Console Version UI Scaling?

The tiny control tooltips introduced in the June patch would be helpful... If I could read them!

I'm vision impaired, the small text present in the new control tooltips, the notification pop-ups and other areas of the game are too small. Trying to read it results in eye strain and headaches, which is the last thing a vision impaired player wants.

I was hoping console would've gotten UI scaling by now. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't PC get UI scaling with an update months ago.

Looks like I'm turning the new control tooltips off, a shame as it is a good idea.

    I'm visually impaired as well. I play on Xbox and PC. PC did get a UI scaling update several months ago. I asked about it for consoles and was told that they are working on it. I'm going to ask again to see if we're still getting it on console as well. It's made playing on PC so much easier and I'd like the same experience on Xbox.


    This still hasn't happened which is a shame. It's so frustrating that none of the console simgurus are on twitter anymore so we have noone to ask. I'm still hoping they add this and also make the graphics on next Gen consoles look like it does in pc ultra settings.

    Over a year after I originally posted and still nothing? Did the devs forget about the feature?

    Console players really do get the short end of the stick. The thing is, I enjoy playing The Sims 4.

    You know what'd be great? If I could play without getting stressed over trying to read the tiny notification text. Sure I don't have to read them, or the moodlet flavour text, or the various other tooltips and pop-ups. But I feel like I'm missing out on a good chunk of the game by ignoring them.


    I agree. This is another reason why it's so frustrating that the console gurus aren't on twitter like I said before. We can't even ask anyone.

    And bumping this because it is 2022 and still no UI scaling for console.

    There are people posting about it over the EA bug report forums still, about being able to not even play the game and having to stand directly in front of their TV's to read anything. And nothing, not even a "we're working on it" response. This is a feature PC has had for over two years now and people think console is up to date with PC?
