Welcome to the Sims 3 forum

Welcome to the Sims 3 section of the new EA forums.  We now have an entire Sims 3 subforum, with sections for General Discussion (here), Creative Corner, and Technical Issues.

Site Feedback

Please post your forum-related feedback in the dedicated Feedback section here:

This site is not a finished product yet, so sharing feedback may make a considerable difference.  If you don't like the forum yet, let the EA admins know why and how to make it better.

Rules and Guidelines

Please see these articles:

EA Forums Rules - 19
Getting Started - Welcome to the EA Forums! | EA Forums - 26

Avatars

At the moment, regular users cannot upload custom avatars.  You can however choose one of a (currently small) number of EA-provided options.  Click your username, select My Settings > Personal, and click the current avatar to bring up the list of images.

Supported Files

This forum allows direct uploads of images and text files, so have at it.  You can of course still embed images uploaded to third-party sites.  Use the Insert Link (paper clip) or Insert Media (camera) icon with the other formatting options above the text field.

Tags

This forum supports adding tags to an original post, and we recently gained a whole pile of them.  So please pick the tag(s) that best describe your thread.  In particular, adding at least one tag is critical in the Technical Issues subforum: make sure the helpers can find your post.

EA community managers may add tags to an OP to make it more easily searchable.

When searching this forum, you can filter the search by tag as well as by game or user.

Reactions

As of now, this forum only supports likes, no other reactions.  Feel free to hand some out.  They don't mean anything though.  Users can see who liked each post by clicking the number next to Like at the bottom of the post.

Old threads

It looks like the threads from the old Sims forums have already been migrated.  Feel free to keep using them.
