Welcome to the Sims 3 forum
Welcome to the Sims 3 section of the new EA forums. We recently gained a second subsection (technical issues); no idea if or when more are coming.

Rules and Guidelines
Please see these articles:
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 avatars.
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 the "technical issues" tag for tech issues and questions is critical: 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.
