General Guidelines
All required screenshots must be taken in-game. Not in Bodyshop, S4S, Milkshape, Photoshop, etc. This is so that downloaders can get a clear idea of what the creations will look like during gameplay, which, after all, is why most people are downloading CC!
Additional screenshots (bonus shots, not required for approval), do not need to be taken in-game. However, we still recommend it, as downloaders like seeing more pictures of what the items will look like in their game. Not to mention that with some practice, pics taken in-game can be much more attractive than ones taken from other programs. :)

Section Guidelines, apply in addition to the above General ones.
For TS2, screenshots from Create-a-Sim are not accepted as in-game screenshots. All required screenshots must be taken on a lot. This is because the lighting in CAS is significantly different than in gameplay, which can alter the appearance of some items.
The Sims 4 Guidelines, apply in addition to the above General ones.
Screenshots taken in Create-a-Sim are acceptable as required pictures for TS4.
