Gallery name changed
The changes to the Gallery have affected all the things I have posted. I have used the name 'FrogPrince' ever since playing the game many years ago. That name has been changed to the name I have re...
Let me get this straight. I have what you call an EA ID which is Frog Prince and appears on the Sims Forum and until recently on my creations in the Gallery. I have an Origin ID Y0B73TOX which I have always thought was a security thing because of being able to buy things on Origin. That ID has never appeared ever on any of my creations regardless of what you say. Can you explain to me why I appear as Y0B73TOX on Origin and the Gallery and FrogPrince on the Sims Forums if we are only to have one ID? I simply do not want to be known as YOB73TOX on the Gallery or on the forums. What is so difficult to understand about that. If I have to change it again as being suggested, then I will have a 3rd ID and all I have contributed on the forums and the gallery will be lost and I will appear as a novice as I do on this forum.
changing your ID on Origin will not change your forum ID. Those are two different things.
The Forum ID (Frog Prince) is what you will always see on the forums and in the Sims 3 Exchange (if you ever used Sims 3). That cannot be changed and appears as Sims identity on that page @EA_Mai linked before.
The EA-ID (= OriginID) is what's used here at AHQ and in the Sims 4 Gallery. It's the YOB... ID you have. If you change that, it will have no influence on the official Sims forum. Your old creations will still show as YOB .. but the new ones should then show under whatever you choose (FrogPrince might be taken as EA-ID). It's still the same account though, just a name change.
I found an old picture of mine where the old gallery shows. Do you remember what name showed in the upper right ? Where it says crinrict for me ? That's the OriginID (as you can see, I searched for it) and that's the same as the EA-ID you have now. It just changed to EA-ID instead of Origin ID.
