Description:
This Mod is not maintained anymore

There will be no more changes to this mod. If you wish to continue to develop this mod, please fork the source code and send me a message, and I will link to the new version.

ScaleUI adds buttons to scale / resize the complete user interface in Cities: Skylines.

Usage

Activate the mod, load or start a new game (editors not yet supported/tested), then click the new buttons in the top right corner to change the scale. If you use Mod Corral, the buttons will be there.

To reset the scale to default values, hit Ctrl+0.

Known issues

This method only works to a certain scale, after which elements will overlap or be out of screen. In that case, either reset the scale or hit the (-) button to decrease it a step. If a reset doesn’t work, quicksave your game with F1 and exit with Alt+F4.

The scaling value is not saved permanently, only when you load a savegame while in a city.

If you use other mods which add UI elements, this mod will probably reposition them off-screen.

You might need to re-subscribe to the mod to have the game recognize the latest version (1.2).

Please report any issues you find.

Changelog

1.1:
* Removed unnecessary space in policies panel so it resizes better.

1.2:
* Added support for scaling < 1. Once you decrease the scale to smaller than default, the mod will change how much is rendered on screen. This is the same as using free camera mode. Therefore you can expect a tiny drop in FPS. For default scaling and bigger, the mod does not change how much of the game is rendered.

* Added support for Mod Corral. Right now, the buttons are not removed correctly, but it still works.

* Code cleanup
