How do I request to change username on Sims 4 Forums?

I have had my Sims 4 Forum account for a long time. I was hacked before on my Origin account, so I changed my username. I would like my username to match my Origin and EA account because its easy for me! Help please!

    @TheRealStacyDuh From the drop-down menu in the top right, select EA account. In first tab labeled About Me, click the link Edit next to the Basic Information section. After you validate your identity with a 2-factor verifaction (security code sent to your email), you reach a page where you can edit your own username.

    It used to be more complicated. I had to message an administrator a year or two ago. I just tested the above sequence (without saving the change) and it looks like you can edit it independently now. Which is Awesome Sauce.

    This only changes your EA account name. It doesn't change your Sims 4 Forum name. They're two separate things. At the bottom of that Basic Information page is a section for 'Game Identities', and here are listed any names you have associated with your account on various other EA platforms, like the Sims forum. There is no option to change those.
