I too was unable to get my OriginID as my username.
Edit:
A similar discussion here.
(X-Ref for convenience)
Also if custom username changes were allowed there could be a limit on how many times you can change your name (4 times a year) or how soon you can change your name (after 30 days) or even putting a cost to it that's something the points could be used for though as of now once you get all the badges you can't really get any more points.
You don't love Stewie anymore? Let me tell you, if that's true, well that's one baby you don't want to make mad or mess with
I can understand people wanting new names but changing them can be a hassle when people take advantage, (start flame wars change name, etc), and as a former database manager, you'd be surprised how fast name changes add up.
I'd like to change my name, 'cause I made this name when I was younger and I've picked up a screen name I use for everything now, and any site that I don't use it on annoys me slightly as I'm not who I think I am (sort of).
That way people who want to change their Display name have the possibility of getting a new one (not necessarily equal to their Origin ID), won't break any forum code that's not tied to a number but to the username itself, and allows for people to more easily have their gallery known.
Me: Would it be possible for me to change my Sims 4 forum username to my Origin ID?
Rep: I am so sorry to say but the ID can't be changed as the game has already been registered under the name...
Me: Can I re-register my game under a different name?
Rep: Had it been possible I would have loved to get this done for you .
Rep: For re-registering the game you will have to buy a new game .
Rep: And I would not suggest that as this will take your extra bucks .
Rep: Sorry for the inconvenience 1
Me: I'm not trying to change the Origin ID, I want to change my Sims 4 username, which was automatically transferred from Sims 3.
Me: When I pre-ordered my game it was purchased using my Origin ID, so why can't I use the same name in the forums?
Rep: I am sorry to say but this is not possible.
I was also told to check back after the weekend.
I like the idea that Seera1024 suggested about being able to use a display name instead.

I don't think what they said is true as I have 6441 posts and haven't seen anything that allows someone to change their user name. They only way to have your user name change is to either post on a SimGuru/SimStaff page if you can't send them PM's or PM if you are a full member. When this site first started up last year in 2014, there was an option to do so but it didn't work and it got taken down.
