The Sims 4 offers 3 video resolutions: Small (320×240), Medium (640×480) and Large (1024×768). There is one problem though: none of these Video sizes are not recognizable as High Definition.
To make your video files bigger, you’ll need to adjust a small detail in The Sims 4’s Game Files.
To edit your video size, open the folder where you install your Origin Games and then go to The Sims 4 > Game > Bin > res. In the ”res” folder, you’ll have to open a configuration setting file called ”VideoRecording”.
To make a video larger, simply rename the ”Large =” section from 1024 to any bigger resolution you want.
After your’re done with editing, go to File and select Save.
Here’s a tip: if you plan to The Sims 4 Videos on YouTube, it’s recommended that you set the resolution to 1280 (1280×720 – 720p) or 1920 (1920×1080 – 1080p).

I cannot find the “Game” folder in my Sims 4 files. The only things I have are as follows:
cache, cachestr, Custom Music, lotcacheddata, Mods, Recorded Videos, SavedSimInfoData, saves, Screenshots, Tray, VideoCameraStates, Config, GameVersion, localthumbcache.package, notify.glob, Options, ReticulatedSplines, ReticulatedSplinesView, UserData.lock, UserSetting. How can I find the right folders to adjust the resolution of video capture?

[VideoRecording]
LowQuality = video:vp6, audio:adpcm, fps:10.0, bitrate:1000
MediumQuality = video:vp6, audio:adpcm, fps:15.0, bitrate:2000
HighQuality = video:vp6, audio:adpcm, fps:60.0, bitrate:5000
MaxQuality = video:rgb24, audio:pcm, fps:60.0, bitrate:0
Small = 320, 0
Medium = 640, 0
Large = 1920, 0

Took me forever to figure it out!!! Go to your app folder and find sims 4 and then right click and click show package contents… then contents… then res and then video recording… you can’t open it though so you have to go to the App Store and download text editor
Reply to Pixie plumbob
actually you should have a text editor already in your app, you shouldn’t have to download one
