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.

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.

I'm having the same problem. I'd love to be able to post pictures, and I'm trying to reply to as many posts as I can to get points, but I just can't think of what to say all the time.

@dneill, you just need to make 4 more comments to get to 15 posts and then you should become a full member since you already have the 25 points that you need...
Just go over to the Off Topic section and join in on the many games that's over there...

Don't know why my comment hasn't posted. Am I right in thinking I need 30 posts to be able to start my own topics please?
Hey @IndiaHawker1 - moved your comment here as it's on topic here
You need to be a member to create your own topics - the amount of posts required for that is now 15, and 25 points. You have more info here - you are almost there!
Please can someone clarify how the points system works? It seems like there are a bunch of people asking about it. Also some tips on GETTING points - post numbers are easy, but it's near impossible to get points for me.

I joined because I had a mod question, but I can't figure out how to get 25 points. I have 8 right now but it doesn't go up.
Hello @pristinesim
The number of points and posts needed to become a full member has changed since this thread was started. You now need to have 25 points and 15 posts before you can become a full member.

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.
Hey. Could I also receive some help becoming a member? I posted on a thread about avatars before I realised I can't have one. Don't want to ruin the thread, woops.

Oh god, I just necroposted. If only I could delete it. I'm so sorry!

... I am doing so bad right now. I just realised that I was on the first page and not the last! Phew! I keep making small mistakes that I can't edit or delete around the forums because of the little things I keep missing. I need to learn more about how these forums work, huh?
You are good @Alayafant, don't worry! It takes some time learning what tools are available to you on the forums. We all have been there at some point!
Take your time, have fun and welcome!
I would also appreciate it if I can get some help in earning more points. I also have the same problem as the OP, the discussions I start aren't interesting enough for people to like it. I thought I could earn points by showing off the houses I've build in Sims 4 but I can't post pictures yet. :'(
@rosemow Yes, I did read the previous thread you linked me to. Thank you. Though 25 points is still quite a lot IMO and I doubt I can get the remaining points just by only posting in 'forum games' threads. ^^;

Hello .
You already have 20 Points so just need 5 more points. You nearly have the needed points.
