I need help with my account and I have no idea where to post this. It is extremely frustrating not being able to start my own threads. If a support member sees this, please respond.

I just tried to make a post on both of their pages and I got a spam block... -_- Seriously, what is with this website.

Hi... I am not actually new but the forums wouldn't let me log into my old account at work. It would ONLY let me make a new account.

Is there a trick to logging in? It only showed a Username and said "Connect" underneath it. When I typed in my username it said it was taken!

i have the sims 4 and expansion packs, i was just wondering how do i upload my builds etc, i can see and i have downloaded other peoples builds and items etc but i don't know how to upload my own?

Also if anyone could help is there more of an 'active' community or am i completely missing it lol
i cant seem to see an active community , like regular daily active?

and my third question, as i made this account ages ago i want to change my name if possible, on EA it is QueenLigooDoll and i want it to be the same on here, is that possible to do? i cant find an option to change it.

So if it's not possible to open threads unless you've already comented on other posts (which you probably won't because if you're new you don't know anything) then is there a different place to ask for help because the way I see it there's absolutely no way for me to use this forum

Hello @Jaminy. Welcome to the forums.
The Sims 4 Help section on this forum is now read only. New threads are unable to be started in the help section , and already started threads can’t be posted on. It would be best to post about your game issues on the AHQ EA site

I feel like email verification could solve spam accounts :/ (I wasn't asked for my email when i signed up at least) But oh well, I guess this is one way to bring lurkers out of the dark... (i just wanna post my sim babs tho lol)

Yea, I totally agree with many new users here, the gate-keeping system here is a bit discouraging. Whilst I understand the need to weed out dozens of repetitive threads asking the same things from all the new people, it's not the most welcoming. I thought I had gotten a "welcome" msg when I made my account, but then it disappeared soon after. I see the rules post clearly, but perhaps the "helpful advice on starting in the Forums" post just needs to be expanded a tad.

I just signed up and came across this post. It is really helpful for me. Thanks for posting it.

Is there some secret on how to make a post? I have a couple of things I want to say in a post as feedback since this is an official forum. The only reason I registered here was to make those comments. Initially, my posts weren't going to sound angry, but now if I do, it's because this is absolutely infuriating. Actually why is it rocket science to MAKE A POST on a FORUM??? Isn't the point to discuss? Yet I can't even make a discussion? It's the most counterintuitive thing I have ever seen, why make the function of a website so difficult to access? Like I said, I initially was going to try and contain myself and not make an angry post, but I'm honestly enraged at either this forum or my own stupidity. I have yet to see which it is since I still have no clue how to make a discussion.

salemc

Nevermind! I found from a third party that I have to spend who knows how long to give EA feedback. Good way to stifle player feedback, good job guys. Hopefully I'm not flagged as a troll for being angry at this absolutely ridiculous system. I just feel like I shouldn't have to spend x amount of time to use a website when signing up for it. I think owning the game, spending money on expansions and game packs, and connecting my account should be enough, but I guess I'm just entitled or something for wanting to give feedback that I thought would be valuable.

salemc

I love the bottom part "please abstain from giving new members points"

It's not even really explained how to get them in the first place, from my understanding it's from getting likes on posts that I can't make or something. Are you guys just not accepting new members? You could literally have just said that instead of wasting time and characters. I and, I'm sure, many others would be less angry if you just said you aren't accepting new members.
