Re: Sims 4 stuck in windowed mode, impossible to apply changes to fullscreen option

@LeonorSabine

Launch the game and use the keyboard command to toggle between fullscreen and windowed - CTRL, CMD and F. What happens?

Hi,

I've tried this as well, but it either does nothing, or I get a "fake" full screen aka window resize, so I still encounter the same in game issues.

Hmm, weird. Are you hooked up to an external display and the settings may be causing it to now function in proper full screen?

Yes very weird.

No, I'm using my native laptop screen, nothing external.

My concern is the fact that the options panel in game refuses to apply this change, even after a full reinstall of the game. It doesn't make sense.

Are you playing a vanilla game or do you have any mods?

I play with zero mods and zero CC, 100% vanilla

@LeonorSabine heavy on the "fake full screen" it's so annoying because your computer shuts off if you walk away. If it opens up as full screen like it's suppose to it doesn't do this!
