==Creator Guidelines: Bodyshop Meshes==
Have you made a spiffy new bodyshop mesh for your sims to wear? Want to share it with everyone else? Here are the guidelines to make sure you get approved!

===Mesh Information===

{| class="collapsible collapsed wikitable" style="width:100%"
|-
! style="text-align:left" | Textures
|-
|
* Make sure your mesh has a nice texture that showcases your hard work. The standard guidelines for recolours still apply to the textures you're uploading with your original mesh. For Body Shop-related recolour guidelines look here.

{| class="collapsible collapsed wikitable" style="width:100%"
|-
! style="text-align:left" | T.O.U. (Terms of Use)
|-
|
*Include clear terms of use for your mesh. What are your policies on user recolours, uploading your mesh elsewhere with lots/sims, your textures, cloning, modifying your mesh, etc.? Make your terms of use clear but concise so there's no question on what you allow with your work.

{| class="collapsible collapsed wikitable" style="width:100%"
|-
! style="text-align:left" | Proper Crediting
|-
|
*If the mesh or textures you're using come from any other source except your own creativity (i.e. if any part of your creation wasn't made by you personally), you must list where you obtained the mesh or textures with enough information that it can be verified you are within the original creator's terms of use, or have obtained personal permission from them. This also applies to cloning from user-created objects. Give credit where it's due.

{| class="collapsible collapsed wikitable" style="width:100%"
|-
! style="text-align:left" | Poly Count
|-
|
*You must include full, numeric polygon and vertex counts for all meshes in your upload. Try to weigh the uniqueness and usability of your item against its poly count: creators that upload extremely high poly items that could be lower poly will be asked to reduce them or the items will be removed. Even if you just modify a Maxis mesh and don't add/remove anything, you still must list a numeric poly count.

{| class="collapsible collapsed wikitable" style="width:100%"
|-
! style="text-align:left" | Tools Used
|-
|
*State in your post what tools you used to create the mesh (Unimesh, Meshtool, SimPE, Milkshape, Wings3D, UV Mapper, etc.): this both gives credit to the tool creators for their hard work in making your creation possible, and lets downloaders/recolourers know what the object will be capable of, like bump maps, proper animations, etc.

{| class="collapsible collapsed wikitable" style="width:100%"
|-
! style="text-align:left" | Mesh Problems
|-
|
* Let the people know if there are unavoidable issues or weirdness with your object that downloaders should be aware of. Nobody's perfect, but you need to let your downloaders know if they're something odd to watch out for.
