Here we are now. The No-Transfer line has been passed. So now, any posts made won't transfer to the new The Sims Forums. We can still be here until July.
So, with 4 months left (as of making this post) and no comments being transferred, I'll ask you all one thing:
Any regrets? Or any "Forum bucket list" you plan to finish up during the time? Or, perhaps, any fond memories from here you'll cherish?
Let's close up this chapter before we move onwards to the new future, towards (hopefully) bright future.

My one regret is that I still didn't make a profile picture. I was just overthinking how it should be all along. Perhaps I could try to get one during that time...
My fondest memories include the times I made some great discussions that even got to Friday Highlights. Collection of Creepy Things for example. And then the times after I got The Sims 4 Studio downloaded. Its ability to look into tuning files was so exciting that I just couldn't keep that knowledge to myself. Happy to see all of those being transferred in the end.
My biggest regret was I didn't become an active poster here until February '22. I lurked on here from 2014 or 2015 until then.
My fondest memory is all the friends I've made from various discussions and my story threads. The biggest of those is my Under The Tratosan Sun thread which is where I met most of those friends. All of the friendships that are the closest and the most special to me came from that one thread. That thread and all of those dear friends will be coming along to our new home.
I look forward to adding many more years of fun, love, and friendship to all that we've built here already.

Regrets... not really.
It's been a fun ride. I'm sorry to see this all go.
I think making a profile pic for here would be nice. I hope you do it.
Of friends made, help and advice on vexing problems that solved more of them than can count, links to so many helpful reviews that made pack selection a lot easier, introduction to MCCC and how to get it, so many delightful screenshots. word on features didn't know existed -yea debug! Could go on but you get the idea. This has been the place, a gold mine, really, for socializing and valuable information.
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
I’d echo all of this. I’m glad I took the (for me) very bold stop of actually joining in rather than merely lurking. It’s been a good place — not just for finding out stuff (though there’s been a lot of that) but also for being accepted and welcomed into a community of like-minded people.
My regret is that this forum has to close. But I’m hopeful we won’t all lose touch and that we can build and grow this community in our new home.
My only real regret is finding this place so late
as I missed out on lots of fun old threads
like those epic Strangerville ones
Aside from that I don't think I have much regrets tbh
okay maybe some regrets about badly worded comments or cringe posts
sometimes I just get weird sort of bees in my bonnet and forget to think twice before I hit post comment.
Any "Forum bucket list" you plan to finish up during the time?
For now I think I will be posting Simmingals Gemology Adventures on CCSP thread
and saving copies of those to readd to the thread when new forum is out
After that I think I will go back to my usual save and see if I can conjure a little story of some kind to post once new forum is out
(unless I am haunted by building spirits that is, in that case I will be obsessively building my worlds instead)
Any fond memories from here you'll cherish?
Way too many to pick ones to share
I just love this community so much 💚
I really hope everyone transfers over when the time comes
because I know it would be sad site without you all

Well said, this too
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
Me too! Can’t wait!
I think it’s going to be bigger and better than ever😃
I will miss this forum. I have been posting a bit on answer HQ but I don't feel at home there yet.
We had good discussions about the direction of the franchise, what should be featured in the game, mods, bugs, speculating about the next pack based on hints and much more...
My favorite memories are probably the different screenshots that I created for different threads like "share your sims". I do remember these pictures from the Isn't CAS fun? thread.
But also funny posts like this one where I got 46 awesome's for posting a silly gif on the Pro Tip thread showcasing how you can interrupt roommates playing the violin in discover university.
And many other memories, discussing how gardening actually works in the game with modders explaining how things worked, discussing if journey to batuu is actually a good pack... I'm sure everyone shares the same opinion about that one and more that I probably don't remember.

Oh, it was 8 years ago when I joined these forums. Oh how it has changed all that time.
When I first joined, the reactions were Like and LOL. Eventually, Disagree was added, then Insightful, then Awesome, then Disagree was renamed to Zagadoo and then removed, as was LOL reaction too.
The Sims 2 used to have its own Creativity Corner section. I watched the whole Let's Play series on The Sims 2 for PSP there!
And I remember the day when the moderating abilities were accidentally made available to everyone. It was a chaos. I remember a comment saying "If you delete my posts, I'll delete your saves!". It was confusing and funny... Plus you could check who has reacted too! But after some time, the forums were taken down due to maintenance and all that chaos was wiped and users without mod powers...
Or that time after Eco Lifestyle was released when The Sims Team adopted a bee and asked players to name it. Everyone who voted got a badge for it too! I joined in there too.
Or these times when those two community voted stuff packs (laundry and knitting) had its own section. I suggested them to allow knitting behind desks and tables. Didn't make it in-game, but hey, at least the tooltip for why says sorry (I kind of feel like it's directed to me...).
Ah, been here since 2015... Now then, onto seeing what I have bookmarked and noting these down for the next forums!
I found a hashtag on a room on the gallery in April 2017 for one of the forum challenges, and got way way into building --- although, I love to play the game and make Sims in CAS, too
The forum move has been a blessing in disguise. If not for the move I never would have spent time at AHQ and wouldn’t have added several new friends.😊
