For other operating-systems, or if you're familiar with PowerShell, download tiny-ui-fix-for-ts3.zip.

Changes in this release

• The Tiny UI Fix no longer conflicts with the usage of CC Magic—the script now has the ability to edit the settings of CC Magic to ensure that the package generated by the Tiny UI Fix is always loaded.
  And, Resource.cfg files that have been edited by CC Magic can now be correctly processed by the Tiny UI Fix; see the next entry of this list for more detail on that.
• Evaluation of Resource.cfg files is now more accurate to how the game processes such files.
  Previously, only the Priority and PackedFile directives were recognised, and only a subset of their possible usage was recognised. With this update, the Priority, PackedFile, DirectoryFiles, Scan, and StopScan directives are recognised; additionally, quoted directive operands are now recognised, as are directives with comma-separated arguments following their operands. Nested Resource.cfg files that are implicitly referenced via a PackedFile or DirectoryFiles directive are also evaluated.
• Use-TinyUIFixForTS3.ps1 now has two parameters which can be used to override the paths for the installation of The Sims 3 that's being patched, they are: OverrideSims3Path and OverrideSims3UserDataPath. The primary purpose of these parameters is to enable non-interactive usage of the script on platforms other than Windows and macOS.
• The game's text can now be scaled independently of the game's UI. (As suggested by u/U_Cam_Sim_It on Reddit).
