What happened to the forums? Hate it!
It's been awhile since I visited the Sims forums and wow do I dislike what they've done. 1. I can't make my own avatar anymore? 2. The design and layout is hideous. And way too bright! DARK THEME ...
Forum Discussion
Right there with you AmaraRena Navigating these forums is, well, it speaks for itself. I guess the idea is that those of us who knew the old (better) forums will shove off or be gone soon enough so that these forums are just accepted with so very little comparison to the old ones that a lot of us miss. I had heard that "feedback" on these new forums was being solicited, but no matter the feedback given, I'm certain EA will never go back to what was.
I have explored some unofficial Sims forums and that's a great option (especially for following stories). Even though I am pretty much done with trying to follow posts here, I still get EA's daily and weekly forum updates to keep up with what's going on here (I totally forgot - yes forgot - about the new patch and the new kits). It's not much, but I don't feel as out of the loop as I would having pretty much given up on this new forum otherwise.
Hopefully, you will find some balance to this new change and figure out what works for you. It's a shame when a change means a step backwards though. And it, to me anyway, shows the company's main interest and area of focus (consolidation but in a way that limits the fanbase).
