Okay, decided that for the record, it’s worth preserving old Broken/Updated Mods threads (to be buried in Mod/CC Issues, and if that means without links, that’s absolutely fine!):
EA CREATOR NETWORK MEMBER — Want to be notified of patches, new Broken Mods threads, and urgent Sims 4 news? Follow me at https://www.patreon.com/luthienrising.
OK, I have now moved EVERYTHING that was nominated into the Nominated Threads section.
Every.single.one, by hand, manually, one at a time.
My eyes, they bleed.
The only things that aren't moved that were nominated are threads in the Off Topic section as I'm still trying to find out how that will work on the new EA forums.
Thanks all for ALL the nominations you've made, all of them, every single one, that I move, by hand, one at a time.
I do it happily to help preserve the history here. Keep em coming!
The cutoff for nominating threads is March 8 at 10am PT, at which point this thread will be locked.
Found a Bug? Let us know here. Having a technical issue with your game? Reach out to us here.
@SamelaRita some of these threads have been already nominated. If you're not sure, look at the top of site of any thread to see, in which section it is placed currently. If it's in "Nominated Threads" it means that somebody already ask to add them earlier. This way we'll avoid replicated links in this thread.
I'd like to nominate the following thread Forum Friday Highlights Archive https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/939275/forum-friday-highlights-archive#latest
This is a great archive of some awesome screenshots, and of course, threads! These are such a great resource and wonderful feature each week .
Also, other Friday highlight archives should be migrated over, as well.
Unarchived challenge rulesets for Sims 4. My reasoning for these to be carried over is the same for every thread. Gameplay and storytelling challenges are an integral part of the Sims community and always have been, and let players explore the game and flex their creative skills with a low barrier to entry (opposed to CC creation or modding for instance). For your sake I am limiting it to challenges that have maintained some level of long-term interest, have or had lots of useful discussion, and were notably high-quality, at least from a glance.
Some have recently been active, making this redundant, and I can't guarantee who has AHQ accounts and can have their threads archived or not, but I want to do what I can.
Hi all ! There is no activity, i doubt there'll be any before mar12. I just made that thread and its a final version my save file. Im kinda lost on the new place but i'll figure it out eventually. In the mean time if at all possible id like to migrate the thread, i did have about 40visits... OR i can always put out a new one over the summer. Have a great migration everybody https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/1012866/funkytown-save-file#latest ✌️
@EA_Cade Would there be any chance we could move the Community Stuff Pack projects over as well? Or at least... as much of those sections as possible? I know there are a lot of threads in there, but there was a lot of dev talk and sharing of how packs are made and so much discussion of ideas amongst the community that it would be a shame to lose those sections.

Thank you so much @EA_Cade and your team for all you do to keep our history alive and well.
I am back with Sims 3 challenge threads. The first is @ELIROC's TS3 NEW Challenge & Role Play thread, as it is the best-curated list of challenges for TS3 I can find. The thread will continue to have utility with external links as well.
As for the rest of this, it is a selection of challenges rulesets, to be preserved for the same reason across the board: gameplay and storytelling challenges are an integral part of the Sims community and always have been, and let players explore the game and flex their creative skills with a low barrier to entry (opposed to CC creation or modding for instance). For your sake I am limiting it to challenges that have maintained some level of long-term interest, have or had lots of useful discussion, and were notably high-quality, at least from a glance.
Some have recently been active, making this redundant, and I can't guarantee who has AHQ accounts and can have their threads archived or not (probably even moreso for TS3 challenges, as many are much older), but I want to do what I can.

Thanks @EA_Cade, since you encouraged us to preserve the history ...
I would like to nominate Old DD (Daily Deal) Rotation: Start 13 April - End 14 June for nostalgic reasons and that I have linked this thread from the Current DD thread. (I did just post on the thread but just in case, I want to nominate it as well)
This is one of my favourite Daily Deal threads as this is the one where the DD list changed from a formal on-topic discussion of the deals to one of the most friendly, fun-loving, sometimes off-topic threads on the Sims 3 forum. Another major change during was the introduction of Complete Your Set discount and the creation of the first DD spreadsheet.
Funny Sims 3 Screenshots - Capturing screenshots of your sims experiencing a funny moment or a glitch that has happened in your gameplay that seems funny enough to share. What Is Your Current Household Family? - Sharing screenshots and details about your first/present sim household in sims 3. Make Your Own Baby Clothes - A tutorial about how to create a simple baby onesie. Sims 3 Household Exchange - A place where simmers share their cc-free/non-bugged households that've been uploaded to the sims 3 exchange site or that have been posted somewhere else that's safe enough to download.
Tysm for moving them! But I'm sorry, I've got more from a few more categories. I didn't send everything either Instead I split them into groups on my end. The ones not linked are either being bumped or archived to Wayback/text because of the slim chance of any of those members from 2009-2014, who haven't been active since, of having AHQ accounts.
I hit the Sims 3 CAW (and CAP) the last 2 days with priority because of this programs complexity that deserves to be preserved. Unfortunately I'm not as familiar with that category so it's likely I missed a few things, but I grabbed what I could. Sims 3 CAW & CAP

This is a great archive of some awesome screenshots, and of course, threads! These are such a great resource and wonderful feature each week .
Also, other Friday highlight archives should be migrated over, as well.
Some have recently been active, making this redundant, and I can't guarantee who has AHQ accounts and can have their threads archived or not, but I want to do what I can.

@EA_Cade Would there be any chance we could move the Community Stuff Pack projects over as well? Or at least... as much of those sections as possible? I know there are a lot of threads in there, but there was a lot of dev talk and sharing of how packs are made and so much discussion of ideas amongst the community that it would be a shame to lose those sections.

As for the rest of this, it is a selection of challenges rulesets, to be preserved for the same reason across the board: gameplay and storytelling challenges are an integral part of the Sims community and always have been, and let players explore the game and flex their creative skills with a low barrier to entry (opposed to CC creation or modding for instance). For your sake I am limiting it to challenges that have maintained some level of long-term interest, have or had lots of useful discussion, and were notably high-quality, at least from a glance.
Some have recently been active, making this redundant, and I can't guarantee who has AHQ accounts and can have their threads archived or not (probably even moreso for TS3 challenges, as many are much older), but I want to do what I can.

The Sims 4 General DiscussionThanks @EA_Cade, since you encouraged us to preserve the history ...
I would like to nominate Old DD (Daily Deal) Rotation: Start 13 April - End 14 June for nostalgic reasons and that I have linked this thread from the Current DD thread. (I did just post on the thread but just in case, I want to nominate it as well)
This is one of my favourite Daily Deal threads as this is the one where the DD list changed from a formal on-topic discussion of the deals to one of the most friendly, fun-loving, sometimes off-topic threads on the Sims 3 forum. Another major change during was the introduction of Complete Your Set discount and the creation of the first DD spreadsheet.
To help you organize your stalking of the Daily Deal, please join us on the Daily Deal Rotation and Sales Help thread and please view the DD Spreadsheet
Funny Sims 3 Screenshots - Capturing screenshots of your sims experiencing a funny moment or a glitch that has happened in your gameplay that seems funny enough to share.
What Is Your Current Household Family? - Sharing screenshots and details about your first/present sim household in sims 3.
Make Your Own Baby Clothes - A tutorial about how to create a simple baby onesie.
Sims 3 Household Exchange - A place where simmers share their cc-free/non-bugged households that've been uploaded to the sims 3 exchange site or that have been posted somewhere else that's safe enough to download.
I hit the Sims 3 CAW (and CAP) the last 2 days with priority because of this programs complexity that deserves to be preserved. Unfortunately I'm not as familiar with that category so it's likely I missed a few things, but I grabbed what I could.
