For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,

- Keep posts family-friendly, acceptable for all ages, and keep strong language to a minimum
- One account per user or permanent ban
Act like a human being:
- Treat people like you would if you were face to face with them
- Arguments and debates are fine but keep it civil
- Try to stay on topic
- Avoid hijacking or derailing other people's threads, make a new post instead
- Give credit where due
Content:
- Links to mods required for screenshot or video posts
- 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)
- Do not link directly to downloads, link to the download's homepage, unless you are the author or your post is on the Simwiki Forums is the download's homepage. For example, do not directly link downloads from private forums, instead link their threads.
- Respect 'private only' forums such as Trackaholics, European Endurance Center, Evolution Modding, F1 Classic, etc. Do not directly link their download files, instead link their own forum thread.
Moderation
- We try not to censor, not even 'mean speech'
- Responsibility is on members to keep it civil
- Avoid getting personal and you will avoid consequences
- Engage the issue, itself, not the person or group, and you'll be fine
Enjoy
