EA StaffThe Sims official forums are down for a maintenance right now. I will let you know here when the maintenance is over, sorry for the inconvenience.
In the meantime, you could go play Sims for a while... or you could post instead here on Answers HQ.
Hi everyone,
Thanks for the patience, you should be able to access the forums again! 🙂
Have fun!

You weren't banned/blacklisted. The forums are under maintenance; it's down for everyone. It'll be back up soon enough 🙂
Hi all.
I am an active forum user on thesims.com but whenever I try to access it at the moment, I get a message saying "Error 403 Blocked- Access Blocked- The request you have made has been blocked. You do not have permission to access this resource."......What the heck?
The forums are down for maintenance atm. There's actually another thread on this topic :D
As of the time on this post I am still getting the 403 forbidden error . Is that suppose to be normal?
Oh my.....PLEASE don't tell me any threads will be ERASED during this long Maintenance!!!!
I write stories on there and forgot to back up a few of them. Please! Tell me they won't be erased!!!
Before the forums went offline there was this message in a banner on it: "The forums will be under going maintenance today starting at 1PM PT." I thought they'd be back up by now and began to wonder about the 403 Blocked. But seeing this discussion relieved my worries. I'm going to just go play for now. Happy Simming everyone. This will get cleared up soon, I'm sure.
Agree.........I "Live" On the Sims 4 Forums... With My Friends in the "Modelling Community" I am there so MUCH.....and the way the Message came across was as IF I was being "WARNED"... I had done something wrong It was Very Upsetting......and Had to Rally My Friends in FB Groups to find out What had Happened Me thinking I was Banned..... Thanks though for the Information that its only "Maintenance" ............ HUGE "BLOCK" is really NOT a Good Thing .... TO SEE...Maybe Change that to Under Maintenance ..... and Not a "BLOCKED" Sign .......... Thanks ** EVERYONE ** was thinking they were Banned... Just Not Good to Do to US... 😢
it's down for maitence but it's been like that since for me 3ish in the afternoon. It's after 11 at night.
