      I am confused...

      The topic title made me laugh though.
      The great paradox... "What is a question?"

      First, it's not a stupid question. It's actually a very good one.

      Second, the answer is... After you've clicked on Help, login to your EA account then click on Contact Us. You will have some required fields to select (those with an asterisk *), and then type your question to submit by email. Or you have the option to select live chat.

      Example: Click on the image to view a larger size.

      Happy Simming!

      EDIT:
      I hope some of you that previously posted learned something today. :?

      Well the only thing I learned is that if you want to get help you have to be clear with what you need help with in order to get the help you need.

      True. But they said when they click on Help, so I understood what he/she was talking about. On the other hand, threads created that just say Help instead of Help with "specific" do irritate the heck out of me. In fact, I tend to skip right past them. :wink:

      Guys can someone please help. How do i ask a question?

      This is the first time I've witnessed so much snarkiness on this forum. With the exception of Bluenote who cut through the prattle and straight to the matter. Did the rest of you get out of your games from the wrong side of the computer, or what?

      I have to say this shocks and dismays me. I really don't wish to see this site decline into the horrible battle that went on over at the Sims2 site after Sims3 was announced. And while I recognize this 'battle' doesn't include Sims3 vs Sims4, it might as well be a pre-cursor to such snarkiness and belittling to come.

      This site has been known for how friendly we all are. Please, let's not take this walk down the dark side of the road. Okay? If you don't understand the question someone asks, or don't know the answer just say so. Please don't stoop to antagonizing the person requesting help.

      Stepping off of my little soapbox now. Please, please, PLEASE don't make me take it out of my "back pocket" again. Thank you.

      The fact that someone new had to resurrect a thread from 2011 just to post a snarky comment amazes me.
      Well done, well done indeed....

      I'm sure the OP knows how to post a question on the Help section now.

      This is an old thread and my previous answer is no longer applies. This was under the old help system which has since been updated to Answer HQ. You still access the same way via the top navigation link and login with your Origin id / password. Select from the drop-down boxes, etc.

      Well, it might help if they knew what the question is that you want to ask.

      You should be able to play both at once since it's an expansion to the game instead of a different game altogether. Are there animals in your game when you open it up?

      Oh! Thank you! Sorry, I kept forgetting I wasn't one? I got confused a lot. Sorry for reviving a dead thread, but I appreciate the help, even if it's pointing out something more on the obvious side of things.
