The Sims 4 in Fullscreen

    Hello,

    I would perhaps try the game at medium settings at 1920x1080 and see if the graphics are bearable enough to play the game. If not, I guess you'll have to stick with the Windows resolution switching.

    This issue may also be related to the fact you're using Bootcamp, as this can cause weird Windows quirks. I'd perhaps try the Mac version (free if you already own the PC version) when it comes out on 17th February 2015, and see whether you can get better performance at all.

    I hope this helps and keep simming,

Sure, I play in a Late-2013 iMac, using BootCamp, the system specs are:

Intel Core i5-3330S

16 GB of RAM

Nvidia GeForce GT 640M

100GB of free space in the BootCamp partition

Now I'm playing with game settings at High, with antialiasing at Low (I'm used to have antialiasing turned off, my old computer was so bad lol) with great results (in a 1366x768 resolution)

    Thank you! I tried at 1920x1080 and I set the "3D scene resolution" to Medium and the game runs smoothly. I also deactivated Post Processing Effects (I hate the distant blur of the game) and game runs nicely!

    I'll try the Mac version, hope they did a better job than TS3 on Mac! 😕mileytongue:

    Thank you again and happy Simming!
