This CAS screen requires windkeeper's mod to make the CAS objects disappear. You need to say so in your post and provide a link to it.
The texture(s) use exceedingly bright or oversaturated colours, which look unrealistic.
The colours of the textures are very dark.
The texture(s) use some colours which are too bright or saturated. Turn the saturation down, and bear in mind that it should be possible to use the texture over a large area without the colours dominating the entire room.
The CAS screen(s) use a texture that seems a bit pixelated. When creating CAS screens, make sure you got a relatively big image (1000px in width or more) so that you've got plenty of room to resize without ruining the quality of the image texture ;)
Thank you for linking and crediting the object hider mod properly!
The colours you have chosen are realistic, and look good over a large area.
General Guidelines
When uploading a custom CAS screen/room to MTS, we have some basic requirements to ensure that your upload is good, shown well, and has the correct info and files needed for people to use it in their games. This allows moderators to check your uploads for quality, and for downloaders to see if your item is something they want to add to their games.
The Sims 2 Guidelines, apply in addition to the above General ones.
Neighborhoods & CAS Screens
Lighting CAS Screens should be nicely lit so that users can see their sims clearly. You don't want it too dark/dim, but you also don't want it too bright. Make sure to remove any lighting hacks before creating your CAS screens so you can be sure you're creating a CAS screen that is properly lit.
No Seasons and Pets This is very, very important! If you have the Seasons expansion pack installed, you cannot make CAS screens normally! You MUST use the AnyGameStarter to create your CAS screen without Seasons! If you do not do this, any sims in the CAS screen will turn blue and freeze. It is also recommended that you create CAS screens without Pets, as CAS screens made with Pets are susceptible to having strays wander into the room.
Show Both Rooms When creating a new CAS screen, you must show both the CASim and CAFamily.
