Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 Motion Sickness: Why It Happens & What Helps
Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 looks calm, but you spend the whole game in a first-person view, walking around the workshop and leaning into engine bays. The game launched in August 2021 without a field of view option. The developer added one in Patch 1.0.29 in March 2023, and it is the main comfort setting the game documents.

Why Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 can trigger motion sickness
Walking and turning in first person shows your eyes constant movement while your inner ear feels you sitting still. A narrow view makes that worse by cutting off the edges of the picture. Steam players asked for a field of view option and a bobbing toggle within days of launch, and the developer said both were coming. The field of view option shipped. No patch note confirms the bobbing toggle, so check the game settings in your version.
- A narrow default field of view, which was the only option until Patch 1.0.29
- Camera bobbing while you walk around the workshop
- Fast camera turns when you look around with a gamepad

Comfort settings in Car Mechanic Simulator 2021
Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 ships some comfort settings, but not a full set.
| Setting | Where | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Field of view | Game settings | Raise it. The vertical range is 45 to 90, so move it up until the view stops feeling cramped |
| Camera movement speed (gamepad) | Game settings | Lower it so turns are slower and smoother |
One guide explains these settings for every game: how field of view, motion blur, head bob and camera shake trigger motion sickness.

What helps beyond the settings
- Lower your mouse sensitivity as well, so each turn covers less of the screen
- Sit further from the screen so the picture fills less of your view
- Work in short stints, and look at something still and far away at the first queasy signal
The fixes people reach for once they step away from the screen are covered separately, with the trials attached: the remedy verdicts.
Frequently asked questions
Does Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 have a field of view slider?
Yes, since Patch 1.0.29 in March 2023. The patch notes say the developer added an FOV adjust option in the game settings. PCGamingWiki lists the vertical range as 45 to 90. If you bought the game before that patch and never opened the settings again, check there first.
Why does Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 make me feel sick?
You move around a workshop in first person for hours, and the view bobs as you walk. Your eyes see that movement while your inner ear feels none of it. In 2021 the default view was also narrow, and players said so within days of launch. Raise the field of view, slow the camera down and take breaks.
Can I turn off camera bobbing in Car Mechanic Simulator 2021?
The developer said in August 2021 that it would add an FOV option and a bobbing toggle to the options. The FOV option is in the patch notes. No patch note mentions the bobbing toggle, so look through the game settings in your version. If you do not find one, the field of view and camera speed settings are what you have.
