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....

@Maridemi7, it looks as though the same path, "/Users/mari/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3", has been used for both the installation and the user-data folder of The Sims 3. The path for the installation should be the folder that contains the game's executable, e.g. on Windows the default would be "C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3", whereas on macOS it could be "~/Applications/Sims3Launcher.app/Contents/Resources/The Sims 3.app".
Thank you!
I am a Mac user, and it seems that I don't have the sims game in my applications, only origin shows up there. The only place I can see a sims 3 executable is in the launchpad, but I am not sure if I can get a path for that☹️
Any help is appreciated!!!
@Maridemi7, yeah—sorry about that, there are multiple places that the game can be installed to, by default, on macOS, and the script isn't very good at finding that place.
These are the six paths, that I know of, that the game can be located at on macOS:
/Users/YOUR_USERNAME_HERE/Applications/Sims3Launcher.app/Contents/Resources/The Sims 3.app /Users/YOUR_USERNAME_HERE/Applications/The Sims 3.app/Contents/Resources/The Sims 3.app /Users/YOUR_USERNAME_HERE/Applications/The Sims 3.app /Applications/Sims3Launcher.app/Contents/Resources/The Sims 3.app /Applications/The Sims 3.app/Contents/Resources/The Sims 3.app /Applications/The Sims 3.app
Failing that, apparently it's possible to get the path of a running application via the "Activity Monitor"—for that, see: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/407366
