Sims 3 64 Bit Mac - UI/Resolution too small
Hello, I have played Sims 3 on my Mac with no problems up until now (I play on the 64 bit metal version via origin) I launched it today and the UI size is far too small- as shown in the attachments....

@puzzlezaddict It is strange indeed. As I say, I've played this for a while with no problems and all of a sudden this happens.
My display makes no difference unfortunately. I also tried with a new user account and the same occurred.
I'm wondering if it's something to do with the recent software update I did on my Mac? But surely this wouldn't change the settings on a game. Running out of options here. I also just tried uninstalling the game completely and installing it again, but the same results again, which is incredibly annoying.

@sophiemonz It's certainly possible that the OS update you installed is causing this issue, but I'd expect to see more reports than just this one. I haven't updated in a while (and I should probably do that), so I can't compare either.
The only thing I can suggest is choosing the lower resolution available, then quitting and restarting the game. Sometimes this forces a resizing of the game window that works out a lot better than what you see immediately after changing the settings.
- @puzzlezaddict Unfortunately still no luck when trying with the lower resolution.
I can carry on for now, but just means it's not as comfortable playing and I have to do a lot of squinting to see features in the game! I hope EA pick up on this if it is to do with the software update. If anything changes, I'll be sure to update this thread.
Thank you for your help though, you have provided more suggestions than EA live chat did.I've only had this issue since updating my Mac software too :/
@Jangobunny Interesting. I'll ask around to see whether other people are having the same issue. And to be clear, this happened after you installed Monterey 12.4? What OS were you running before? If you're not sure the exact version, just let me know whether it was Monterey or an older OS.
