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....

I just updated my MacBook Pro. These are its specs:
MacBook Pro 13-inch, M1, 2020
macOS Ventura 13.4.1
Before updating my computer (this is the only thing I can think of that changed), my Sims 3 ran at kind of a small, chunky, incorrect resolution, but I didn't mind because it was playable. Now, it runs at way too high of a resolution for my computer (my computer's default is 1440x900 and Sims 3 is defaulting to 1920x1080), and it's so tiny it's unplayable. None of the screen size options in the options menu are correct (pictured). I remember having a lot more than these three before.
I looked online and tried all the advice I saw. I tried going into the options file in the documents and changing the resolution there, but every time I start the game after changing it, it reverts right back to 1920x1080 in the file! I also tried windowed mode, but that just makes it even tinier.
I really have no clue what to do, and nothing online is answering my questions!
@junimoworld I've merged your post with the master thread for this issue. You can try the suggestion in post 19 if you want.
I'd also like to say that your Mac's native resolution is actually 2560x1600. (This is true for every 13" M1 MacBook Pro.) 1440x900 is a supported scaled resolution that you might be using, but I guess the game sees the actual pixel count, not the effective resolution the system is imposing.
Thanks so much! I wonder why my Mac display settings say 1440x900 then haha that's confusing. Fingers crossed that solution works. Kind of a bummer that this issue has been happening to people for over a year now!
