@BlackjackWidow Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but I am trying to fix this issue on the Gamepass / EA Desktop installation of Simcity and haven't been able to find the Preferences.prop file. I found a Properties file in (C:\Program Files\EA Games\SimCity\SimCityData\Config) which contains the "property OptionUIZoomLevel" but the value next to it is "0x0e7422ce float"

@Jravelof If anyone stumbles into this, I finally found the Preferences.prop file in (C:\Users\**your user name here **\AppData\Roaming\SimCity\Preferences)

    I'm glad you were able to find the file, I'm not sure why you have it in the roaming folder, but if it works, that's great! Thanks for updating with this location.

    Happy building!

    Thank you so much!! I have the EA Desktop app too and couldn’t find the file all the Origin players were talking about. This finally made it work for me 🙂
