Sims 4 Icons - No Shrinking Size?
Ever since I got my new computer, which has been a few years, whenever I reach a household of 6 sims or more, the icons in the bottom left (where you click to visit the sim & their needs) shrink by a...

15 inch :P
Well, if you are gonna buy a laptop, I would recommend 17, if it's not a home-laptop (you aren't gonna bring it outside the house that much), then I might go for a 19-inch.
If you have a stationary computer, I think 19 is enough to make sure the icons doesn't shrink (17 might be but not as sure, but a lot of people play on laptop so it might be fine).
For your own gaming-experience though I would recommend 21 or 24 for a stationary computer.
But then also make sure that the screen allows the game to run in even higher resolution, something like 1920x1080. 🙂
@CMeki& @PeanutShell1016 , I have a 19 inch monitor on my stationary computer but my icons still shrink when I have a lot of Sims as members of my household. But my resolution is 1366 x768 , so that might be the difference. ( I just thought everyones' icons shrank when a certain number of household members were created or added to your current household.) 😉
I just tested the game on my sisters 17 inch laptop, and with 1920x1080 resolution the icons did not shrink! 🙂
@CMeki, & @PeanutShell1016 , since CMeki's sister's laptop has a smaller screen but better resolution than mine, it looks like resolution is what determines icon size! 😉 Thanks for the input! 🙂
- Thanks, but do you have an idea of how to check how high the resolution will go? Like, what type of laptop will I need to get the 1920x1080? 🙂
- Practically all will support this low a resolution.
Resolution is always specified when you look a t technical details.This for example is the computer my sister uses: http://store.hp.com/us/en/pdp/hp-envy-laptop-%28156%29-w0q65av-1
If you click specs you can see the highest resolution available for the different displays you can use.
But like @jpkarlsen said, if you buy a new computer, and then I mean new like newly released, not just an unused one, they're usually have that resolution or better.
