Acceptable Content

Content posted to simwiki.net must meet the following requirements:

  • Family-friendly, acceptable for all ages, no strong language
  • Legal content, no full software links (except free, demos, etc.), no hacks, no keys, no mods ported from current sims to other sims (mods ported from old titles okay)
  • English language posts, non-English off-site links are okay if relevant (use a translator link when possible)
  • Related to simulation software, usually video games, but could be other software like apps, tools, 3d model apps, etc.
  • Links only for downloads, no uploads to simwiki.net for mods, skins, tools, etc.
  • Respect 'private only' forums such as Trackaholics, GTR2 Endurance, F1 Classic, etc; No linking private files from these sites, link their forum thread instead
  • Uploads for displayed content are okay, such as images displayed in the body of a post
  • Optimize uploaded images, ideally JPG under 1MB
  • No large uploads, ideally nothing over 1MB, but certainly nothing over 10MB (use a download link instead)
