HELP: The Sims 1 (Legacy) tiny writing/bar

I bought and downloaded the legacy pack. SO EXCITED for the blast from the past :-) 

BUT... The bar at the bottom and the writing on it is so tiny and hard to read. The bar with all the sim info for example takes up less than half the width of the entire screen, and my screen isn't that bag. I can find no way to change the screen size in-game. Please help!

  • Hi, try changing the screen scale and resolution in your computer display settings! Hope this helps

  • same here!  I'm so excited. I've been wanting to play it again for so long... I played when it first came out and now just I have to remember all the cheat code from back then.  I remember one.   Rosebud ; ; then hold down the enter key and your sims money goes up, more then a thousand. I end up with 9999999 when I'm done..

  • Changing the screen resolution to 800 x 600 fixed it HURRAH! Thank you :-)

    How do you change the settings? If you change the screen resolution does that change it for everything or is there an option to change it just for the sims? Because when I went into my screen resolution settings it came up with some kinda warning saying I shouldn't change it because it'll mess other things up?
