    @mcrudd I always read your name as McRudd and thought it was a shared account between family members and just was using the last name

    I do share my account with my daughter if she plays sims, not so much since she started Uni, but my profile name has been mcrudd since I think sims 2 days, I was known as Simaholic for a while, but mcrudd is used almost everywhere even not sims related sites as well. It is real interesting to see how others read it though ;)

    I'm guilty too, but I'm a little off to one side of that. I don't say Mac, I say Mick.😊

    Hahahaha well at least not a mc donalds order for you then :D

    Part of that is a lot of Americans say "Let's eat at Micky D's", not Mac Donalds. The people I know are about 50/50 on that. When I see Mc I think of Mc Donald's and I'm in the Micky D's camp so Mc just automatically becomes Mick in my head.😁 This has been hugely entertaining and enlightening, and now we know how to say you're name correctly. It's a win-win-win.

    I'm in the "Mick" camp too. Micky D's and McDonald's pronounced as "Mick" not "Mac".

    MacDonalds does not sound right to me at all. :D

    Edit: I'm from Pennsylvania, but grew up in the south and always pronounced it that way.
    Just in case no one has told you today, you are loved. <3

    It feels like this Mick-Mac thing is starting to take on a life of its own.

    I need help!

    I realized that I had two EA accounts. So I tried changing my email to make it match the one that I actually use to play the game from. But then when I went to change my email here on the forums it says I don't have permission to do that?

    So I tried changing it on the ea forums, but now it says I can't change it because I've already changed it.

    So now they don't match and I need help. Lol. Please help. Thank you. :D

    I was scared of something like that happening if I changed my username.
    I'm actually glad that I couldn't.
    I don't want anything to get messed up and I can't get back in!
    Good luck :)

    @EA_Cade
    A few questions about the new forum site:
    1. Will it be light or dark mode, and if it's dark mode, could I switch to light mode. I can't read dark mode.
    2. Will we be able to adjust the size of the text on our screens, or at least zoom in. I can't zoom in on answers HQ, and I find the writting on that and Reddit to be too small, but at least I can zoom in on Reddit. I struggle with small fonts and would like to be able to make it bigger.
    3. Will replies to someone's comment be inside a reply section (like Reddit and Facebook do), rather than having to quote them and reply in the post. It will also make it easier to read when the discussion gets slightly off track, then I could skip that and move straight onto the next comment.
    4. Will my forum account automatically transfer, or will I have to create a new account.

    I'm hoping we have a dark theme available but regardless of that we wouldn't force it to be used as this is an accessibility issue.

    Thankyou.
    That's a releif to hear.

    And yeah, my second question could be something to do with my tablet, but AHQ wasn't letting me zoom in the other day.

    Thank you for answering so promptly 🙂

    Sul Sul,

    Sharing some additional details here on the steps @EA_Solaire and I are taking on our side to preserve the legacy of these forums.
    Over the past 3 days we've been reaching out to several members of this community to offer them a place in our Community Connections Program on Answers HQ and the new EA forums.

    This ensures both that they have direct lines to myself and EA, and the best resources available to them to keep doing exactly what they've been doing here on AHQ and eventually on our new EA forums.

    Before I give these posters their flowers, I want to make it absolutely clear that this is not a "these are the only folks here that deserve recognition" list; rather, this is a chance for me to recognize the posters here that make losing this forum mean something to the rest of us. Posters who have been here sharing their thoughts, builds, reviews, wants and wishes, stories, or even just kind words for years and years. The heart and soul of what in my opinion, made this forum special to all of us.

    All that being said, I'm happy to share that so far we've been able to add @simgirl1010, @Lisasc360, @Ellupelluellu, @soocoolsim, @Simmingal, @rosemow, @BreeMiles, @luckyheather, @EnkiSchmidt, @DaniRose2143 and @Bluegayle to our ranks on Answers HQ, and we're currently in talks with several others as well.

    Thank you all, for everything you do.

    Adding @Bluegayle to the list :)

    Congrats @DaniRose2143 and @Bluegayle and all the other earlier champions. It was such a surprise and honour for me too.

    Thanks everyone for your kind comments. Looking forward to the new forums and your ongoing participation to keep our community a fun and welcoming hangout. 😀

    Well... this announcement isn't as bad as I thought it would be after reading the comments. I'm really glad that we are still going to have a forum, because that's really the only place for me to share silly posts and feedback about The Sims, as I'm not a lover of social media.

    Luckily, my username for AHQ/EA Account is already the same as it is on here. I'm looking forward to seeing the new forums!
    Sims 4 Wish List:
    • > Option to toggle on/off random townie generation.
    • > Turn vacation worlds into residential worlds.
    • > Option to purchase separate worlds or a world pack.
    • > Sleepwear kit.
    • > Atomic age kit.

    That's great.
    Unfortunately my name here is already in use by someone else at AHQ, so I'll revert back to my old one once our home here closes its doors - hence my siggie 😊

    Thankyou for your lovely message @DaniRose2143 :) It is beautiful and special what you wrote. I can’t believe that I am a part of the group also. All members of the simming community though are here to support, encourage, help and have fun with fellow simmers. Thankyou very much to every simmer who posts on this and the new forums, and makes it a special simming community :)
