Default Just wondering about new uploaders...
Hello! I don't mean to bother anyone with mundane questions, but having never thought of uploading anything until Bon Voyage came out, I have to ask. I had contemplated uploading a vacation house that contains an array of custom content and Maxis provided content. Seeing the advanced level of creators out there, and in light of this new quality expectation, should I even bother sharing my creation at all? I am in no way at the level of the likes of Numenor or other wizards of the Sim2 creation world, but in my own little way, the creations I make are cool and unique to me, and feel that they warrant at least a glance of consideration from the rest of the community. When I started to see how much literature it took to read through to even begin the upload process, I realized that it would be in my best interest to see if a newbie uploader like myself, with little technically astounding contributions, is still welcome to try their hand at uploading. Thank you for any response and a big thank you to all you greats out there that have inspired me to even think of creating at all...Your time is truly appreciated.

With Warm Regards,
camprack

Of course - if new creators weren't allowed to upload, then we wouldn't have any old creators
Go for it, is my advice; make sure you've read through the guidelines first - and yes, it is a lot of reading, but it's worth it and will save you many rejects - upload and see what happens. If your upload isn't accepted and put on the site, then you'll get a PM listing the reasons for that. If that happens, look through the reasons, fix them, and try again.

Even creators whose first uploads were rejected with the word "horrendous" going through the mod's mind, have improved and become excellent creators; and the staff are always happy to help people improve.
Also, try posting pictures of your creation in Creator Feedback before uploading, there are many experienced/featured/just plain wonderful creators in there who'll help you get things just right.

What I lack in decorum, I make up for with an absence of tact.

Hello!

I'm new to this whole up-loading thing, and I have a few question, if I'm allowed to do so:

1. I'm having trouble oading up pics of my up-load. I've made the pics smaller, changed the format to the one's that are allowed on the site, and renameing them, and I still can't get them attached. I keep getting the error message of, "Copy to file system directory failed". And no matter how many times I try to attach it, it still won't attach.

2. It's had been awhile since I've been on this site, and now that I'm back on here, I've notice that the site has changed somewhat. And I can't figure out how to post. Like if I have a question about something, and I can't find it on the site, and I would like the question to be answered, I don't know how to go about posting. Please help.

I'm sorry if I'm going about this the wronge way, by asking it on this thread, but I can't figure it out anyother way. Thanks for your help and understanding with my silly little issues.

Enjoem - follow up with this on the top of the page under NEWS - 'Site Issues'. The upload server got some changes and I think we're still ironing out the issues.

I have a question,

If a moderator is just being "nice" and allows "crappy" work to be uploaded can someone report the post or something like that? I was just wondering because I've seen some celebrity downloads that should not have been accepted according to the guidelines and I was just wondering if all the mods know about the decisions or is it up to one particular moderator?

Default Question
i have a question, i received the "tagged threads" pm and it stated to go to your profile (the pm provides a link) and check for the threads with the yellow triangle exclamation marks. I went to my profile and am not able to find these marks. I have checked each individual download as well as the scorecard and still no yellow triangle marks. I did take a look at the screenshots of said marks but still can't locate them. I did delete one of my lots that I figured was the tagged thread, this thread had no yellow triangle marks anywhere, but I would still like to be sure that it is not one of the others. thanks.

i checked in creator issues via the link in the tagged threads pm, and didn't really find the answer to my question. all that was there were the rules for the forum. do i need to post my question there or is my question not making sense? trouble is i can not identify which thread is the tagged thread to even begin to try and fix anything.

The PM you get should tell you which item it is - it'll appear on your profile page with an exclamation mark.

I see you have one tagged download: it's the Eyeshadow in lots of colors by Kiara, uploaded on Jan 7h, 2006.

Don't ask why it has been tagged, I really don't know. Maybe it's because the last comment wast posted there exactly 1 year ago? Or maybe because the "lot of colours" are nowhere to be seen in the screenshots.

I've finally started my Journal. Information only, no questions.

i got an PM, that one of my downloads is tagged. it´s a hair recolour from a mesh of helgasims, and the site is gone. it wouldn´t be that bad for me, if it would be deleted, but i think it´s a bit ... don´t know, but it´s not the fault of any creator... and when this special site is gone, why isn´t every recolour of helga meshes tagged?? i have some other recolours which are not tagged. not that i want them to be tagged, but this looks a bit like nonsense to me...?? i am only confused
Coffee, anyone?

Suprisingly, this thread is for reactions to the new upload guidelines. I would suggest posting your question in the Creator Issues forum. You will have a private thread in which to banter/talk with moderators.

I'm worried that my latest Salvation Army donation will result in homeless people looking like sluts from the 90s.

I realise that this is for quality and absolute satisfaction and high standard etc. etc, but i do think it really restricts who can upload items- unless you are quite serious about it, you may not have all the right programs to recolour things or change meshes, and even if you do, you may find it tricky to get items accepted. Ok, i'm getting a little lost in my own words now, but i, for one, have a lot of experimenting and practise to do. byee!

Well, yes, it does restrict people - but it only restricts those that are not willing to learn more or who do not want to put the effort into wanting to learn more. There are plenty of tutorials here on many different aspects of modding that it's really not that hard - with the time and motivation - to make something good.

And lets not forget the Creator Feedback Forum *and* the Creator Guidelines, which contains screenshots of the right and wrong ways to do things.

So, yes, it restricts those who spend 5 mins in Paint or whatever and churn out stuff that pretty much anybody could do. BUt there are other sites like the Exchange that cater perfectly to those kind of creators and MTS2, as one of the *only* sites that has actual Creator Guidelines and a moderation queue (seriously, how many other sites even have this?), *must* have guidelines and *must* strive for the best quality stuff.

I reveived a PM that said one of my uploads was tagged. It told me to got to my profile in order to see and edit the tagged upload. I went there (to Creators Issues and to my scorecard) but I can't see the yellow triangles or something else that points me out which upload needs editing. Is there a way to figure it out? I want to modify my uploads but I don't know which.
