So I have read a ton of these comments, like 12 pages I think, but I am still missing key things, that everyone else understands, so I feel kinda dumb. What is AHQ? Should I get an account on that? Where do I go to do so? Is there a link somewhere that I missed?
Thanks guys π
All my daily trances, and all my nightly dreams, are where thy grey eye glances, and where thy footstep gleams.
I dance to the beat of my own drum, no matter how measured or far away.
I do love a road. You can always be wondering what is at the end of it.
Hello @fujicakes1 AHQ is a βsisterβ site to this forum ( that is what EA_Cade called it and I like the way he described ) The link to the Sims section of it is https://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims/ct-p/the-sims
You can sign into it using your EA account. If your email address for your AHQ account and your account that you use on these forums are the same, then your threads and posts from this forum will transfer over to the new forums.
You can sign into it on the top right hand corner of the link that I posted.
And you are not dumb at all! It is good to ask questions when you are a bit unsure about things.
Ok I already had an account apparently. My username is LaunchSneezes. So I will need to somehow let people know who I am I suppose. Will we be able to choose our own avatar eventually or is it always just one of the community ones? The email is the same so everything should be fine there π

I actually like LaunchSneezes lol, because I have cosplayed as Launch and I think sheβs an awesome character. Iβll keep it as that and hopefully it will be ok. π«£

@EA_Cade There is something that confuses me in the answers to the many questions about AHQ profile and Forum profiles.
I have always used my EA account to log into AHQ. Should I create a profile in AHQ in addition to my EA profile? I don't see it being possible to add a username anywhere.
@MonaSolstraale Itβs been a while since I set up my account on AHQ, but it should be the same EA account you use for this forum.
Here are some details from @EA_Cade that might help.
How to Ensure Your Content from The Sims Forums Will Be Migrated Over
1. Please check the email address(s) associated with your The Sims Forums account. Is this the same email address on your EA account?
If no, please proceed to step 2
If yes, please jump ahead to step 3
2. If the email on your The Sims Forums account does not match the email on your EA account OR if you do not have an EA account, please modify the email addresses to ensure they are matching on both accounts OR please create an EA account with a matching email address.
3. Please ensure you have an account on Answers HQ. You can do so by signing in or registering on Answers HQ with your EA account. Your account on Answers HQ will be carried over to the new EA forums site.
4. Once this is complete and youβve ensured your The Sims Forums and EA accounts have matching email addresses AND that youβve signed into Answers HQ with your EA account, then your The Sims Forums content will be migrated over onto the new forums site whenever it goes live and the content will be associated with your forums account.
Your EA account should be how you log into answers hq, AHQ, and your profile should be something you create in the AHQ site.
Iβll see if I can find more details later if an answer isnβt already made available. I feel like screenshots might be the most helpful, so Iβll see what I can do later tonight to help with that.
It is precisely the sentence crossed out in yellow that confuses me. I only use my EA profile. I do not see where in AHQ you can add a profile name.
My profile and email are the same both on my EA profile and here.
@Metior_Ice Thanks. I think I'm ok. My username appears in the top bar when I log in.
I have made a screen print of the options I have to create a profile in AHQ. Maybe it's because I already have a profile that I only have these options.
NB: I have no desire to share this information so I think I will leave things as they are.
Will we lose all the Sims challenges!? I haven't completed the hundreds of them yet! Is there a way to get that whole discussion thread of challenges to transfer over?
If there are sims challenges that you would like to have moved over to the new forums @pameler417 you can nominate them in the nominations thread. There are some that have already been nominated.
Let's say I log on here the day before the launch of the new forum, and everything is normal, but the next day is the launch... Will I automatically be ported over to the new forum, or will I have to re-register???
Just out of interest; how do I stop email notices every time someone awards me an XP at AHQ, I just looked at my emails and I've been flooded with notifications.
I thought I'd turned notifications off π€

Go to your user name in the upper right, click the down arrow, go to setting, subscriptions and notifications and you can turn them off in there.

Your EA ID will be used as username on the new forums that is the nick you have here
As long as your email here and on answers HQ matches your posts/discussions will transfer over as well
(given the discussion was started after October 18, 2022 and your post was not made after March 12, 2024.)
As for editing things in your profile page or avatar/signature
we don't know yet what kinds of tools new forum will have
but on Answers HQ uploading profile picture and signature is locked to Champion rank
Hope that clears things out

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.

Thanks guys π

The best I can suggest at the moment is to:
1. Log into Answers HQ
2. Click the 3 lines next to where it says Menu
3. Click where it say Profile
In the profile section, you should be able to set up the Profile there or edit as needed.
I have made a screen print of the options I have to create a profile in AHQ. Maybe it's because I already have a profile that I only have these options.

Maybe I was unsure because of some language confusion, but your answer made things completely clear to me.
Added @Metior_Ice to the list
I believe we have 1 more coming...
