Hard to Navigate

Can we please get subforums for The Sims 3  and other forums with similar issues? I can't find anything with the current format as everything has been included on one page and isn't even broken up into reasonable-length pages. From what I can tell, to find what you are looking for, you have to scroll endlessly through posts you are not interested in to locate the post you want to read. If the one you want isn't replied to often enough, it will be WAY down the list.

If we have subforums we can at least have less to scroll through. And breaking posts into pages would make it so much easier to navigate larger posts.

With the "What happened in your Sims 3 game today?" post, which was migrated from the old forums, there were 110,597 replies at the time of this post. That's a lot of scrolling to find the latest posts you haven't read. And there are no filtering options, especially Most Recent available at the top of posts, only the forum page itself.

I'm not even sure if my computer could handle a web page with 110k posts and I'm pretty sure if you were on your phone, you wouldn't get to the bottom of it without exploding. LOL

The Sims community would appreciate any improvements of this nature. Thanks for listening to our concerns. Please address them to the best of your ability.

Thank you!

  • We have since created sub-forums for The Sims 3. While we still have no pagination, we made sort by Oldest the default but you can change this both for threads (just at the bottom right underneath the first post of a thread) and overall for your user profile at the bottom of this page here: My Settings: Preferences
