Hi I have the sims 4 console for Xbox one and am wondering if there is a way to change the uiscale. I posted this question on a different site but someone sugessted that I tried here. I would love any info on this matter. Thank you!

Hi everyone,
@bresteele, while some players do it on PC, this is not an option on the game itself. But I do understand what you meant now.
As explained by @vyvexthorne, there's not an option to change the scale of the interface. What I can and will do is send this as feedback for the team so they know there's an interest on this feature. Could you let us know how's your monitor and which console are you using (model)?
Thanks!

Hi @bresteele,
Welcome to Answers HQ!
I'm not sure I understand exactly what you want to do, but could you check if this helps?: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Consoles/Sims-4-screen-to-big/m-p/6428153/highlight/true#...
If not, please, any more details of what's the problem might help us understand

Unfortunately there is currently no way to control the scale of the UI. You can adjust it to fit your screen but it doesn't change how big or small it is.. I've seen this topic on the reddit forums as well. It seems to be a trend in games recently where they seem to believe everyone has a very large t.v. or sits only an inch away from the t.v. screen. I have a 40 inch t.v. and sit about 10 feet away from it.. I've had a lot of trouble in some games just reading subtitles. The sims 4 is ok for me (I sometimes have trouble reading what time it is.) but I could easily see how troublesome it could be on a smaller t.v. set. A slider that controlled some of the UI elements to make them larger would definitely help. Maybe just something that toggled a larger font.

A major problem with a lot of games these days. They expect everyone to have a massive t.v. because of 4k. If you have a t.v. that's under 40 inches and sit more than 2 feet away, expect to have a large problem reading the text for a great many games. Santa brought me a massive t.v. just because of this exact problem. I couldn't read the subtitles on a bunch of games and the problem just kept getting worse. ( the goofy thing about Santa is for some reason he still needed to use my money to give me a t.v. .. such a cheapskate man.)

I was told to submit an inaccessibility report. Have you submitted one? Maybe it'll make a difference. I ended up with a severe migraine from sitting close to my tv to compensate for the size. My tv is 52" and maybe 7' away. Size shouldn't be an issue
