Summary

Hey everyone. I have a question that google can't seem to help me find the answer to You see, I'm making my vier first RPG maker game using MV and I have a mechanic where the player can cast a spell to make themselves 4 times smaller. (allows them to fit through tiny holes and what not) But here's the thing. I don't want to shrink down my character's walking sprite. Instead I want to scale the world's tiles UP.  Here's an example:

But here's the thing. I don't want to shrink down my character's walking sprite. Instead I want to scale the world's tiles UP. 


Here's an example:
The bed tileset consists of 2 tiles normally. One top tile for the top of the bed, and one bottom tile for the bottom. It is 1x2 (one across, two down)


If I had my way, I would put the tilesheet into photoshop and scale it up by 400% and paste it back in. Hypothetically that would make the same bed a little pixelated of course, but also that bed would now be 4x8 (the top being 4 tiles across and the bed going 8 tiles down)


Problem is when I try this, going into the tile selection tab, most of the tiles are cut off and I can only see the first two objects on the page...does anyone have any ideas for me?
