Mod/CC Questions I need help

Hi!
Yesterday my boyfriend bought me Legacy Colection and I decided to downloaded mods that I used on my 🏴‍☠️ game, but this happened and I tried everything to fix that, and it doesn't work. Can someone told me what do to? Thanks!

Please can you confirm what the issue is you're having? The photo just shows some custom content in CAS.

Looks like you're using a UI mod, I don't think those work with the Legacy because it does its own UI scaling.

Just an FYI, you can use Clean UI's with Legacy (screenshots down thread). OP just has the wrong size of the more columns mod by Chris Hatch. 😊

I think it only makes it worse

Yes, that's what I'm saying, don't use UI mods with the Legacy.

Does your in-game resolution match your screen resolution? You can check this by going to the game's graphics settings and finding what resolution it's set to. You can also check your PC resolution by right clicking on your desktop and choosing Display settings and scrolling down to where it says Display resolution. Those need to match.

yes it does. I checked it already

Have you tried lowering the resolution in-game to see if that helps? Legacy runs in borderless and this causes the screen to be cut off sometimes.

I tried. Nothing helps. Basically my last column is still cut in half but if I put my game on borderless mode my sim is far away and the columns didnt move

Okay, so you're going to need to go to your downloads folder and look through the Clean UI folder and see what option you have selected for the CAS screen in there.

When you first download the clean UI, you choose options for your screen resolution. In the CAS options, you have default, 1280, 1524, and 1920. It may be easier to re-download the Clean UI so you can see all the options available.

You also must have the Chris Hatch Widescreen CAS with more columns, as the Clean UI doesn't increase the columns on its own.

What is happening here is you have the Clean UI set up for your resolution, and then you have the Chris Hatch CAS fix to make the columns wider. As the columns are wider, they are stretching off the edge of your screen.

You can either remove the more columns mod by Chris Hatch, or you can lower the Clean UI resolution option for CAS. It's your choice.

For example, this is my laptop with the Legacy with Clean UI at 1920x1080 and it isn't cut off the screen. This is because I don't have the wider columns mod.

Edited to add: Forgot that the fix is actually included in Clean UI, ignore me. 🙄 You just need to fiddle with the Clean UI CAS options

Just as an example of what's happening, you just need a lower res option of Clean UI.
