This can make it impossible to achieve certain picture-taking angles or, in the case of the neighborhood view, may leave parts of the neighborhood inaccessible. For example, there is a stretch of road past the bridge in Pleasantview that is suitable for building lots; however, the game's default camera settings make it impossible to view that area.

Most players generally want to modify the neighborhood camera in order to comfortably view their neighborhood. Some players may also want a less-restrictive camera so they can view lots at the fringes of the neighborhood more easily, or to build lots situated right at the very edges. Some clever or adventurous players may also want to view hidden lots and Easter eggs buried in the once-unseen corners of the neighborhood such as Watervista Palace in Belladonna Cove.
