Re: sims 4: how do i change to fullscreen through the options file?

Hi @sollosims 

if you added -w to your command line in Origin, you'll need to revert that.

If not, here's you need to set in the options.ini file

  • Fullscreen: fullscreen = 1, windowedfullscreen = 0
  • Windowed-Fullscreen: fullscreen = 1, windowedfullscreen = 1
  • Window: fullscreen = 0, windowedfullscreen = 0

    Hi I had this problem, but changing the options.ini file didn’t make the game go into fullscreen mode

    @Gandellion It should also work if you put -f in the command line. Trashing the options.ini should usually also revert to fullscreen

    Thanks for the info, I was able to get into game and change it via the in-game options menu but nothing else seemed to work!
