Could someone take a look at my Sims bio for any words that warrant the "Disallowed Word" error? Cayden King Bio: I've created a surplus of female Sims, so to balance out the population I've decided to create more male Sims. Now, without further ado, meet Cayden King! A cheerful, goofball with a love of all things green. Speaking of green, this boy has a bit of a jealous streak in him, but just give him some time and he'll be right as rain. #gardener #greenthumb #man #male #youngadult #cute #freckles #handsome #goofball #cheerful #caydenking #cuteboy #handsome #casualsimgirl #CSG I can't see the issue, but maybe someone else here can. I'd love to upload my Sim, but until this is resolved I can't. Thanks in advance! (CM: Thread created/post split from this thread)

@EuphorialQueen, that's a good idea!💡🙂 (But it is ridiculous if the word "goofball" is disallowed, since that is the name of one of the traits that EA gave us! 🤭😃 )

Anything written in your bio or gallery item with the term "DLC" is bizarrely considered "profanity" by EA. Strange but true.

@Miss_Rin_Evans, @EuphorialQueen and @PugLove888It must have something to do with the multiple language settings of the Sims gallery.On the Dutch language page of AHQ we had a similar situation. The very common Dutch word 'lekker' seemed to be not allowed. At least when that word was skipped uploading was not a problem anymore.But it could also have to do with the sim names gamers use.

As soon as I changed these names the problem was over.In your case, Miss_Rin_Evans, it could be the fact that the name Bailey is already in the game. May be you should try uploading your sims individually and see if that gives a better result.

@CasualSimGirl Try removing the word "goofball"- EQ Avid Sims Player#EQCreationsI do not work for EAAll packs installed and patches are current.PC / Win 10Never used CC or mods.

Unsure which word resulted in the "Disallowed words" error.

Looks like this was discussed and solved on your thread here:
