Hi everyone.

After a few years of being away from SC4 I have decided to get back into the game and try to stay organised.

I have only a minimum "essential" plugin folder at the moment and due to age and failing eyesight I have included the FontSize plugin which I find makes things easier for me.  In my ideal world I am looking for a font size somewhere between vanilla and FontSize.  The FontSize description states that one can easily change the size of the font with the Reader...great.  Unfortunately I have absolutely no experience with the reader/editing DAT files...can anyone point me in the direction of a "Reader Guide For Old Blind People" or something similar...*:D

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the two main linkys for getting started yourself:

  1. iLive - Reader 0.9.3
  2. The Reader, Beginners Guide

Btw, CB and I've tweaked the sizes to be about midway between the Maxis defaults and those set in that mod. Ofc, the panels and boxes and such were all made with the smaller sizes in mind so even chopping these down means they overflow the boundaries in many places. I did reduce the in city date so all 4 digits of the year will fit.

It's still far from ideal, but here's an altered version you can try: FontSizeMedium_v0.2.dat

(Be sure to remove the other one.)

    Thank you so much for your response CorinaMarie.  The altered version by yourself and CB is much better for me.  I have downloaded the ILive Reader and Beginners Guide and will be reading/studying this in a couple of hours time.

    Again, many thanks to you and everyone else in this community.
