	* '''In-game:''' Pictures must be taken actually in-game, on a lot. It is not enough to just show pictures taken in Homecrafter, or to just show the textures without also showing in-game pics.		* '''In-game:''' Pictures must be taken actually in-game, on a lot.

	* '''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.		* '''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.

		+	* '''Angle:''' Please take pictures at an angle that show your creation clearly. As far as possible, screenshots should be taken face-on - from directly in front of the wall, or top-down for floors and ground cover.

 *'''Brightness:''' Neon or bright colours are fine, but don't go too bright - 80% saturation is usually plenty for even neon textures, but more just looks blinding!

 *'''Undistorted:''' Make sure the textures are not stretched or squashed.  Use the correct aspect ratio.  Please note that if wall textures are made at the template size of 256x512, they will be distorted in-game (if you make a circle, it'll turn into an oval).  You must make your textures at 256x768 and then resize them to 256x512 before importing into Homecrafter for them to look correct in-game.

 Upload .package files - do not make sims2packs.  It's not necessary, and creates extra steps for people to install them - it is very easy to go get the package files from your downloads folder. Also please give the filenames recognizable names. (See message #6 in [http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=147840 this] tutorial for exact instructions)
