Email

I've had an EA account for over fifteen years. It's not the one I'm posting from now.

On this EA account, I have The Sims 4 franchise, almost all the stuff packs and expansions—it's quite an investment.

Six years ago, following a personal event, I deleted my email address. I did it impulsively, without thinking, and especially without considering that this email address was linked to my EA account. Obviously, six years later, it's too late to recover it; that email address no longer exists, and it's impossible to recreate it exactly.

I still use it to log in to my EA account (I still have my password). Sometimes, without knowing why, it works, and I stay logged in long enough to play. But when I'm logged out, I struggle to log back in because it asks for a code to retrieve from my emails, and of course, the email address no longer exists, so I can't retrieve the code.

I tried changing my email address, but there too, it asks for a code, sent to an address that no longer exists.

This has been driving me crazy for six years. I've tried everything: opening cases, contacting AI support who asks me a ton of questions that I answer, but it's never enough. I'm ready to provide all the necessary documents to prove my identity.

At this point, I'm desperate. What can I do?

I don't want to lose my account; I just want to change this email address.

Thank you for your help.

    I'm begging for a solution, I've been trying again and again for six years. I tried again a few minutes ago and the chat tells me they cant's help me because i failed "narrowly" to answer the questions and that I was "very close" ! It's so absurd I gave everything, DOB, ID, three of my last purchases with the exact dates, the four last digits on my card, a copy of paypals transactions... I don't know what more can I do.

    Is there any number I can call to speak to a human being and not an AI because it's going nowhere ?
