so I just had that same issue, and I have an external screen but I unchecked the "Retina display' in sims settings and it appears to work as of now
This is long but I just want to be detailed. I have both the sims 4 and the sims 3 on my mac. After the latest sims 4 patch came out, I decided to play the sims 3 because sims 4 had a lot of bugs. Today, I went back to playing sims 4 and the resolution is stuck on my sims 3 resolution. I can change the resolution in windowed mode, but when I switch to fullscreen, it doesn't even give me the option to change it, the resolution option is just blank. It's really annoying and causes my UI to be super zoomed in. I tried changing my UI to be smaller, but the cursor is still really big and hard to play with. I've tried restarting my computer and alternating between windowed and fullscreen to see if it allowed me to change the resolution. I don't want to play in windowed mode forever. Is this a problem with the new patch or from playing sims 3? Help?
Please can you provide more information about your Mac. Instructions on how to do so and what to provide here - http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612396/highlight/true#M162
Sure
Version- 12.6.2
Mac mini- (M1, 2020)
Chip- Apple M1
Memory- 8GB
Startup disk- Macintosh HD
Also, my monitor is a Sceptre F27 and uses 1920 x 1080 resolution.
I'm playing the normal version of sims 4 and have the 64-bit & metal version of the sims 3. I have cc in both games. I'll try removing it and see if it does anything.
EDIT: I tried removing all my cc, it didn't do anything. I tried editing the resolution in the options.ini file, but the changes just reverted when I launched the game. And removing the options.ini file from my sims 4 files to create a new one. Nothing worked.
