This doesn't apply to non-required items (i.e. hair shown in a picture where you're uploading clothing) though. If the status changes, you will not be made to take new screen shots.  If you don't like this possibility, please choose a different item to use in your sim, lot, and world uploads.

[edit] Pay Content

MTS has long had policies that restrict users from promoting pay content in their uploads - either by requiring that content, or by showing it in screenshots.

The purpose of this policy is to promote the use of free content, as we believe that the community benefits from all items being free to download and use without requiring anyone to pay for it - whether that be paying for individual items, or by subscription. We would like all items uploaded to or shown on MTS to be "what you see is what you get" or "what you see is what you CAN get, without having to pay for it."
