However, I have two questions that aren't exactly important enough to post on the EA HQ site. I've tried posting on reddit but didn't really get a lot of help. In the past Rosemow helped me post a technical question I had which was a HUGE help! Are there any threads where new members can post in game questions about glitches/game play?

Also, I apologize, as I am sure this has been asked before but I don't know how much everything changed since the rule change earlier in 2018

Hello @UserMnk1116

You have the required posts and points now,
Try logging out of the site then logging back in again and see if that shows you as a full member

UserMnk1116 · January 2019

Thank you, everyone! You're the best!!

rosemow · January 2019

Congratulations on becoming a full member! @UserMnk1116

Would love to see diagonal placement of stairs to become available. As well as more structural arrangement options of stairs, rather than just straight up & down. As someone who spends most of their time building in Sims4, that would be a huge advancement.

You don’t need to be sorry! New members are unable to edit posts, and all members are unable to delete posts

Don't know if this is in the right place or if it's necroposting.
Maybe I'm just being ignorant but it doesn't seem like there's any way to delete my account here?

Hello @your_everyday_simmer
You would need to post about it on the activities wall of either EA_Lanna or EA_Cian

Actually disregarding what I said before. It's probably necroposting and I don't want to delete the account anyways. Nobody will probably see this but sorry about that..

Oh, okay thank you! Sorry about wasting your time with it though. Might need this for future reference though!

I hope that you will enjoy reading the forum threads and posting on them @your_everyday_simmer

The threads contain a lot of helpful tips about playing the game.

I do need some help, I cannot make new discussions.

Hello @Zeroescapefan500 . Welcome to the forums!

New members are unable to start new threads until they become full members. You need to have 25points and 15 posts before you can become a full member and can then have an Avi picture, post pictures, have a signature, start new threads, edit posts , post links that show up correctly and have quotes appear in grey boxes . This thread explains about it.

You receive a point each time another simmer presses like or awesome or insightful on a post that you have posted in a thread created by another simmer.
You will be able to start a new thread when you become a full member.

Hi there! Maybe you can help me figure something out @rosemow ? I've become a full member now but when I try putting in an imgur url for a photo nothing happens. I also tried using [img][/img] but I still can't see the picture, but I thought I can do that now and that that comes together with editing posts, having a profile picture etc.?

I have been on here since June 2018 and don't have any points, badges, etc. like nothing I do on here registers at all. This is getting so frustrating for me as I have questions and want to participate in things and I can't. I can't even look at the link provided above about learning how to earn badges because it's restricted. What do I do???

@Smoky1967,

Hello and welcome to the forums...

In order to be able to posts pictures and have an avatar, you first need to become a full member because as of right now you are considered a new member. New members are restricted from starting new threads, posting pictures and links, having an avatar or changing one, sending private messages to other members. In order to become a full member, you will need to have 25 points, 15 posts and an account older than 24 hours.
http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/934205/small-change-for-new-members#latest

A link with a list of badges that gives out points. There is a page that explains what each badge is but it's broken for the time being.
http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/770609/member-or-new-member-everything-you-need-to-know/p236

And this link is a tutorial on how to use the site..

A link for a thread for New Members to introduce themselves to the community.
http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/817478/hello-come-and-introduce-yourself/p1

I would suggest for all new members to go and read the rules of the site before posting...

A link to Forums Etiquette, Warning/Banning Process and the Forum Rules...

http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/categories/forum-rules

And I would also suggest reading the thread about necroposting as well as there is a rule about it in the rules section. I would also suggest checking the title of thread as well as the location of the thread since we have older Sims games sharing this forum. An example would be if you're a TS4 player and have an issue with the game, please check to make sure that they thread that you have brought up isn't a TS2/TS3. I have provided links at the bottom of this post for "New Members" to be able to posts their issues in.
https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/946943/necroposting#latest

For any New members who want to get their post/point count up, the best thing that I would advise you to do is to find threads that may interest you and join in on them or go to the Off Topic section and join in on some of the word/story games over there. The posts made over in the forum section will go towards your post count whereas the posts made on your wall and the Activity Feed doesn't go towards the total post count. The only thing that you will get if you should make any post over on your wall or Activity Feed will be any Insightfuls, Likes or Awesomes as they will go towards your total points count. Hopefully creating your posts on other threads will also increase your points...

https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/categories

And for anyone who may have any issues with TS3, here's the link for New Members to post their TS3 issues in.
Sims 3 issues
http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/893122/thread-for-new-members-to-post-their-sims-3-game-issues#latest

The EA team has moved The Sims 4 Help Center section to the Answers HQ Forums now. The Sims 4 Help Center section on this forum is now "Read Only". So you will need to click on this link if you have any issues that you want to report to EA and hopefully get the help that you need...

And for name changes, you can request them on either @EA_Lanna or @EA_Cian page...
