after years of not playing the sims 1 and 2 i was surprised to see them both on Steam. Even though i do have both sets for both on CD (except UNI)!!! I am also surprised my account still existed here but was inactive... let me tell you its been a pain to reactive... same with forums section.. and still having issues in forums not being able to post even though i reactivated my account by getting new pw and am now logged in. forums still say i am not allowed to do anything.

Which forums specifically? Because you're just posted in Site Issues, which itself is a forum. So that usually means there aren't any general issues with your account, so I'd need some more specifics.
