Sims icons shrank

I have a household of 4 sims. One of them recently had a baby and as soon as she was born, the icons on the control panel at the bottom of the screen shrank considerably. Is this normal? I've never had this happen before.

    I find the icons too small when I play on 2K. Don't you think it is hard playing with that resolution?
  • I've seen the shrinking too. For me, it happens with a full household. So yeah, I would say it's normal and probably has something to do with your resolution like others are saying.
  • Yeah this has happened to me to since the last patch. It used to happen only with full households of 7/8 but my current household shrunk at 5. I might fiddle around with the screen res if that's what's causing it/will change it back. It's not a huge issue but I would prefer them to be normal sized if possible.

    I do play the game on a huge monitor so it's less of an issue for me, but you can always change the value of "uiscale" in "Options.ini" if you think the UI is too small.
  • This happened to me when I got an eighth member of one of my households. It pops back to normal sized icons if I drop to seven in the household. I do not like the tiny icons. :(
  • I have a family of 7 and when I came back from the hospital they had all shrunk ?
