my sims needs bar and options menu is too small to read

Try this

1. Open the following file in a text editor: documents\electronicarts\thesims4\options(.ini)
2. Find the link uiscale = 
3. If the value is not 100, change it to 100
4. If it is 100, change it to something smaller (or bigger, unsure what)

Thank you! It worked and was easy to do, thank goodness. Very much appreciated! (It's down. I changed it from 100 to 50.) Thanks again!

Jess

Thanks 😃

Thank you so much!!! Just got a new computer and the game proportions were all out of whack. 70 did it for me!

Im having the same problem and I have taken the steps to solve it but as soon as I found the document labeled options.ini, it says I have no application to open it.  what do I do?

Rightclick | Open with select notepad.

i did that but i changed it to 150 then saved the changes then closed sims 4 then restarted my laptop only to launch the sims again with the exact same problem. i go back to the file’s notepad where the scale says 150 and i change it to 200. i follow what i did earlier and it’s still the same. please help.
