How to Do a Bug Report?

★ Apprentice

I am obviously in the bug report section but the usual "what product" "what platform" etc. isn't happening? How do I turn that on??? Also when my sim is in the left corner when it shows the emotion and moodlet and things, the blush is always wrong. It's always the default swatch and opacity and makes my sims look like they have * rosacea.

@UrLocalS8nist It doesn't' always show as it's a bit buggy.

Just add the questions manually (you can find it on the first post of this thread or any other bug report) if you're not prompted.

I don't know why it's so important that something is open. Maxis have their own system and everything in the bug forum is on their plate as long as it matches THEIR criteria.

I have said this many many times.

The best would probably be just to get rid if it entirely but the system stems from older times when Maxis wasn't as involved in the bug forum as they are now and it would be even more confusing to change it now.

On the compiled list, it says you can search for your username to find the posts that I have created. 

This doesn't seem to be a thing anymore??

@rory_nutt No, i removed that as it didn't server any purpose anymore.

Guess I forgot to remove it from the instructions.

Can you give me a link to the post it's in so I don't have to go search for it ?

@rory_nutt I've updated the post. There was some other outdated stuff.

That post is always a bit of a gamble to edit cause of the template popping up although it seems safe these days.

Hi Guys

 

today the AHQ team announced that Answers HQ is moving to EA ForumsThis is currently planned for February 2025. Currently there aren't any changes for the bug forum here so please just continue to report your issues here as before.

 

There is one difference though: I am dropping the [OPEN] tag as per today. I wont' be removing any but I also won't be adding any new ones.

EA Forums currently has it's own bug forum where I've been testing it's functionality the past few weeks. It has it's own tagging system which is much clearer then the one here. The tags here all stem from a time when there was no QA presence at AHQ and was a way of showing popular threads. Much has changed over the years and I feel I'm at a point where I no longer want to do the extra work on something I'm having constant discussions about so I'm dropping OPEN. All other current tags will stay as they show the actual QA status of the thread (except workaround but that's to highlight something). 

 

I will continue to work as I have before except for this change. Please refer to this thread for current info on the bug forum: [INFORMATION] How does this forum work ?

Good Luck
Crin

I'm not sure where to report a small mistake with the names of neighborhoods being mixed-up in an aspiration mission in a non-English version of the game, as it's not a bug per se, but it does interfere with gameplay. Where can I report it?

@pixelsaphire There's dedicated threads for language string issues.

You can find them listed on post 2 of the compiled list (Various Text and Translation Errors): https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/READ-FIRST-Compiled-list-of-reported-Issues/m-p/6373833#M22383...

 

If there isn't a thread for your language yet, let me know.

Good Luck
