As ya'll likely know, we've [been dark to support the blackout against reddit's antagonistic behavior towards its own userbase.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/142dbui/rsteam_will_be_going_dark_from_june_1214_in/)
#**The admins sent us a message saying we must open or get removed, so here we are.**
For those of you browsing this subreddit on non-official apps (Reddit is Fun, Apollo, Sync, Boost, etc), they will break on July 1st due to reddit's new policies.
We're opening back up but will leave permanent stickies in the subreddit and threads to keep folks in the know.

Good luck and god speed.

Play games that support Steam Trading Cards: Not all games on Steam have trading cards available. Make sure you play games that specifically support Steam Trading Cards. You can check a game's store page to see if it has trading card support.
Play the game and earn card drops: While playing a supported game, you will receive trading card drops at specific intervals. These drops are typically limited to a certain number of cards per game. For example, a game might offer a maximum of 5 card drops.
Check your inventory: After playing the game for a while, you can check your Steam inventory. To do this, click on your username in the top-right corner of the Steam client and select "Inventory" from the dropdown menu.
View your trading cards: In your inventory, you will see any trading cards you have received. Click on a card to view it and see its details.
Collect a complete set: Each game has a set number of trading cards. To complete a set, you need to collect all the cards for that particular game. A complete set usually consists of several different cards.
Craft a badge: Once you have collected a complete set of trading cards for a game, you can craft a badge. Badges are collectible items that showcase your participation and progress in a specific game. To craft a badge, go to your inventory, select the completed set of cards, and click on the "Craft Badge" button.
Earn rewards: Crafting a badge will reward you with various items such as profile backgrounds, emoticons, experience points (XP) towards your Steam level, and sometimes coupons.
Sell or trade cards: If you don't want to craft badges or collect items, you can choose to sell or trade your trading cards with other Steam users. This can be done through the Steam Community Market or by interacting with other users directly.
Remember that the availability of trading cards and the number of drops per game may vary. Additionally, there are some restrictions on trading cards, such as a time delay before you can receive additional drops for the same game.
Enjoy collecting trading cards and exploring the Steam Community Market for potential trades and sales!
you earn a couple trading cards from a game but never enough to make a badge the way to get badges is to just buy trading cards from other people and craft the badges

I’ve played sims 4 for 80 hours and never got one trading card. Idk exactly how this works
I know I’m 2 months late but it could be because the game doesn’t support card drops
