UI scale change?

[Raziel]

Hello,

is there any way to make the UI scale larger?
I'm playing at 1920x1080 and the icons and letters are very small and hard to see.

thanks.

Nope... unfortunately.
You could try downgrading to a lower 16:9 resolution but that's it.

to this instead:

OptionUIZoomLevel 2
This will basically make the UI twice as big. You can also use other values like 1.5, etc, but whole numbers like 2 work best (The UI is an HTML page so it works the same way as zooming to 200% in a web browser).

To find that file I think it's located in

SimCity\SimCityUserData\Preferences\Preferences.prop

sorry to say that this didn't work :/

my optionUIzoomlevel was already at 1.5 and setting it to 2 or 5 didn't change anything.

Yes, the instructions are for SimCity (2013), SC4 has no such option.

In theory all the UI elements are PNG files that could be modded, but I've yet to see anyone make the effort. I've just upgraded to WQHD (2560x1440) monitors and whilst the UI is small, for me it's still usable. If you are running the game in say 4k, for the moment you'll be stuck with this problem unless you use a lower resolution. The game wasn't designed to work past x1200 resolutions and you need to use a Wrapper to even make it run DirectX beyond such.

Worked like a charm, thank you kindly.
