We strongly encourage you to make use of our Creator Feedback forum (http://www.modthesims.info/forumdisplay.php?f=473) to get tips and help in polishing up your creation up a little more, as you have a very nice start going... just needs a little more work and it will likely be able to be accepted. If you need further help, make sure to check the tutorials in our Create (http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=MTS2:Create) section, and you can ask specific questions in the appropriate sub-forum if there's something you're stuck on.

We advise you to take the time to read the various tutorials we have here on the site, or to post your creation in the Creator Feedback forum (http://www.modthesims.info/forumdisplay.php?f=473) so that others can help you improve it.

Revision as of 15:57, 11 August 2011

A handy little page under construction by moderators. This will help in understanding what moderators are looking for, what changes required (CR) messages you might get, and what the reasoning behind rejections are.

Do NOT edit if you are not a staff member. Thank you :D

Contents


Introduction

Nearly everyone has had an upload marked with "changes required" or has been rejected at one point or another. Most of the time, these reasons are due to people not being careful with information in their posts. However, uploaders are often surprised when they get, what appears to be, an automated message tagged onto their submitted upload. This page is made specifically to tell you all of the things we look for while moderating. Think of it like the creator guidelines, but from the moderators viewpoint. Now that you can see all of these reasons for rejecting, we hope that there will be a lot less confusion on your end when we say "You need more info in your post" or "This needs a bit more work."

Before Reading this Article

This article is created as a complimentary part to the "Creator Guidelines." The information in here will be next to useless if you have not read the rules first.
