Uploading Requirements
• Creations must be uploaded to a cloud file hosting service such as MediaFire or 4Shared. When uploading your work, make sure you let members know what expansion packs and stuff packs are required to download your creations. Not doing so can result in a game crash and bad feedback on your creations. You need to also let members know if you have any cc in your creations, and if so, post a list of the cc and links to the cc, as some cc may need a mesh to show up in game. You must also give credit to the cc creators. Lots must be play tested before uploading to avoid any issues for the members downloading them.
• When taking pictures of any of your creations, especially lots, please do not take pictures in build or buy mode. We do not want to see any grid lines in your pictures of your creations, as it does not make the lot appealing and presentable. It's easiest to take pics of your lots at the same time you are play testing with a sim. You want to show off your work in an appealing way so members will download it. The grid lines on a lot's pics can be a massive distraction away from your beautiful work. If any grid lines are found on any Sims 2, Sims 3, or Sims 4 lot images, we will ask you to retake and reupload the pictures. Make sure you get good clean closeups of each room. Small pictures make any lot look bad, so make sure the pics are not too small and easy to see. Put a nice frame around your images to really set them off. Frames are not required, but they make the pictures look more appealing.
•All images for your uploads must be no wider than 800 pixels, but can be any reasonable length. You may upload as many images as you like, as there is no limit in how many you can upload.
