    @emayg373 This fix isn't needed anymore. You should now find UI Scale in your game options inside the game.

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)

    Hi @TashaTophat

    it's a file, not a folder. You should have it on your mac as well, same place. Should be called options.ini
