|The following listed items are those that are not allowed on MTS in any category. Most of it is fairly straightforward like no adult content, no pirated Store content, etc., but we also don't allow uploads that require pay content, so please click "more info" on the box below to see the full list.

*'''Nudity''': Any item containing visible nudity - that is, screenshots showing female nipples or genitals of either gender. This includes fine art containing those types of nudity. Items of a sexual nature and skintones with anatomically correct genitals are also not allowed here. Please upload items of this type to our adult site. If you are uploading a skintone that is "barbie" below the waist, please blur or censor the areas that would be covered by a bikini for your uploaded screenshots, even if your sims do not have anatomical details like nipples in the blurred areas.
+
'''Everything required or recommended for an upload must be freely available, without having to pay.'''
  
*'''Adult content:'''Items with specifically sexual content (sex toys, sexual poses, etc.), as well as items containing swear/curse words, are considered adult content and thus are only allowed at our adult site, not on MTS.  Sexy items such as skimpy lingerie, miniskirts, low-cut tops, nighties, corsets, bustiers, etc., are also not considered adult content unless they, as well as transsexual/transgender items, are not considered adult content unless they also contain actual nudity.
+
* '''No uploads requiring pay content''':  We do not host content (for example, recolours of a pay hair or object mesh) that absolutely require pay content to function in-game.
  
*'''Illegal drugs''': Items relating to illegal drugs do not belong on MTS. You -may- post items relating to prescription and over-the-counter drugs, as well as alcohol and tobacco on MTS, but items related to illegal drugs should go on our adult site.
+
* '''No optional pay, pirated, or stolen content:''' Even for optional or recommended content not absolutely required for the creation to work (for example, hair on a sim or a couch on a lot), this means:
 +
** No content you must pay for. This means you cannot use items that are pay, donation, subscriber only, "special gift", etc. type content, anything accessible only when you pay money or subscribe. 
 +
** No content from sites that are repositories of unmodified content when it is still available from the original creator, whether these items are pay or free (no Booty or Simscave, torrents, sites full of stolen content or similar, but the Graveyard and sites that offer recolours or modifications with the mesh are okay).
 +
** No EA content simply converted to base game use with no other changes.
 +
** No pirated EA Store content. EA Store content, linked to the legitimate EA Store, is okay though. TS2 store content may be included, with proper credit, since the store is no longer available.
  
*'''Sexualized children''': Toddler sims are portrayed around 2-3 years old, and child sims appear to be about 7-8 years old. We do not allow any content that sexualizes children in any way - no breasts whatsoever on child sims, no revealing/adult outfits or sexy anything. If you want to make preteens, make a less developed body for teen sims. Sexualized child content is not allowed at our adult site either.
+
|-
 +
! style="text-align:left" | Other content not allowed
 +
|-
 +
|
  
*'''Offensive content''': Racist, sexist, bigoted, hateful, or otherwise offensive content will not be allowed. Again, also not allowed at our adult site.
+
*'''Items that belong on the adult site''': No content posted on MTS can have visible nudity, sexual content, or adult content, and instead must be posted on our adult site, [http://www.sexysims2.com Sexy Sims]. This means on MTS, you may not post:
 +
** Content that contains nudity, which we define as exposing the female nipples, or the butt crack/genitals of either gender, including semi-transparent stuff like a sheer bra.  Items that are merely "sexy" like skimpy miniskirts or string bikinis are fine on MTS.  Transsexual/transgender items are also not considered adult content unless they contain nudity.
 +
** Skintones containing genital details - female nipples are okay on MTS but see below regarding screenshots.
 +
** Images of skintones with uncensored female nipples.  Please blur or cover the nipples, butt crack, and genital area when taking screenshots of your skintones.
 +
** Fine art uploads containing visible nudity.
 +
** Items with specifically sexual content (sex toys, sexual poses).
 +
** Items containing swear/curse words
 +
** Items relating to illegal drugs.  Prescription and over-the-counter drugs, alcohol, and tobacco are okay on MTS though.
  
* '''EXE installers''': Creators are not allowed to post exe (or other executable) files for any area of the site but Modding Tools. If your content needs to be installed to a certain directory, you can compress your files and leave the directory structure intact, so you can tell people to just install to Program Files, for instance, and the files will go where they need to. Executable installers can easily hold viruses, and are generally not needed for installing most content.
+
*'''Sexualized children''': We do not allow any sexy/sexualized content for baby, toddler, or child sims in any way - no breasts whatsoever on child sims, no "sexy" outfits, etc. If you want to make preteens, make a less developed body for teen sims. Sexualized child content is not allowed at our adult site either.
  
* '''Uploads with pay content''': Uploads should not include or require any pay content. At MTS, we promote the use of free content, and our policies reflect that. Please use all free or Maxis content in your screenshots and uploads.  Content from the Store is fine to use as long as you can provide a link for downloaders to get it if they choose.  See here for more details: [[MTS2:Creator Guidelines/Regarding Pictured or Required Pay Content|Regarding Required Pay Content]]
+
*'''Offensive content''': Racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, bigoted, hateful or otherwise offensive content will not be allowed. Again, also not allowed at our adult site.
  
* '''Preorder bonus content:''' Certain items were only available if you preordered certain expansions or stuff packs from certain retailers. If you missed out on these items, we're very sorry, but redistributing them is a violation of international copyright law and will not be allowed on this site.
+
*'''Gore/violence''': We do not allow uploads which feature prominent, graphic violence and/or gore. Examples of things we do not allow would include items centred around mass shootings, images showing explicit violent imagery, cannibalism, and infanticide. Limited violence and gore may be featured if not the dominant focus of the upload, and not excessively graphic. Think a PG-13 movie. If uncertain whether your upload crosses this line, we suggest making a thread in the Creator Issues forum asking for feedback from a moderator before uploading.
  
* '''Unmodified EP/SP/Store content:''' While it is common practice to modify and use bits and pieces of game content to create custom content, extracting content from an expansion, stuff pack, or Store item and uploading it unmodified is not allowed on this site.  You are welcome to upload significantly modified versions of expansion, stuff pack, or Store content, but you can't just be ripping it and changing one tiny thing (or nothing) just so people who didn't purchase it can still use it.  Please do not link to sites with Store or expansion/stuff pack content for free either.
+
* '''EXE installers''': Creators are not allowed to post exe (or other executable) files for any area of the site but Modding Tools. If your content needs to be installed to a certain directory, you can compress your files and leave the directory structure intact, so you can tell people to just install to Program Files, for instance, and the files will go where they need to. Executable installers can easily hold viruses, and are generally not needed for installing most content.
  
*'''Converted Game content''': You can freely modify Sims 2 or Sims 3 meshes and textures for use in Sims 2/Sims 3, and EA doesn't seem to mind TS2-to-TS3 or TS3-to-TS2 conversions of game/store content.  However, you may not use meshes and textures from any other game to make Sims 2/3 content to upload without permission from the original creator - i.e. the company that made the game you're taking pieces from. As it is extremely unlikely any company would give permission for such use, unless they contact a moderator first saying it's okay for you to do, any content using bits and pieces from other games will not be allowed here.
+
* '''Preorder bonus content:''' Certain items were only available if you preordered certain expansions or stuff packs from certain retailers. It's unfortunate if someone missed out on getting them, but they can't be redistributed here as EA has made it clear that they do not allow it.
 +

* '''Unmodified EP/SP/Store content:''' While it is common practice to modify and use bits and pieces of game content to create custom content, extracting content from an expansion, stuff pack, or Store item and uploading it unmodified is not allowed on this site.  You are welcome to upload significantly modified versions of expansion, stuff pack, or Store content, but you can't just be ripping it and changing one tiny thing (or nothing) just so people who didn't purchase it can still use it.
  
 
* '''Stolen/reuploaded content''': This should go without saying, but do not upload content made by others and claim it as your own, in whole or in part.  Don't upload the work of someone else without their permission... if they wanted to share it at MTS, they can easily upload it here themselves.

* '''Uncredited content/violating permissions:''' If any part of what you have uploaded (mesh, textures, alphas, bump maps, coding, etc.) comes from another user's work, you MUST provide a link and credit in the text of your post, for the original creator.  State what you've used of theirs, their creator name, and give a link back to them.  Please check the creator's policies to make sure you can do this - if they're still active and contactable, get their permission if their policies require it or don't state anything.  If they've gone inactive/disappeared, you may be allowed to upload a modification of their work with credit.  We will follow the creator's wishes if they have policies stated.  Please see here for more details: [http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=426734 Upload Policy Changes: Updates and Remixes of Broken/Abandoned Creations]. Artistic karma is important to us, as it should be to you as a creator - it's so easy to offer a link and credit to people who have contributed in a substantial way to your work, so please make sure you do so when you post here.

* '''Uncredited content/violating permissions:''' If any part of what you have uploaded (mesh, textures, alphas, bump maps, coding, etc.) comes from somebody else's work, you MUST provide a link and credit in the text of your post, for the original author.  State what you've used of theirs, the author's name, and give a link back to them.  You must check the author's policies to see if you can use their content in the way you want, and you may not violate any policies stated.  If there are no policies or they don't disallow your type of usage, or the site is permanently offline, then you can assume it's okay.  Please see here for more details: [[MTS2:Creator_Guidelines/Updates_and_Remixes_of_Creations | Updates and Remixes of Creations]].

*'''Redirects''': If you want to move a creation to another site, please remove your upload from MTS, don't just edit the text to point to a different site.

Uploads not allowed on MTS
These items are not allowed on MTS in any category.
Pay/Pirated Content

Everything required or recommended for an upload must be freely available, without having to pay.

  • No uploads requiring pay content: We do not host content (for example, recolours of a pay hair or object mesh) that absolutely require pay content to function in-game.
  • No optional pay, pirated, or stolen content: Even for optional or recommended content not absolutely required for the creation to work (for example, hair on a sim or a couch on a lot), this means:
    • No content you must pay for. This means you cannot use items that are pay, donation, subscriber only, "special gift", etc. type content, anything accessible only when you pay money or subscribe.
    • No content from sites that are repositories of unmodified content when it is still available from the original creator, whether these items are pay or free (no Booty or Simscave, torrents, sites full of stolen content or similar, but the Graveyard and sites that offer recolours or modifications with the mesh are okay).
    • No EA content simply converted to base game use with no other changes.
    • No pirated EA Store content. EA Store content, linked to the legitimate EA Store, is okay though. TS2 store content may be included, with proper credit, since the store is no longer available.
Other content not allowed
  • Items that belong on the adult site: No content posted on MTS can have visible nudity, sexual content, or adult content, and instead must be posted on our adult site, Sexy Sims. This means on MTS, you may not post:
    • Content that contains nudity, which we define as exposing the female nipples, or the butt crack/genitals of either gender, including semi-transparent stuff like a sheer bra. Items that are merely "sexy" like skimpy miniskirts or string bikinis are fine on MTS. Transsexual/transgender items are also not considered adult content unless they contain nudity.
    • Skintones containing genital details - female nipples are okay on MTS but see below regarding screenshots.
    • Images of skintones with uncensored female nipples. Please blur or cover the nipples, butt crack, and genital area when taking screenshots of your skintones.
    • Fine art uploads containing visible nudity.
    • Items with specifically sexual content (sex toys, sexual poses).
    • Items containing swear/curse words
    • Items relating to illegal drugs. Prescription and over-the-counter drugs, alcohol, and tobacco are okay on MTS though.
  • Sexualized children: We do not allow any sexy/sexualized content for baby, toddler, or child sims in any way - no breasts whatsoever on child sims, no "sexy" outfits, etc. If you want to make preteens, make a less developed body for teen sims. Sexualized child content is not allowed at our adult site either.
  • Offensive content: Racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, bigoted, hateful or otherwise offensive content will not be allowed. Again, also not allowed at our adult site.
  • Gore/violence: We do not allow uploads which feature prominent, graphic violence and/or gore. Examples of things we do not allow would include items centred around mass shootings, images showing explicit violent imagery, cannibalism, and infanticide. Limited violence and gore may be featured if not the dominant focus of the upload, and not excessively graphic. Think a PG-13 movie. If uncertain whether your upload crosses this line, we suggest making a thread in the Creator Issues forum asking for feedback from a moderator before uploading.
  • EXE installers: Creators are not allowed to post exe (or other executable) files for any area of the site but Modding Tools. If your content needs to be installed to a certain directory, you can compress your files and leave the directory structure intact, so you can tell people to just install to Program Files, for instance, and the files will go where they need to.

  • Uncredited content/violating permissions: If any part of what you have uploaded (mesh, textures, alphas, bump maps, coding, etc.) comes from somebody else's work, you MUST provide a link and credit in the text of your post, for the original author. State what you've used of theirs, the author's name, and give a link back to them. You must check the author's policies to see if you can use their content in the way you want, and you may not violate any policies stated. If there are no policies or they don't disallow your type of usage, or the site is permanently offline, then you can assume it's okay. Please see here for more details: Updates and Remixes of Creations.
  • Redirects: If you want to move a creation to another site, please remove your upload from MTS, don't just edit the text to point to a different site.
