Sims 4 screen is too large on my console tv screen

Sims 4 screen is too large on my tv screen. I’m playing on console, not PC. And all the answers for this problem I’ve found are only for PC):

  • On xbox, go to the settings menu, under the "other" option there's a big button called "adjust margins" click that to adjust the size of your screen.  On ps4 you have to adjust the screen size in your ps4 settings. (Settings / Sound and Screen / Display Area Settings)

    Appreciate the response and trying to help! (: the only thing is I can’t seem to find the “other” option. I pressed home, went to settings, couldn’t find it. Then I pressed settings and I still can’t find the “other” option/:

    In the Sims 4 go to game options then click other and go to adjust margins
  • If you are on PlayStation 4, go to the console dashboard then the following:

    Settings > Sound and Screen > Display Area Settings

    Sony handles the screen sizes through console settings while Microsoft do it in the game through the option menu mentioned by others in the thread.

    how do you go to settings though?
  • I've tried that but it still doesn't work. I still have the same issue where I can see half of my toolbar. What else can I do
