Screen zoomed in and reduced to 1/4 size

I just downloaded sims 4 on my macbook air and had no issues downloading it. When i click to play it starts up normally but when it gets to the main menu the screen goes from full screen to 1/4 size in the bottom left hand corner with the rest of the screen being black. I can only access the buttons by going to the spaces above in top left hand corner of the screen which is black and clicking on where the below buttons would be if the screen was in that above left hand space. It also causes the available screen area to be zoomed in so I only can access a small portion of the options. Even going back to my desktop all the icons and other open screens are zoomed in too, only going back to normal when I get out of the game. I know this sounds confusing but I can't find anything on any forum that is remotely similar to this. Help?

    You could also try opening the game in windowed mode - Right click on the Options.ini file in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 and choose TextEdit to open it with. Once opened, where it says fullscreen = 1, change the 1 to 0. Save if prompted.
