Default Quality|1|Usefulness
1:Your tool provides another way of doing something which can already be done in a much simpler way, without using any special tools; and doesn't make the process easier or more efficient.

3:Your tool is very useful, and will make certain tasks easier for modders or players. Thankyou!

5:Your tool is exceedingly useful, either making a difficult task much quicker and simpler, or even by making something possible which previously couldn't be done at all. Wonderful! Thankyou for uploading!

Default Screenshots|1| Illustrative Image
1: There are no images attached to the post. We know it can be difficult to capture something useful for modding tools, but we do require -some- sort of illustrative image for the mod to appear on the downloads pages.

3: There is an illustrative image attached to the post. Thank you.


5: The thumbnail is appropriate for the downloads page and the picture is great. You can easily tell what the modding tool does from the picture(s) you've set up. Thank you.
