1080p UI Scale Size Still Needs Addressing...

With the new update comes the ability to change the resolution. This is a great addition and all, but sadly the UI size for 1080p users is still tiny, as seen in this screenshot attached.

I understand some might suggest lowering the resolution to address the issue, but that really shouldn't be the ideal solution.

Not to mention that lowering your intended resolution can result in multiple issues that people on the forums and the Discord Server have pointed out like jagged lines, bad anti-aliasing, and a blurry, ugly render. Those people deserve credit because I am not alone in this.

We paid for this game, we have a right to play it in our intended native resolution and to play it with the correct UI size just like everyone else is.

Please fix it.

Until this is resolved, I plan to only play The Sims 1 Legacy on my Steam Deck so I can enjoy the game with the intended size.

  • 1080P users shouldn't have to lower their resolution while others on 4k monitors can play it just fine with everything scaled correctly.

    Yep. I'm on 1920 x 1080p, and I still have the tiny UI. Alt + Enter is also still not working, all it's doing for me is toggling windowed mode. I don't understand why EA keeps leaving this glaring issue in each patch update. They also had the nerve to lock all the previous threads documenting the issue because "it has been fixed," when it very clearly hasn't. 

    The highest resolution I can lower to that keeps the UI at a proper size is 1366 x 768, and I hate how it looks. The character models look jagged. I'm gonna have to keep sticking to The Sims 2 until they fix this, because I shouldn't have to play like this.
