Simcity - All Icons, Text Windows and Text too small

Hi All

Current Environment:  Windows 10, Simcity, running at 3840 x 2160p, all other games from EA plus Origin and other companies games work fine, resolution and game play all work fine. Both PC and Simcity resolution match at 3840 x 2160p and no other games requre any resolution changes on the PC itself.

Problem:

The game landscape looks fine but all Icons, Text Boxes and Text are so small you need to move within a foot of the screen which is a 4K, 65"screen and therefore almost impossible to read clearly as it is just too small relative to the rest of the game.

Looking for the solution to increase the size of text and icons to make the game playable from a resonable distance from the screen. Changing the resolution just changes the size of the display segment and thefore full screen is not possible.

    Jravelof​  Hi, just wanted to drop a thanks here coz your tips just saved my day, for some strange reasons my AppData folder was hidden in my Windows so I had been going to the wrong prop file. Not until I saw your post and raised my suspicion to search all the Preferences.prop files in my harddrive and I found it. Really weird but it works like a charm now. Thanks! 👌
