Screen scale problem with sims 4 on MacBook Pro M1

Hi,

I recently started playing the sims 4 on my

MacBook Pro M1 and when I come back to my Home Screen everything is like scaled up and for now the only way I found to have it back to normal is to turn off my Mackbook and then turn it on but I can't do that every time I play.

Anyone has the same issue and found a way to have solve it ?

Here are dôme pictural with the one showing my screen when I open the sims and the other one with how my screen is supposed to look.

    I think they are on default mode cause I’ve never changed those. Yes the dock doesn’t change everything else on the screen does, even the top where the date and hour is.

    This is my display settings but I’m not sure the problem comes from my settings but more in the origin or sims app or maybe something in the options there cause I only have that problem when I start playing to the sims 4.

    Checking your settings are the default ones means we can discount that as the issue. This is the Mac tech forum so we're checking the machine isn't causing the problem 🙂

    Are you using a secondary display hooked up to your Mac?

    Are you playing in fullscreen mode? Does the same thing happen in Windowed mode?

    I’m only using my Mac, no other display hooked up. Yes I’m playing in fullscreen mode but it doesn’t change anything if I play in windowed mode because the problem happens as soon as I open the game.

    It shouldn't happen in Windowed mode as the Mac doesn't flick to a secondary desktop screen. Could you take a screenshot of the game in a window and post it here?

    Yes I just tried and you’re right it doesn’t happen in windowed mode so does that mean I can never play in full screen in order to keep my screen normal ?
