 *'''Clear:''' Textures should be crisp - not blurry or pixelated.
 *'''Scale:''' The texture scale should make sense for the game.  A terrain paint shouldn't have leaves the size of pool tables, or flowers the size of a sim's head.  Compare the texture to a sim's head or hand, and make sure the scale is correct.

 * '''A picture of each texture''', shown over several tiles.  This means showing at least 3 tiles of wall, or 2x2 tiles of floor.
-* '''CASt Presets:''' It's a nice idea to show any special presets you have made and we do require that objects have at least one preset that makes sense. For example: when it's a sofa pillow, preset shouldn't be wood + masonry ;)
+* '''CASt Presets:''' Please show the default presets for your wall or floor. Of course, this is not required for terrain paints. :)
-* '''Show mapping and channels:''' Showing the walls/floors in multiple colours (to show how the channels work) and at least one picture per item with a tiling pattern that makes it obvious that your UV map is not distorted.  Use a plaid or checker pattern for this - it may not be the prettiest style for the wall, but it will show that it takes patterns well.
+* '''Show channels:''' Show the walls/floors in multiple colours (to show how the channels work).
 * '''Unobstructed:''' You can put things like a couch, a window, or a plant, but make sure they're not in the way of your wall, floor, or terrain paint.

		+	* '''CAStability:''' Objects should be made as versatile as possible with the channel options, and the location of the channels should make sense. "Fixed" or "unrecolourable" textures (that is textures which are not changeable in Create-a-Style) should be offered as an additional option, not as the only option. The patterns you use should make sense on a wall or floor.

	*'''Paintings and Logos:''' Most of the time, it's best to do these as recolours of objects (i.e. make them a picture your sims can hang on the wall, not the wall itself).		*'''Paintings and Logos:''' Most of the time, it's best to do these as recolours of objects (i.e. make them a picture your sims can hang on the wall, not the wall itself).
