I didn't know where else to ask this. I need to privately contact someone who is in charge involving the sims 4 about some extremely serious and disturbing custom content. it is so serious, I do not want to say it here, and I'm certain the words would be replaced by "plum," and I would most likely get a warning for discussing it. can anyone provide me with information to contact someone of authority at EA or Maxis about this serious situation?

i doubt EA will do anything in regards to third party content no matter how depraved and morally corrupt it might be.

You're best bet is to go to twitter and get ahold of SimGuruKate and let her know what you found. But, I do have to agree with the poster above. I'm not sure how much they are gonna care about 3rd party content. It's not really endorsed or promoted by EA, so kind of a "if you don't like it, don't use it".

why do you go there where the seriously disturbing content is? I'm into adult content yet I have never seen anything disturbing.

Because it's CC they probably can't/won't do anything but if the webstie you found it on has a policy against such things perhaps you could report it to them?

If the website host permits it, there's probably nothing you can do. One person's shocking is another person's ho hum as usual. Unless the content actually violates laws, it is unlikely that anything you could say would get it taken down. Then there is the matter of which jurisdiction applies to the website where the content is hosted. EA doesn't police all websites of custom content - there are far too many of them to make this practical in any way. Unless the content is a direct threat to EA's bottom line, and more so than the cost of attorney's fees, there is no reason for EA to even file a lawsuit.

Honestly? Regarding third party content, EA won't be doing anything. I'm sure they'd love to be able to stop some of the disturbing mods etc that come with the game, but they do have a warning about them whenever you install CC and open the game so... :/

LOL, OP. I'm pretty sure it's not as serious as you think it is and why do you want to contact EA personally like as if you're gonna sue the third party content maker? :D Just use the report button, it's there for a reason.

If the content in question depicts something illegal, then it may be against rule 6 of the user agreement.

The only resource they give in the user agreement is https://help.ea.com/en/
Try going to Contact Us ---> Report Concerns or Harassment---> Report Player or Website (whichever)

I've never had to do this myself. Hope it helps.

You can always contact the site the content is on and report it. Most cc sites won't tolerate that type of cc.
