Images

We appreciate the images you've contributed to the wiki, however it seems you forgot to add some essential information to them. To find images you've uploaded, see your contributions.

Licensing: All images must have their licensing information added. If the image is from The Sims series of games or contains the PlumbBob, it is copyrighted to EA. Add {{Copyright by EA}}.
If you've made the image yourself, you need to decide on the license. The Sims Wiki recommends a Creative Commons license. Unless stated otherwise the image will be assumed to be under the CC-BY-SA license.
See Category:Copyright tags for a list of available copyright options.

Categories: All images must be put in a category. See The Sims Wiki:Image guidelines for basic image categories or browse all image categories to find the correct one. In most cases, your image should only be included into one category and only be put in Category:Images if there is no other place to put it.
See The Sims Wiki:Image guidelines and Help:Category for more information.

Filenames: The image(s) you uploaded contains either an invalid filename or a generic filename. Please avoid using slashes in your files / \, this causes the image to not show in articles. A generic filename is eg. 'screenshot-xx'. These will be overwritten when someone else uploads and image of the same name. In the future, please mark files with invalid or generic filenames with the {{move}} template and an administrator will move it if they haven't already been moved.

Thumbnails: It seems your image is the thumbnail of another image. When saving an image from another site it's important that you get the full image and not only the tiny thumbnail.

Duplicates: Your image was a duplicate of an image that already exists on our site. If you notice that the image you are adding already exists please do not upload it. Use the existing image instead. Be aware that duplicates will be deleted.

Here's an additional comment.
