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

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!

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.

I tried to look for the document but found nothing but more folders in the Sims 4 folder,

Is it in one of the folders?

Thanks!

Hi @Kingfishergal 

it should be directly in thesims4 folders in documents. The file is either called options.ini or just options depending on your Windows settings.

Could you maybe post a a screenshot of how your folders look ?

I have found the document, thanks for your help!

I’m having the same problem. I have been clicking on the sims and then going to options.ini. I’ve changed the uiscale multiple times to different numbers but it’s still not working. 

I’ve changed it to 100,50,150, and 200 and it makes no difference

Hi @KBara62 

I meant the resolution of the game itself.

Are you playing at 4K ?

Hi, I'm having the same issue with finding it, where was it that you found the file in the end? Thanks 

Sorry that was meant to reply to a specific comment in the thread 😅

Basically my screen has somehow shrunk both the start up menu and in game, I can't seem to find the options file in the sims 4 folder after following your directions, I can seem to find it anywhere

Please help, thank you!
