Positive feedback suggestion

Coming from someone who just learned that mistake and try to redeem myself

But isn't it possible to merge the idea into 1 topic?

I'm very active in The Sims 4 topics (mostly the feedback ones)

I noticed we at times get the same results, some ideas very similair than others and it can get misleading at times based on the topics

Certain pack ideas are more popular than others

I'm mainly saying this to keep things organized and again i just learned from that mistake since some of my ideas are the same like the older posts

So is it possible to merge the same idea into 1 topic now that i explained my idea? (even if i have to report it manually)

I don't know how something like that works in other games, just saying maybe if we share the same ideas in the descriptions maybe it can be merged into 1 topic

  • sailorleontine​  Merging has only been possible on this forum for about ten days.  It was previously possible on Answers HQ, which is how you might see a large number of mega-threads, but on this site, we've had to make do without it this entire time.

    If you think one thread should be merged with another, you can always hit the Report button and explain your reasoning.  And if your post gets merged, it doesn't necessarily mean you did anything wrong; there's a lot of cleanup still to be done, and no one is pointing fingers, just trying to get organized again.

  • sure there are exceptions

    maybe we get the same certain country ideas but the ideas what it is about is entirely different, we can always edit the tittle so it won't have to merge it into an already existing one (like for examble maybe someone have an idea based on Germany but 1 person want a car pack but the other want a more tradition kind of way pack based on Germany so the ideas could be entirely different based on a Germany based world)

    but my point is: i see similair ideas, especially the descriptions what it is about

    especially newcomers may not have an idea they can search their ideas up before creating a new post which is very similair to their ideas (i've been there)

    Oh i see, i never thought about this before untill a few days ago since some of my post is similair to those which is older than mine (i report my own post to move mine to the other similair post that exist longer than mine but i also start doing that to other posts which is from others to merge it into 1 link)

    I panicked last week because i thought my ideas got deleted or something because i shared the same ideas but in short this time not knowing my idea got placed to someone elses post (in the comments) untill someone mentioned things about me repeating the post (that's how i found out it's no longer in my own post, luckily me i found my own post in the comments instead) good thing i'll check the other post first before panicking from now on😊😊

    And i get it we're just doing our job and get things organized so we can keep track about things, i'll report the topic which is similair to the other topic if i see one which is younger than the other one that has the same topic👍 (i started it not only with my own topic but also the others which are younger than the other one)

    Nothing wrong with cleaning the post a little and place it to the comment from someone elses ideas😉😉👍

    Thanks for answering😄😄
