At a glance
So downloaders can find your slider in-game, please provide the category (e.g. mouth, eyes) and slider name, as well as which ages and genders it's enabled for.
General Guidelines
If you have made one or more custom sliders, then it's always good to explain where they can be found, who it's for and what age. Without this, downloaders will have a hard time figuring out where exactly your sliders are. Especially for sliders that for example, change a sim's neck length and is somewhere found in 'nose'.
When listing them, it's good to mention: - The category they're in (That being, nose, mouth, eyes, etc.) - What age(s) they're for. - Which gender(s) they're for - The name of it in-game
For example: "This slider is for young adult and adult males and females, shows up in Eyes > Eyebrows and is called 'Thumb Length'"

Correct - Describing your slider's category
"This slider is for young adult and adult males and females shows up in Eyes > Eyebrows and is called 'Thumb Length'"
Why is this correct?
Because in one sentence we described the:
This way people can easily navigate in their games where your awesome sliders can be used! :)
Incorrect - How not to do it
I made a slider called Thumb Length and I guess it can be found under eyebrows.
Why is this incorrect
While it has some of the required info that should be listed (The in-game name and the category it's in) it still is missing the age and gender! Without this, Downloaders will have to guess and hope that it might be available for a specific gender/age but actually isn't. It also seems in this case that we're not really sure if they can be found under eyebrows and could lead to downloaders feeling a little unsure about the slider, if not if it's something they were looking for after all.
Correct - The shopping list method
My slider can be found under:
It's easy to read! It also has all the info we want to know, especially if you don't like typing as much, this could be a method you might like. :)
If you check it with the list we made, you can see how it meets it perfectly since we described:
Incorrect - Don't overload it with text!
So I made this new slider right? I thought 'hey? It fits super great under Noses' so I did that because, duh, it's a nose slider! XD But anyways, it's for females because I have this thing for female noses in real life too! I mean, come on, they're great! Oh, it's also great for kids and elders. Not sure about teens, because I didn't feel like testing that one.
Why is this incorrect?
Even though it has all the information in it that's required, it's not exactly easy to find the info itself really quickly. It's also raises a few questions because what about young adults? Will the teen version look good? Why the thing for real noses?! So always make sure to write little text as possible when sharing these details :)
Correct - Short but good
Can be found under: Nose > nose bridge, Child till elder, female, in-game name is Thumb length
Why is this correct
If you have a shorter version yourself that isn't just 'Nose > nose bridge, Child till elder, female, in-game name is Thumb length' then we strongly encourage you to use that method! :) Though this is probably the shortest and less typing-y way there is. It includes all the required info and it's easy to read! Also, we can easily find it quickly if we struggle to find it in-game! :)
