Re: How can I change my Sims3.com username? Is there any way to?

@mooncosmics  No, sorry, there isn't a way to change your username on that site.  It might have been possible in the past, but the EA community managers have confirmed that it's not anymore.

Re: Please, please let us change our Sims 3 specific ID.

@elsieairhead  I'm sorry that it isn't possible to change the ID.  It hasn't been for a long time, if it ever was.  And since the related sites are no longer being updated, this is unlikely to change.

 

I wish I had a better answer.

Sorry to hear your current username brings back undesired memories @elsieairhead, it's the opposite of what we would want.

puzzlezaddict is right, unfortunately: when advisors are telling you no it's not because they don't want to help. Once a name is chosen for a The Sims 3 account, we cannot change it.

While I understand this doesn't help you with The Sims 3, when designing The Sims 4 this was improved. The Sims 4 uses your EA Account ID and so can be updated at any time. But as you can see, The Sims 3 was built using a completely different system.

Anyone have an answer for this yet? My username has my dead name in it and it's kinda ridiculous that I can't change it :/ it shouldn't be this difficult to do. Just takes a simple change from EA

@OswinLightwood  I've merged your post with a more current thread on the same issue.  Please see EA_Mai's post immediately above yours.

Change Sims 3 username

Hello! I was wondering if I could change my Sims 3 username to match my new Origin name. I thought it would change automatically, but it did not. Thank you!

Re: Change Sims 3 username

@simygdala  If you mean your username on www.thesims3.com or store.thesims3.com , then no, it's not possible to change that regardless of your other account details.  Even EA customer support can't change it.  Sorry.

Change The Sims 3 Store Username

★ Novice

Hello!

I contacted Support about Username change from The Sims 3 Store. They told me that they couldn't do this but that it was to get in touch here that it might be possible to make this change.

 

This is the situation: my Origin account has a different nick from the user who is in The Sims 3 store and I wanted both to have the same name. Would it be possible?

Re: Change The Sims 3 Store Username

@LoboMetalurgico  It's not possible to change your Sims 3 Store username, sorry.  I've asked EA community managers about this more than once, and the answer is that there's no way for either a user or support to change it.
