Just wanted to let everyone know I've (finally) managed to get my no-drift freecam mod in .package format. This means no more backing up of files, losing them, having to dig around for them when it's time to patch your game, etc. etc. etc. Just install this as you would any other custom content, and make sure to reinstall the original VideoCamera.ini (typically goes in C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Ini).

Original VideoCamera.ini file
Grab this if you forgot to back up/lost your original VideoGame.ini file
Just remove the .package form of the video camera mod, and paste the following into the videocamera.ini like you used to do for the first version of this mod:
