i changed without issue a month ago on one of my accounts.
Download origin and go into user settings.
oddly it took a half hour for my name change to show up so don't flip. your friends will see the new name even though it may not show up yet for you. log out and back in on TSTO after you make the change.
I changed my name on my freemium account. I don't remember quite how, it was a year ago, but I know I couldn't do on my ipad. I had to download the origin program thingie for my computer and I think it was in the settings. I didn't have any problems with it.
When I changed my name it immediately locked me out of my ea forum account. They should have a warning for that but didn't.
So if your game name and forum name are the same be prepared to lose your forum acct and be forced to start over as a noob with no profile pic.
Maybe there is a way to get them to change your forum name before you try to change your game name but then I would be afraid that doing so would immediately lock you out of your game in the same way it locked my forum acct.

Good luck!
you're right... I think I'm a noob again... oh well.
My town was fine after my name change- but it changes on here too..... Erases your profile pic and starts you over. 0 thread responses, that date will become the date you joined the forum, no profile pic till you get promoted again.
Luckily, I got repromoted in a couple weeks but I've been on here a lot longer than my profile says....
changed mine to IncarceratedBart
I think it went through successfully. :thumbup:
I assumed you would change it to a name that shows up at the beginning of the list. Changing from a J name to an I name won't significantly change your neighbor visits.

To do it I believe you need to change your Origin ID, this would have consequences if you play any other EA games on PC, Xbox, PlayStation etc.

Yeah, that blows.
Maybe others will see this and be forewarned. 8)
