Hello everyone,

I have been playing Sims 4 on a higher resolution for some time now. I have noticed that both the intro video and the main menu of The Sims 4 are unfortunately not adapted to this resolution. Many individual graphic icons are only displayed pixelated. For example, the graphics of the current household, but also many icons.

I think that more and more players are now switching to higher-resolution monitors and it might be time to adjust the graphics.

Workaround:
It is possible to adjust the "ThumbnailConfig.ini" yourself by adjusting the [SimBust] entry and changing the size for Size_Small from 64,64 to 256,256. However, this change is unfortunately overwritten with every major update. In addition, the remaining menu icons are unfortunately also in a lower resolution. The round corners of the individual menu items are also blurred.

I am currently playing the game in a resolution of: 2,560x1,440. with the highest graphic settings.

It would be kind if this problem could be addressed. It would also be nice to have a higher resolution intro, as this also looks very pixelated.
