Re: Zoom out further, disable graphical effects options

you can fix the zoom out easily if you're rooted

you need:

total commander (or another capable file manager)

HEX editor

grant both of them root access

in HEX editor settings -> other settings check "root mode"

in total commander search file system root folder for "benchmark.txt"

you'll end up with maybe 6 results, just check if path contains simcitymobile, if it does, you have the right file

don't worry about changing all of them, it's just many mappings of the same file, all you have to do is to rewrite one of them

tap n hold the benchmark.txt and choose "open with"

choose HEX editor

you should see something like

| ec 03 00 00 | 03 00 00 00 | 03 00 00 00 | 00 00 00 00 |

write down the numbers, just in case you need it later

ignore the numbers in this example, they can be different in your case,

change the second and third dword from what's on that position in your file (03 in my case) to FF

so it should look something like that:

| ec 03 00 00 | FF 00 00 00 | FF 00 00 00 | 00 00 00 00 |

save it, run the game and enjoy, you can zoom all the way out 😉

if anything went wrong, just type in the old numbers and save

Thanks for the help, it works without root access too, tested it and working. it is not the maximum zoom state, but it is far better.

Old post, but i tried to install these programs mentioned, but i can not find that "benchmark.txt." file

Or find a way to further increase my zoom.

I am playing on Bluestacks version 3. So any help would be nice, to get this to work. If still possible :-)
