Disable "Reset Scaling" Pop-Up

Question

After four years, I think I'm on my last nerve with this pop-up.

I like my UI scaled to be big, as in "the slider is in the red and the game does not like that" type of big. That is where I want it to be, I don't want it smaller, I want it exactly where I put it. That being said, EVERY single time the game opens or the window is readjusted, the game throws this pop-up in my face asking if I want to reset the scaling:

I have never wanted to reset my scaling because I have it set exactly where I want it.

Maxis, I am BEGGING to have an option to turn off this pop-up. A third button saying "Don't Show This Again" on the pop-up itself or a checkbox in the UI scale setting to disable the pop-up would be PERFECT.

I know it's such a small thing and I can just click "Keep Current Settings" to make it go away, but after four years of it, it's gotten very irritating and I just want it to be completely gone since I will not be changing my UI's scale.

There aren't any mods that remove the pop-up, so I figured asking for a feature to disable it is my best shot, even if this gets nowhere.

Please Maxis, can this request be fulfilled?

@jpkarlsenThat doesn't make a difference, the pop-up still shows up upon launching the game and going back to the main menu in fullscreen mode. Even if the pop-up would stop showing up in fullscreen, I much prefer windowed mode because I have access to my taskbar and easy access to the rest of my desktop. Fullscreen just isn't my cup of tea.

@jpkarlsenI just simply prefer having a largely scaled UI, it doesn't have anything to do with resolution. Yes I am aware that pressing the Windows button gives instant access to my taskbar (and Alt+Tabbing), but being able to look down without having to press a button to see the time and any apps with notifications (such as Discord) is something I do not wish to change. My eyesight for things up-close (such as for monitors) is very excellent, as I've stated already I just like having a big UI.I appreciate the ideas and help, but the only thing I'm looking for is the ability to choose disabling that pop-up, as nothing else will suffice for me. That's why I posted this in the feedback and ideas section.

My resolution is 1440p and with the UI scaled to this size, it really doesn't cover the play area:

I do hope Maxis adds in a toggle for the pop-up, because they did implement a toggle for the mod list that pops up upon launching the game. Though I understand more people play with mods than they do with a large UI, but I'll still hold out hope for this.

@MidniteTheDSiXL I don't think I've ever used the settings outside the recommended range, however, I do agree that the warning on the settings page is plenty. I don't think you need to be reminded every single time you launch the game. Hopefully this is a simple fix that they can implement for you and any others who like their scaling outside the recommended range!

@MidniteTheDSiXL&nbsp;Have you considered playing in Fullscreen instead of windowed?&nbsp;
