Requests & Where are the forums? - A small guide
Am I posting in the right forum?Sometimes, especially if you're new, the site can be considered a maze and trying to find the right forum to post things in can be difficult, but! We've got you!
What happens if I post it in the wrong forum? Sometimes accidentally posting something in the wrong place just happens. Maybe you had a topic where it fits in more than one place and confused you on to where to post it. However, if that happens, out of love of course, we do move these threads to the right place. So if you're posting a Help related question in General just to get more views, unfortunately we'll have to move that one too for you If it is an occurring thing however, and it's definitely clear that you know where your posts go but just keep posting it in a specific thread where it shouldn't go, we can give you a warning for forum abuse. Not only is it that the forums are being kept clean but also because this could annoy fellow members who also post and use the same forum! What about requesting? Requesting itself means whether you're about to post if someone could:
This, however in itself is not allowed unfortunately. And probably will never. Mainly because it has gone wrong plenty of times before and decided that requesting won't be a thing anymore. Therefore, any post that is being posted in any of the forums mentioned above WILL be deleted. If requesting is an occurring thing, the same as with ignoring people's guidance in posting things in the forums, you will get a warning for doing so... Please don't try us :P But... I really want that thing! While posting requests here on MTS is against the rules, there are a few sources that you can go to:
NOTE: Do keep in mind that if you post anything 'request-y' related, your post WILL be deleted. Use Descriptive Thread Titles! Use a thread title that describes in a few words what you are discussing, so people know what the thread is about. However, don't make titles like "My sim just got himself a boat and got eaten by a Kraken, pics in the post!" and then having little to zero description. In this case you'd want to have "Sim eaten by kraken?!" or something in that content with a nice story in your description so it's much easier to discuss whatever happened in your game No hate threads on specific games That being for example: 'the sims 4 sucks! Who's with me?!'. in the sims 4 general forum. Or anything about any of the games. People usually talk about their favourite moments in their preferred games or discuss the gameplay, so making a thread like this is not only unnecessary, but just rude. No file sharing/promoting your CC There shouldn't really be a reason for you to upload files in the general forums (Exception for pictures of course). If you happen to be in a situation where you do share files, make sure it's not a reupload of anything, Store items, Someone else's or your Mods folder, or anything against our Site rules You might have made some awesome CC for everyone to check out, though the best place for this would be to upload this through our Upload Wizard We're a download hosting site after all, no need to use the forums! If you made CC that you uploaded on Tumblr, Patreon, wordpress or any kind of link where you host your downloads, please do NOT use this forum for promoting. These sorts of posts will be deleted as they are considered as spam. If you're just looking for a way to get feedback, and not necessarily putting it up for download that way, please check out the Creator Feedback Forum

Forum Rules & Guidelines - Read Before You Post
WCIF Forum Rules and GuidelinesForum Rules & Guidelines - Read Before You Post What is this forum for? The Where Can I Find section is for locating custom content: particular items and sites with particular items. This section is not for:
Threads posted in the WCIF forum that do not comply with these rules may be locked or deleted without further warning. Please make sure you fully understand all of these rules and guidelines before posting. Limit on WCIFs
Search first! There are many search methods available to you, so you can find what you're looking for without having to ask! Most common items have already been asked for and answered. If you post a WCIF and it's obvious you haven't searched, your thread will be locked, advising you where to search and what search terms to use.
PM First! If you see a picture someone has posted and you're looking for some content they showed, click on their name next to the post and send them a PM or Private Message asking them where they got that item. That is often the fastest way to find something. Provide Pictures: Whenever possible, it's helpful if you can post a picture of what you're looking for. No hotlinking! By simply linking to someone else's picture, it uses up bandwidth (sending capacity) on their account. This can cause their account's bandwidth to get used up, so none of their pics will work! Please use your own account and provide a credit to the owner of the pic. For further information, see: How to post pictures? Specific Items: Threads asking for "nice clothes for men" or "more good hair" and other vague WCIFs will be closed. If you're just looking for more stuff or cannot give an idea of something specific in a style you're looking for, try browsing MTS or some of the links given above. Use Descriptive Thread Titles! Use a thread title that describes in a few words what you are looking for, so people can tell by your thread title if might be able to help you. When Helping/Finding Please provide direct links whenever possible - not everyone knows the abbreviation for various sites, and "Have you checked GoS?" or suchlike really isn't that helpful. Take an extra moment to find a link for someone. No Requests! The WCIF forum is not for requesting new content - we do not have anywhere to post requests here. You may find a creator who is willing to do your request for TS4 Creators who take Requests. Pay Content/File Sharing This is not a file sharing site. Please do not ask "where can I get this pay item for free" here. If a pay item is being shared for free it will most likely be on The Booty at PMBD (Paysites Must Be Destroyed). If you can't find a desired item there, then ask there if they have it or can add it or where it is - not here. |
