Sul Sul!

Remember how I said I had an awesome team working on things behind the scenes that simply would not let me fail? Well add @EA_Lanna to that list as well. We all know how much these here forums mean to you, and they mean a lot to us as well. I've talked a lot about "preserving the legacy" of these forums over the last week, and I'm happy to share an update of sorts in that regard:

We're launching a survey (available here) to gather your thoughts on what YOU want to see on the new EA forums when they go live later this year. Quite simply, we want to build the forums that you want to use, if you have a few minutes to share your thoughts with us on the topic it would be most appreciated.

Also please note that the survey above is entirely anonymous, we're not gathering any of your personal details :)
Found a Bug? Let us know here. Having a technical issue with your game? Reach out to us here. 9alz5vu73pb0.png

    @EA_Cade, thank you for this. It is great how supportive you, and the whole team, are being.

    I want to say, however, that for several of the survey questions I wanted to choose multiple answers and ended up selecting Other "All of the Above" since all the answers were very important to me. Just something to think about.

    I filled it out.

    There are many places that could use the multiple-choice format instead. Though the other answer is appreciated.
    The "Which Sims games have you been playing?" question could use The Sims Medieval option.

    I hope the next forums will be great then.

    Yeah, after taking the survey I thought the same. Most questions could have/should have been made multiple choice. I ended up picking the answer that felt most true, but technically I could have crossed off several answers on the questions...

    Props for trying to listen though, of course.

    @EA_Cade I'm having an issue where the form is attaching my alternate email and not the one that I have connected to my account here, AHQ, and with EA. When I click switch accounts it won't show the email that I get all of my email notifications and such from EA. The one the form is trying to use has never been used for anything related to EA. Would you still get the form and my personal answers to the questions if used the other one?

    Feedback passed along to the team! Keep it coming :)

    I don't believe we need any of that information for the survey, the goal is to keep the answers anonymous anyway so it won't hurt :)

    Thanks for sharing that! The 'other' option does allow for some context to be added, but if you'd like space to share more, I can update the survey and make that change stat! What questions would you like me to add a text box after? Thanks for being down to share your thoughts with us to btws. <3

    Ahhhh silly me! Those were meant to be multiple choice! I think I've fixed it. Could you take a peek and let me know?

    @EA_Lanna if you meant by multiple choice you can choose 2 or more answers then 1 then no you can't choose more than the 1
    Ok the other questions you are able to choose multi except for the one asking which sims have you played you are not able to choose all of them

    Thankyou for providing the survey :) You are all putting in so much caring and kind work to try to make the transition over to the forums go as well as possible, and go the best for simmers. Thankyou for caring for us all.

    I'll accept that as the highest compliment.😁 I'm old enough to remember when dinosaurs and bands like Alice In Chains and Nirvana roamed the earth and Tupac was on the mic with Digital Underground.πŸ™‚ Oh to be that young again, now. If I went back to those days I wouldn't have my forum family or The Sims. Hard pass.πŸ™‚

    It's all good.😎 Age is just a number isn't just a saying, it's real. I don't feel old and in moments like this it's good fodder for some laughs.😁

    Personally I think anybody who checked the β€œmore than 20 years” box should immediately be emailed a special badge πŸ˜‚
    Very much appreciate the opportunity to be part of decision making and that’s what I’ve always loved about The Sims team and approach to its fan base.

    I understand there’s probably a need to keep things short and digestible for the team but an opportunity down the line to be able to offer feedback around customisation options for profiles, interactions, etc would be amazing.

    Done :)

    Some feedback: there's a yellow banner at the top of the forum linking to this thread but I only saw it while I was (accidentally) logged out. When logged in it's gone...

    Done and I think the questions covered all my thoughts plus room to add more. I think once people get used to the new forum things will go back to "normal" again. I've already spent a fair amount of years/time on AHQ so not a big move for me and As long as my simmer friends are there I'm happy.
