The tiny control tooltips introduced in the June patch would be helpful... If I could read them!
I'm vision impaired, the small text present in the new control tooltips, the notification pop-ups and other areas of the game are too small. Trying to read it results in eye strain and headaches, which is the last thing a vision impaired player wants.
I was hoping console would've gotten UI scaling by now. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't PC get UI scaling with an update months ago.
Looks like I'm turning the new control tooltips off, a shame as it is a good idea.

I'm glad you have the opportunity to play the PC version. I'm a PS4 simmer, I was hoping the recent update added UI scaling because when the control tooltips were first shown off, I was confused to how on earth the devs working on the display thought that font size was okay to use as console players aren't as close to the screen as PC players are to a monitor.
I sit very close to my TV and I still can't read it. I'm aleady ignoring the notification pop-ups and moodlet descriptions ingame aleady. Ui scaling would mean less eye strain, less headaches and more enjoyment overall.
I’m really glad of the port over to consoles as I missed this series very much when I switched from PC games to console games back during TS3, but some improvements in the UI could definitely be made. That they updated anything at all just for us bodes well - maybe things are looking up as this week we get a same-day release of major content? Perhaps it’s a test of the console market share. I hope it goes well, and that things for console players will continue to improve.
This still hasn't happened which is a shame. It's so frustrating that none of the console simgurus are on twitter anymore so we have noone to ask. I'm still hoping they add this and also make the graphics on next Gen consoles look like it does in pc ultra settings.
Console players really do get the short end of the stick. The thing is, I enjoy playing The Sims 4.
You know what'd be great? If I could play without getting stressed over trying to read the tiny notification text. Sure I don't have to read them, or the moodlet flavour text, or the various other tooltips and pop-ups. But I feel like I'm missing out on a good chunk of the game by ignoring them.
I agree. This is another reason why it's so frustrating that the console gurus aren't on twitter like I said before. We can't even ask anyone.
There are people posting about it over the EA bug report forums still, about being able to not even play the game and having to stand directly in front of their TV's to read anything. And nothing, not even a "we're working on it" response. This is a feature PC has had for over two years now and people think console is up to date with PC?
Are we ever getting UI scaling? Console players genuinely need this feature as the text is hard to read, I've gotten headaches while playing, people have posted about being unable to read UI elements and dropping the game as a result. many of us buy the console version to play on our TV's, or because we don't have a PC that can run it, or those of us that prefer console gaming...
Please, we really need UI scaling on PS and Xbox.
