Zoom/View on PC like in mobile

[william]

Hello!
My GF and I am in love with Stardew Valley...
She's play on mobile (iOS) and the zoom out is amazing, we can see a lot of the map on the phone.
But when I play on PC the zoom out is very smaller. I can't see too much things then she can on the phone.
The zoom bar in the settings is enabled and the zoom is set to mininum (to view a lot of things)...
Please can you help me? If helps I'll post two pics to compare.
Thank you!

I think you just can't zoom out that far on pc.

You can take a full screenshot in the settings if that helps a little.

Unfortunately it's just not possible to zoom out that far on PC. If you're interested in modding, there is a mod that allows zooming out further: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1326

And as Ereo mentioned, you can capture an image of your entire farm or other area if you're just trying to get an overview or plan things.

Ok, I'll try the mod. Could I be banned/VAC banned whit this? I think not, but I prefer to ask you specialists rsrsrs.

No, there's no server system or anything to be banned from in Stardew.

You can modify your save file by hand to change the zoom level.
You save file is here : C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley\Saves\[yourInGameName]_268948939 (this number also changes)
Search for "<zoomLevel>1</zoomLevel>" (the value 1 depends on your configuration, min is 0.75)
replace the number by the value of your choice (in your case, I think you want 0.5) : <zoomLevel>0.5</zoomLevel>

It also unfortunately depends on the resolution of your monitor - the same zoom level on PC will let you see more with a higher-resolution monitor. Hopefully the mod works out for you! And yeah, you won't be banned or anything - for one thing, there's no server or anything to be banned from, it's just on your computer. Also, CA is very supportive of mods - if I'm understanding correctly, he even released 1.5 early to some modders so they could update their mods before 1.5 came out.

I just tried this and it totally works, set mine to 0.6 as I play at 2560x1440 so I'm practically cheating already. The Bus Stop is a square in a sea of black. BTW if you started a new save in v1.5, the individual save folder now uses your Farm name instead of your Farmer's name, which is helpful for me as all my farmers are Bobbi but my Farms have different names. New one is Beachy Keen.

Edit: While you can play at this view scale, it seems the game's pixel graphics on PC are optimized for 75% minimum scale as there's some shimmering along straight lines at 60% which isn't there at all at 75%. It's not bad but does bug me a bit so I'm back to 75%.
