    Hey all,

    Still absolutely slammed with other tasks at the moment but I just wanted to reiterate that the best place for these suggestions is over here. Our Forum Admins EA_Spectre, EA_Nils, and EA_David are actively reading and responding to feedback with our site hosts.

    Thank you to everyone who is being vocal and sharing feedback with us, lets make this forum the best it can possibly be together <3

    Then why did you direct us here? :scream:

    It's called micro management.. :p

    Edit: kinda like sitting the kids in front of the t.v

    Okay, maybe I missed the error notification, but I just tried to post a discussion and ... it's gone. I didn't see anythign telling me I couldn't post, it seemed to post okay, and then poof, post vanished.

    And It was just a discussion thread for what we hope to see in the livestream.

    I can see it in my Followed Topics, but when I go to that, I get a "this message cannot be found" error.

    I guess we are going to see how the new forum behaves on the 18th after the livestream when everyone is going to post. I noticed on some of the threads that it lists number of messages that are unread, but there is no way to find them, you literally need to read a thread from the beginning and then scroll down continuously if you want to read an entire thread and hope you can read it all in one sitting and nobody else posts anything else otherwise you need to start all over again.

    This forum doesn't recognize my EA Account.

    You can't log in @catloverplayer ? Is the email address on your EA account the same email that you use on the Forums here?
    PLEASE FIX TEENS IN TS4! I NEED YOUNGER TEENS NOT YA TEENS! (^_^)Please add Music Bands with lead singers! Please add vehicles and garages! Vehicles have always been part of The Sims.

    Sink or swim? That new site is like a pool with no pool ladders... Oh well that's the last goodbye then! I'm gonna miss the final good place on the internet to follow sims 3 legacy stories :'(

    What a fitting comparison...

    I just tried to find a response of mine in one of the feedback threads over there. I'm sure it's still there buried somewhere, but I wasn't able to find it.

    There's a reason I stay away from social media or Reddit style sites...

    I make gameplay mods! You can find them at CurseForge.

    Interesting... For 10 hours now, after some time not posting anything and being able to post fine at the moment, I'm back at this error message:
    Content Not Published
    You’ve exceeded the maximum number of posts you can publish. Try again later.

    I'm actually beginning to wonder if this has anything to do with wi-fi strength...
    I'll... have to see...

    Update on the story. All the progress has now been deleted and lost. Woo... Demotivation, here it comes!

    I'd provide feedback there if I could post without any "You’ve exceeded the maximum number of posts you can publish" messages. What do you mean? What is the number? How long does it last?

    At this point, I'd be ready to pay to keep these forums up at this rate...

    Edit. I'm saved. Good thing I keep the page open in a different tab...

    Edit edit. Oh, I can post in some other posts, but in certain other posts it gives me that message. Something is wrong here...

    My post is still ready... And we're nearing the 24 hour mark too...

    The post has some links though (7, 2 from TwitterX, 1 from the official The Sims site, 4 from YouTube).

    I just want everything to carry over before it's truly late.


    Ok. I'll ask it straight from the community. Can anyone post there? Or am I the only one blocked out?

    I don't think you'll ever be allowed to post that. It appears like any post in which you used copy paste is blocked from being posted. Think it is an anti spam feature.

    just noticed something: post were migrated with no more than 1 like (no matter how many you got here)

    You can also take a look there who liked your post.

    In the posts migrated, the person who gave that 1 like was the person that posted it.

    I love this. I've always wanted to know who likes me and who thinks I brimming with knowledge and super insightful! o:):)

    I really hope they clean up the 10yr old posts in the threads.

    Page Numbers Please. No more scrolling.

    I like that seeing who liked feature too. Here, it's hidden to the regular users. Ah, when that great mod power chaos was around the years back, it was interesting taking a look who reacted how with that accidental mod powers...

    Gonna say, I'm not a fan of using tags in place of sub-forums. In my experience, people will either not remember to use them (guilty) or misuse them - either by using too many tags to try to get more eyes on it, or else by just guessing wrong about what tags should be used. On top of that, there's the question of can we make our own tags? If not, what if none of the current tags feel appropriate? (I didn't see a speculation tag, for example) if so, things will inevitably get lost as people make tags that are similar to, but not exactly the same as, existing tags.

    So right now, the new forums are a mixed up mess, as far as I'm concerned, which makes them uninviting. I only use the discord as a replacement for twitter for Sims announcements, so that's not an option for me either. (it's a pain in the neck to find old information on Discord, especially on active channels when "old" can be as little as six hours ago.)

    Ah well, I will survive.

    I agree, Unfortunately it is not very user friendly at all & hard on the eyes with the layout and the way the replies are laid out as well. Guess it will take some getting used to. And I don't like that not everyone can have a custom picture now : (

    Edit to ask: Are linked images showing up in the Creative section?

    They did not migrate after all. The link url appears but the image does not.

    I noticed on a thread of mine - sharing creations...there isn't a single picture there. How sad : (
    Also, there is a popular 'share your newest the sims 4 creations' thread that I can not seem to find

    I'm an extremely sensitive, intuitive simmer and I could feel him channeling me through all those excessive Zoom meetings. I had to speak for him.

    Some it did allow. So, copy-paste isn't a problem.

    My next guess is the links...

    I guess I'll try staying up and hand-writing everything there...

    I am really going to prefer Answers HQ over that...

    The one size fits all forum was not built for the community. It was built for community managers.

    One way to get rid of a creative community such as the sims community is to unwelcome said community to your fancy new, very non-creative forum and call it a day. Well done lads.

    Seriously though, I hope the feedback on here and AHQ 2.0 will be taken on board, I truly, TRULY hope so. Don't just say "we hear you".
    A drastic change is needed in order to make the new forum a welcome and enjoyable place. I have my challenges, sure, but I don't find it too difficult to adapt to a new environment. That forum though...

    I don't even like complaining, I'm a happy go lucky dude, - but come on, we shouldn't even be having a conversation about friggin' avatars and signatures and features that ought to be there by default. Yet here we are.This forum is so much easier to navigate, yet little to none of the good stuff this platform has to offer was adopted.

    Please PLEASE make it work for the storytellers, the photographers, the builders, the sims creators, and the people that love to have passionate discussions about new content or just want to enage in a bit of off topic banter.

    This ain't it.

    Aye, I also left feedback on the AHQ Two. 💚

    Well that's annoying. I frequently compose my longer posts in another document so I can think about them before posting and then copy and paste the text in.

    --EDIT Update: I just re-posted my feedback comments from this thread onto the feedback thread on the new site that we were directed to use. I copied the text from here to a separate document, and then copied it from that document onto the new thread. It worked just fine. It even preserved my formatting and I was able to post the comment without any problem. So it doesn't appear that we are being blocked from copy and paste.

    That's why I couldn't find it. OMG thank you.^_^

    Yes its such a pain, i think alot nominated threads ended up there!! Hope they can be moved back to their correct sections!!

    So how do you get to the link? Eventually this site will be shut down and I won't be able to keep coming back to get it. Where did you find it?

    @GraceyManor, here is the link to the new site.

    I re-posted my comments from this thread onto the Feedback thread on the page @EA_Cade indicated for us. It posted fine. But after posting I was unable to "like" anyone else's comments. It just kept giving me an error message and not updating that person's "like" count. I attempted to post another comment on the same thread to mention this problem, but that also got an error message and did not post.

    The new forum feels extremely glitchy. And if all that was on purpose... why? It just makes it really hard to interact with people.
