;Compilations for The Sims
;Image quality
When uploading images of the game, whether it is released or in-production, please be sure that the image is the highest quality and resolution possible. If you are unable to find an image that is high quality, you may upload a lower quality version. However, a lower quality image may be replaced with higher quality version if one is later found.


There are several '''compilations for ''[[The Sims]]'''''. These compilations combine ''The Sims'' base game and one or more [[expansion pack]]s, and several compilations also feature additional items and extras not included in the base game or individual expansion packs. Compilations for ''The Sims'' were released starting in 2002 with ''The Sims Deluxe Edition'', with the final compilation - ''The Sims Complete Collection''/''The Sims Full House'' - arriving in 2008.
Generally, an image with the dimensions of 640x360 or higher can be considered as high quality for usage on an article while an image with the dimensions of 320x240 or lower can be considered low quality. Note that these dimensions may not apply in all circumstances (e.g. icons).

;TV/Monitor pictures
Please do not take a picture of a TV or PC/laptop monitor and upload the image; images generated in this way are typically very poor quality. Please use the 'Print Screen' key to take a screenshot. If uploading an in-game image, use the 'C' key to take an in-game screenshot, as it captures the game in the running resolution, ensuring the image appears "natural".

An exception to this is console titles as TV screens are the only image sources available and most emulators are unable to run the games in a satisfactory state.

;Graphics settings
It is recommended to have the game running the maximum settings when taking screenshots. If you are unable to maximize the visual quality of the game without a heavy performance penalty, you may upload an image using the lower graphics settings. However, a lower quality image may be replaced with one of a higher quality, if a higher quality image is available and possible to upload.
