MTS2:Creator Guidelines/Body Shop

Creator Guidelines - Body Shop

If you are uploading clothing, genetics or Skinning items.

• All uploads must include a screen shot taken from with in the game. Body Shop photos are NOT allowed. Close ups are good things. If you make eyes be sure to get a close up of the eyes. As well as make up and the like.
• Clothing downloads should not look pixelated or blurry. If your clothing appears blurry please use the sharpen tool while you are creating to make your image cleaner. You may also want to read through some of the wonderful tutorials on the site to make your clothing as perfect as possible.

Faylen's Clothing tutorial is a great place to start.

Clothing Tutorials

• Any clothing with sexual or adult language should be uploaded to the adults forum. Please do not include photos that show nudity.

• If you are creating new clothing, it must be unique in the sense that taking a paint tool and coloring a pair of jeans bright solid red is not good quality and will be rejected as well. Again if you use a new clothing mesh and make a recolor you can not include the mesh with your clothing. Leave a link for people to obtain the mesh and post only your recolor.

• Please remember that pictures will sell your upload. Be sure to take close up shots of your items, in well lit areas, so people have a great idea of how your item is going to look in their game.

Category-Downloads>Clothing>Clothing Recolors>Female>Adult
(Make sure you select the correct gender and age group for clothing)

Title - Cute Pink Summer Dress
(Be descriptive in your title)

Description: (Make a cute little description here of your item) An outfit for you here today. This is a Beautiful dress for Adult Female sims. Will show in Everyday and Formal categories. It was made from an original Maxis mesh and will work on all versions of the game.

Note: Be sure to mention which version of the game the item was made from so people know whether it is compatible or not with their game, and state the age and categories your clothing will show up in. In addition-If you have recolored a mesh someone else has made, be sure to give credit to the original mesh creator and a link to the mesh so people can download that. Otherwise your recolor will not show up in their game*

Pictures to Include

• A full shot of the item IN GAME
• A close up to show the detail work as well.

Take your photos outside of your sim homes to allow the best possible lighting.

If you follow the guidelines posted above, you will guarantee yourself an approval. If you receive a rejection of any kind, it is because a certain criteria was not met. In that event, please re-read the guidelines.

Skins and Eyes

For skins, make up and eyes, pictures are VERY IMPORTANT. You want to be as close as possible and in well lit areas.

Note for Skins: You want to make sure to let people know if your skin is for all ages or which specific ages you've recolored. And you want to show how the skin appears on all ages of a sim.

These are pictures taken from posts here at MTS2 that are a perfect example of what to include with your uploads.
