				No CAS info	It seems that you haven't mentioned the CAS info yet. The CAS info exists out of: Age(s) (This could be baby till elder) Gender(s) (This could be female, male or unisex) The category it can be found in. (This could be everyday, formal, athletic, party wear, underwear, etc) These should be added to the infobox, or mentioned in your description so your downloaders can find them back in-game without having to search for them, or ask where to find them :) You can for example use a short mention like: "Available for: Females, from teens up to elders, for everyday, formal and sleepwear."
				Incomplete CAS info	You've mentioned some of the required CAS info, but it still needs a little more information so your downloaders can easily find it back in their games! :) The CAS info consists out of: Age(s) (This could be baby till elder) Gender(s) (This could be female, male or unisex) The category it can be found in. (This could be everyday, formal, athletic, party wear, underwear, etc) You can for example use a short mention like: "Available for: Females, from teens up to elders, for everyday, formal and sleepwear." :)
				Correct CAS info	You have mentioned to where your downloaders can find the item in CAS, making it easy for downloaders to find the item in their games! :) Great!

General Guidelines

When sharing a CASpart, it's always important to make sure that the Create-A-Sim information is in the sidebar (for most downloads), or in the description (for sets of items) so your downloaders can easily find it back in their games without having to look for it :)

The information you need consists of:

Age(s) (This could be baby till elder)
Gender(s) (This could be female, male or unisex)
The category it can be found in. (This could be everyday, formal, athletic, party wear, underwear, etc)

Without the information, downloaders might think your item can be found in for example, everyday but really isn't available for that category. It can also be a really helpful reminder when you accidentally clicked all categories, even though they really don't need all categories ticked :)

Examples

A tad too word-y:

I was looking for a way to tick some of the clothing boxes but I wasn't too sure where it would fit, so I just went with everyday and formal because I guess that is okay? I wanted to go with athletic but then I thought, nah... that's too weird! Who does that?! So then I was thinking of making it unisex but I thought that it didn't really work for unisex so I went with males. Oh, by the way, it's also only for teens. :/ Might make it for adults in the future!

Why is this incorrect?

While it includes all the CAS info needed, imagine if a downloader was trying to quickly read through your description to figure out where again it was available for and where they could find it? It can also be considered as confusing since there's mention of more categories and ages than it was applied for, which might make your downloaders think it is in that one category and later finding out it wasn't.

Short but powerful!

You can find it in: Female, teen till elder, everyday, formal, sleepwear.

Why is this correct?

Because we can easily see what ages it's available for, the gender and the categories it can be found in! :)

Custom thumbnails

It's available for female. You can easily find it back because I added a custom thumbnail.

Why is this incorrect?

Because even though you might have shared a thumbnail, imagine having a ton of CC downloaded, it might take a while to find back that one thing you really want to try out. So it's always good to share the Age and category as well! :)

Listing is cool!

This Item is available for:

Male and Female
Young adult till Elder
Everyday, formal, sleepwear

Why is this correct?

Not only is it very organised, it's also easy to read, it's probably the fastest way to write it down as well!

Missing Info

This CASpart is available for: Female, teen.

Why is this incorrect?

It seems to be missing some information on which category it can be found in. This might make it harder for the downloader to find it back since they don't know which category it's in.
