It's too small

Having the same problem.

You can follow this guide : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3418226572

- Library Steam > Right click on The Sims Legacy > Properties
- In Lauch Options, add this : -w -r2560x1440

- Once in game, press [Alt] + [Enter] to make the game bigger


** If you play in 1080p, add instead : -w -r1920x1080

Bugger, launch options didn’t work for me sadly. Made it windowed, but after alt enter; everything’s still very small and spaced out. Such a shame.

Thank you but if this is the only way to fix it I'll just refund the game. I don't think they deserve any money for this

Having the same issue as Monkey Man. Tried Alt-Enter and changing resolution in properties, but it doesn't do anything but change it from full screen to windowed with the same resolution as it was to start with.

Same issue as Monkey Man and SlingnSharks.
Adding resolution settings in the steam properties field does nothing to the resolution, and alt-enter simply changes the game from windowed to non-windowed (with no change to the resolution).
This works for the Sims 2 Legacy but not here for Sims 1.

Two months on and still broken. EA needs to fix this asap. I'm so angry about this.

im pretty sure they updated sims 1-2 to be borderless window mode and doing so messed the res up for me i had to boot the game up then find a household and then when i can access the settings i changed the resolution in there to my monitors resolution to fix the issues

Folks! I found the workaround! It was hidden in the patch notes:

1) Press ctrl+shift+c to open the cheat input bar

2) Type in "uintProp uiScaleFactor" followed by a space and then the number 1, 2, or 3.

The game defaults at 2. 1 is the highest resolution, and 3 is a 1280x800 resolution. You can also make the game open this "persistantly" by going to the “Graphics Rules.sgr” file. The pathing they suggest if you downloaded from EA proper is “The Sims 2 Legacy Collection\EP9\TSData\Res\Config" and they mention as a note in the note that the file location may change depending on which storefront you purchased the game from.

This is Sims 1 forum, not sims 2.

Actually I'm glad you posted that, as I wasn't aware of those console commands for TS2 - thanks!
