System needs an Update
So, you can’t actually tell if you’ve been banned or just temporarily suspended from the forum. They send the email to your inbox - which you can’t see because you’re banned. I beg, let there be a way to monitor your status or inbox. It’s no use seeing it after the fact. I’m worried even this much might have it happen again.73Views0likes6CommentsStaying logged in
I'm on PC, using Chrome, every time I come to the forums I have to sign in, as soon as I close the tab I am logged out, I may come back times a day or night, why can I not simply stay logged in ? The only way for me to actually stay logged in so i don't have to keep signing in is the leave a tab open all day & night.SixBlackRavens2 days agoNew Hotshot17Views0likes3CommentsSkipped ranks
My forum rank recently went from Seasoned hotshot to Seasoned veteran without the intermediate ranks of New veteran and Rising veteran. I assume that’s not intentional because I see some accounts with those ranks that I apparently skipped in my progression.SolvedSawtooth752 days agoSeasoned Ace78Views0likes5CommentsNo page loads, just "Internal Server Error"
Since this morning, anytime I try to visit anything anywhere in these forums normally, I only get a blank page with "Internal Server Error." (It worked fine yesterday, which is the first day I accessed the new forums.) Searching for the problem turns up at least one other person with the problem (thread 1, thread 2), and it seemed to happen when they had some kind of anti-tracking protection enabled. For me, I don't use AVG, but it seems to be related to some extension I have installed, since I can open these pages in an Incognito window (where most extensions are disabled). However, it's not AdBlock or Ghostery, since the forums still won't load with them disabled, and no other extension should be related in any way. I have Do Not Track enabled in Chrome, but that should apply regardless. This is absolutely egregious. There should be nothing I can do on my end that causes EA's site to throw a server error like this. And it certainly shouldn't still be happening months after it was first reported. The issue is happening for me in Chrome v130.0.6723.92 on Windows 11. (No issues on my phone in Chrome for Android v130.0.6723.74 on Android 13.) UPDATE: It's not an extension but something Chrome must otherwise be handling differently between regular and Incognito windows. I fully disabled every single extension from the extension management settings, and still all EA Forums pages only load as "Internal Server Error" in non-Incognito windows.ShotFromGuns2 days agoRising Vanguard122Views0likes10CommentsPossibility to edit my "optional" Profile Info is gone
As it says here in: Your EA Forums Profile, Avatar & Settings "optionally fill out some details about yourself." As I added some Info "about me" to my EA Forum Profile in the past, I can now not see these settings anymore in my settings nor the line I added to edit it. These "optional" settings are gone and do not show in my account settings anymore. So I can no longer edit my "optional" (about me) info. Has these settings been removed or is it a Forum bug?SolvedLuvMySimz2 days agoSeasoned Ace35Views0likes1Commentin game link swgoh

I believe there was a way to hide posts from certain members on the old Sims forum by blocking or muting them. I think it was referred to as an "Ignored Users" list. Is that function available on these new forums, or planned to be?SolvedQuaintToyVice3 days agoRising Traveler91Views1like3CommentsRequest about 'Follows & Notifications' section in forums
Hi, EA team Every time I unfollow a thread that interests me as that was resolved or fixed, I'm sent back to the first page of the list, which is very annoying. Is it possible to change this behavior or to allow me to select by page number? Currently, the pages are sent sequentially, so as the list grows, it takes a very long time. I'd like to reduce the amount of data, so I'd like something done.SolvedPick-a-boo_doo6 days agoSeasoned Ace31Views1like2CommentsWhy Am I Not Being Notified About Things On The EA Forums?

by the tittle i don't mean the actual gameplay, i mean sure the game itself needs its feedbacks too (i bet everyone else do too) i meant the feedback about this link Categorie: The Sims 4 | EA Forums We have: -The Sims 4 Creative corner -The Sims 4 Feedback -The Sims 4 General discussion Then we have categories that's issues related: -The Sims 4 Technical issues (Consoles, Mac & PC) -The Sims 4 Gameplay Questions & issues -The Sims 4 Mods & Custom Content -The Sims 4 Bug Reports but we used to had the category in which you could share your ideas about the pack you have in mind "creative idea" or something? (can't remember the exact name) i feel like feedback is more like if you want the game to become better either for basegame or the already existing packs and the ideas you have in mind that don't exist yet deserves to have its own category i know it may take ages to move probably half of the topic ideas there but i think it should be possible if we all report the topics together to place it to the category which don't exist yet tittle for the category: "Creative ideas" or "Sims 4 ideas" so we can share our ideas there instead (actual feedbacks and our ideas about the packs/basegame update get so mixed up, that may be confussing especially for newcomers) with other words: The Sims > The Sims 4 > Creative ideas/Sims 4 ideas (just a thought) we can seperate things more this way if feedbacks stays as an actual feedback that already exist in The Sims 4 either for basegame or the already existing packs...who's with me? edit: maybe even better: creating a pack idea archive category similair to this one once it's out The Sims 4 Bug Reports - Archive | EA Forums (but instead of bugs it's the pack ideas category archive) i bet even some of the ideas about certain things are in the "General Discussion" category too that can be merged with the already existing topic (not just the Feedback ones, the pack ideas is all over the place in both Feedbacks and in the General Discussion categories...i bet changing the website have something to do with it, it got all mixed up in both the "Feedback" and the "General Discussion" categories) so make it "create 2 new categories" except you can call it "The Sims 4 (Pack) Ideas Archive/History" (i just came up with it) with that idea added it should go like this: The Sims > The Sims 4 > The Sims 4 (Pack) Ideas Archive/History we can keep things in order even better this way we can place it in the "The Sims 4 (Pack) Ideas Archive/History" or rather the team once the pack is taken care of or rather once the pack is out (i know we can't place them in that new category i have in mind but the teams can for sure...we can report it if it isn't taken care of) with other words: 1 category based on our ideas about the packs and the other some kind of a archive pack ideas the team can place it there once the pack is taken care of The Sims > The Sims 4 > Creative ideas/Sims 4 ideas (like the name have suggested it's based on pack or basegame ideas) The Sims > The Sims 4 > The Sims 4 (pack) ideas Archive/History (like the tittle have said, it's pack ideas that's already out that can be in "The Sims 4 (Pack) ideas Archive/History" we used to share our ideas with) (i hope the team consider this adding 2 more categories in The Sims 4 category)sailorleontine9 days agoSeasoned Ace234Views0likes8CommentsQuestions About Too Many Posts
I keep getting the messages "Content Not Published" and "You’ve exceeded the maximum number of posts you can publish. Try again later." when I try to publish a post. What exactly is the definition of a maximum number of posts? Are there so many posts in an hour, a day, a week? How long must I wait from my first failed attempt to try again? Can I reach a member level that allows me to make more posts than I have currently exceeded? Can I even post in the Technical Discussion if I have been shackled in the other areas of The Sims 3 forum? Yes. When can I expect to be able to post again? I would appreciate some clarification on the rules for this restriction.

I am trying to post a story with images on one of my threads, but keep getting an error message come up saying: 'This content is not published. Invalid HTML. Please remove this before posting. Lib- sim.' (no idea what the last bit means). The story is pasted in plain text from a Word doc and have tried uploading each image via the option in the bottom bar (From Computer) instead of copying and pasting but it still won't let me publish the story. There is no HTML content used in the story, it's all from my computer, so am not sure why I keep getting a message about invalid HTML content. I am wondering if it's the length that's causing issues, as when I do shorter posts with one or two images, it works perfectly fine. I notice there doesn't seem to be a spoiler option on the bar for new posts/replies after the main introductory post so I can't get the long post into a spoiler. Has anyone else had the same issue when trying to post stories (can't find related topics in Search)? And if so, have you managed to solve it?SolvedWhatCobblers18 days agoSeasoned Ace1.9KViews4likes24CommentsFeedback
There is no way to send message to anyone. there is no options to comment the original post with “how to send files” and I can’t tell in any other way than in comments to other posts. And this one is the closest to original topic. we can delete this discussion from this comment but please please somehow let’s mention how to send messages. There is no explanation anywhere how just to send it. I tried so many times.51Views0likes2Comments
