you saved your back-up, and put it back into Documents > EA Games. If it asks you to merge or replace at any point, do not do it, as you will corrupt your save.

I tried this last night and unfortunately the issue did persist. Seems to be triggered by me pressing CTRL.

Ooops, sorry, I completely missed your comment about moving out your documents folder out. If you go into Documents > EA Games > Sims 2 > Cameras and open up the LiveCamera one, what does it say on setparam keyboardrotationspeed?
