				Content redirect	This upload has been moved to another site with only a link redirecting downloaders to the new location, and is therefore not allowed on MTS.
				Content made by another	This upload is mostly or entirely made by someone else. All content uploaded to MTS must be made by the user who uploads it. We do not permit uploading things on others' behalves, or stealing content and attempting to wrongly claim it.
				Content not allowed	This upload contains one or more types of content we do not allow on MTS, such as unmodified EP/SP/GP/store content, adult content, sexualized children, hate speech, excessive gore/violence, or otherwise offensive material.
				Content not for TS2/3/4	The content is for a game other than Sims 2 or Sims 3 or Sims 4. We do not have a section in Downloads for any other sims games, currently. Downloads for Sims Medieval can be attached to a regular thread in our Sims Medieval Discussion Forum. Downloads for TS1 can be posted in the TS1 discussion forum.
				Pay/pirated required	The creation requires pay content to function in-game, or includes pay content as part of the uploaded files. For upload to MTS, no pay content is allowed to be shown on or included with uploads.
				Pay/pirated linked	The upload links to optional content (such as items packaged/saved with but not included with a lot or sim) which is an item you must pay for, from a site that is simply a repository of unmodified content uploaded without the creator's permission, EA content converted to the base game with no other changes, or pirated EA Store content.
				Pay/pirated fixed	Thank you for removing all pay and/or pirated content and/or links to such from this upload! :)
				No adult content	Thank you for removing all adult content from this upload!

General Guidelines

Content which is not allowed on MTS

Sexualized children: We do not allow any sexy/sexualized content for baby, toddler, or child sims in any way - no breasts or "bulges" 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.
Adult content: No visible nudity, sexual or adult content on MTS. Some adult content may be allowed on our adult site. (See below)
Offensive content: Racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, bigoted, hateful or otherwise offensive content will not be allowed.
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.
Content not for TS2, TS3 or TS4: Only content for TS2, TS3, and TS4 may be uploaded to the downloads section of MTS. If you wish to share content for TS1 or The Sims Medieval, you may do so in the TS1 discussion forum or the Sims Medieval discussion forum.
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.
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.

Pay/Pirate Content

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

No uploads requiring pay content: We do not host uploads (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). 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 TS3 or TS4 EA Store content. EA Store content, linked to the legitimate EA Store, is okay though.

Adult Content

No content posted on MTS can have visible nudity, sexual content, or adult content, and instead must be posted on our adult site, SexySims. 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 any gender, including semi-transparent stuff like a sheer bra. Items that are merely "sexy" like skimpy miniskirts or string bikinis are fine on MTS.
Images of skintones with uncensored nudity. Please blur or cover the butt crack, genital area, and female nipples when taking screenshots of your skintones.
Skintones containing genital details of any gender. Skintones may have female nipples, but they must be blurred or covered in the screenshots as per above.
Fine art uploads containing visible nudity.
Items with specifically sexual content (sex toys, sexual poses, traits for different kinks, etc).
Items containing extreme or excessive profanity.
Items relating to illegal drugs. Prescription and over-the-counter drugs, alcohol, marijuana, and tobacco are okay on MTS though.
