Possible Assessments

Approvable	TS4	TS3	TS2	Title	Description
				Insufficient front view	A sufficient front view of this lot is not attached.
				Good front view	You have included a front shot of your lot. Thank you.
				TS4 camera obstruction	The front view of this lot is not ideal. However, the lot is meant to go in a specific spot where neighbourhood obstructions prevent the camera from moving into the correct position to take a better front view, and you have clearly noted this in your description. :)

General Guidelines

All lot uploads need a picture showing the front of the lot (the street side) which shows the entire structure clearly. After all, downloaders want to see what they'll be getting, and a good front picture which shows your whole lot is one of the best ways to "sell" your lot to them! This picture should:

Show the entire structure, including all levels, without severe obstructions from trees or other scenery
Be taken from a straight-on angle from the front. Not too diagonal.
Be taken from approximately the height of a Sim. Not from high above.
Focus on the lot, not the road or sky
Show the lot as it appeared when saved for upload. Do not add, remove, or alter anything for the screenshots (with one exception, see below)

My lot has landscaping which blocks the front view

If your landscaping covers the front of the house, we recommend temporarily removing it while taking the front picture, which will allow people to see all of the hard work you've done on your architecture! If you do this, we also recommend including another shot showing the full landscaping, so downloaders will be able to see how the lot will actually look, trees and all.

The Sims 4 Guidelines, apply in addition to the above General ones.

Lots & Housing

Neighbourhood terrain is blocking me from taking a good front view

Some areas of certain TS4 'hoods have obstructions which prevent the camera from moving to the correct position to take a good front view. If this happens, try placing your building on a different lot space of the same size and taking the pictures there. However, if your lot is intended to go in one specific spot, or you're unable to find one that works for a front view, please state this in the description text of the upload, so moderators will be aware of the situation and won't needlessly CR you. We also strongly recommend adding one or two additional front pics from alternate angles, so even if we can't see the entire front of the house in a single shot, we can still see everything from at least one pic.

Examples

Correct

A good example, showing the front clearly.

Obscured

The structure is blocked by these trees. If your landscaping covers the front of the house, we recommend temporarily removing it while taking the front picture. If you do this, we also recommend including another shot showing the full landscaping, so downloaders will be able to see how the lot will look.

High angle

Taking the picture from too high of an angle can make it difficult to assess the architecture, especially the pitch of the roof.

Diagonal

This one is taken from too far to the side.

Cut off

Make sure to show the entire structure, including the roof.
