Photos Required
Be sure you have IN GAME screen shots of your pet. All Pet uploads will require the following two photos both of which are to be taken at CLOSE range and in DAYLIGHT:
One face shot up CLOSE of the animal.
And one body shot showing the full length of the animal:

Creativity
No plain colours unless we get to the point of being able to do our own textures. It takes 10 seconds to make a plain black or white or orange cat in CAP.
Pet uploads should NOT look like the standards Maxis breeds that came with the game. We want original, unique and quality uploads. Any Pet that is created to resemble a real life breed MUST include a photo of the actual breed for comparison purposes. Just like celebrity Sims, realism is important.
Though the rainbow colored fur provided to us by Maxis is cute, it's not realistic. DO NOT UPLOAD PETS WITH RAINBOW FUR or fur w/ stars, smilies, or symbols, or fur to fit a holiday theme. They will be rejected.
Special instances will be pets like as Dino, or a character pet (from a cartoon) that requires a rainbow colored fur will be accepted. But no green kitties and blue doggies please.
Multiples:
DO NOT upload one breed in an array of colors unless it makes sense. Labrador Retrievers come in yellow, black, and chocolate. Do not upload green, blue, purple versions of them, too, in the same thread.
