I haven't played The Sims 3 in ages.
I downloaded just the base game today, but I am on an entirely different computer set up. My monitor is 5120x1440, but I have the game at an ultrawide 21:9 ratio. It looks good but the UI is tiny. That's going to give me serious eye-strain. There is a UI fix on Modthesims, but it looks a bit involved and I am wondering if I should bother with this rabbit hole of getting the Sims 3 into shape, or sticking with The Sims 4. 😛
Hey ck213 ... I run my Sims 3 at 1920x1080 resolution (16:9 ratio) and you can change your resolutions in Options. I also cannot give you any advice regarding Sims 4, because I have never owned it, and never will. 😆
I have a serious gaming rig and have tried pushing a higher resolution/ratio, but it starts to affect the gameplay. I think it is because Sims 3 is an older game, and when you have certain EP's (like Seasons and Pets) running, I am not sure if the game can effectively push the graphics no matter what your rig can handle, but I am no tech whiz either.
Good luck with getting your game set where you want it and hope you can get back into Sims 3 ... Looking forward to whatever you want to share, and it's great seeing you around here.
Happy Simming ... 💖
