Uploading Rules:
  1. Please include the mod version number in the title, NOT the game version.
  2. When copy pasting info use notepad first so all hyperlinks and formatting get removed.
  3. Selecting text and clicking on the hyperlink button will make that text hyperlink (useful for when you put the dev's name and other re-directs). e.g:
  4. Don't update your thread and don't create threads without virus checking the files first!
  5. * If the mod or game is abandoned/hiatus update the prefix tag to reflect this (add the prefix tag).
  6. Only links from " " should be shared. This is to protect our users
  7. You must upload sample images and/or cover art to our server by using the Upload File button. More information . DO NOT use Imgur or any 3rd party hosts or your uploading permissions will be removed.
  8. When creating collections, please use the date which you ripped the content for the version number in the title so we know which content came after making it easier to update-
  9. ** Titles for thread should follow the template posted below to the letter, we're tired of fixing titles from senior uploaders and even other staff members.
  10. You can post non-pornographic game (AAA or otherwise) links in the mod thread (e.g ) but the focus of said thread should be the mod.
  11. Tools and Tutorials shouldn't be posted in the mod section(we've seen some), only mods. You can post those .
  12. Mods that require/compliment other mods should have hyperlinks to the main mod. e.g: Sims 4 Animations should have links to the Sims 4 Wickedwhims mod which is a requirement for the animations.
  13. Requests should be directed at our active resident modders (check pinned threads.) do not create a thread requesting for a mod, it'll be deleted.
  14. Cheat Mods/Console Enablers and such should always be tagged with the "Cheat Mod" prefix tag, DO NOT use the "Mod" prefix for it.
  15. Make sure to add the game engine to the title unless your mod is a rework in another engine like . This will help with filters among other things.

*: Unless your mod is adding content to a abandoned game and you will keep updating said mod.
**: The title template should always be "NAME [VERSION Nº] [AUTHOR]". Unless it's a complete thread, in which case the version number should not be present.
Example: "JumpingMan Mod [v3.9] [Gold Studio]" or "JumpingMan Mod [21-07-2018] [JILF & Sons]"

Make sure you follow our upload template (it'll automatically appear when you create a thread).

I have more to explain than what's in the template, so I tried my best, but want to know if comply to the template or not ? If yes, I'll change my other threads according to it, else I'll try another thing.

By the way, like the configuration interface is common to all my creations, is there a way to reuse pictures from a thread to another, or should I upload them each time ? I mean, if there's a way to not uselessly increase the used storage space, I'll use it with pleasure.

Try to condense it all as much as possible. Also, you don't need multiple spoilers for Change-log nor for others. upload_2018-2-13_16-56-24.png
is enough.

Right now you're thread is a mess, just like all the others.

I understand why the "condense it", but I'm not sure it is really achievable for mods. While a game have just to summarize its story and sometimes part of its mechanism, mods need to explain in which way the story and/or mechanisms have been altered/changed.
But well, it's the rules, so is better ?

Referring to all the spoiler buttons. The formatting is terrible. Just do it like change-log.

The only difference was that I indented the text, but well, I removed the indentation. Now everything is exactly like the change-log.
So, ?

Thanks for your time and patience. Don't really have the time right now, so I'll change my other mod's threads tomorrow.

You don't have to worry about old ones if you don't have the time.

I tried to add a "completed" prefix to one of my mods, and an "on hold" to another, without success. Looks like whatever I do, the prefixes don't want to be updated.

<- on hold
<- completed (since the game is completed and there's nothing more to add to the mod)

But er... the rules are ambigious, should we do it ourselves (which seem impossible) or ask a moderator to do it ?

Hello, newish Modder here:

My thread for an Urban Demons mod has been going well so far, but some of my postings have additional things to download in the comments, like the RPG Maker Decrypter. It is also currently not exactly a Demo, but an off-shoot of the game before the author came back to work on it, as it was abandoned for some time.

If it’s possible, could you take a quick glance at it and tell me if I’m doing anything wrong? I’ve put in a lot of work and don’t want to start over if I can help it.

hello......

this is my first post after all of the time i've become a member on this nice forum.
when i found out about there's 2 kind of mod, a demo version mod and full version mod, i was thinking, should i commenting on such kind situation?
basically, creating mod on a game isn't always easy.
but, in a forum, it also can not be the reason to publish that 2 kind of mod (the demo and full version).
we all can see that there are a lot of mod in this forum, which are free to use and download. and the mod-uploader or mod-creator didn't have to make 2 version of their mod, just in order to get respect by supporting their patreon (which it means supporting financially).
the mod-creator can ask that kind of support (patreon things) sincerely, not forcefully. i think it's a better way when we're in a forum.
if, the mod-creator need or want "to sell" their mod, they could just published on their own patreon or their own site, not in a forum.

i didn't have any bad intentions when i write this post. i just writing what i think it's proper to conduct in a forum.
i just didn't want this forum will be quite (in a long term), if such kind of situation didn't respond properly.

thank you.

I honestly didn't understand anything you wrote. If you could rephrase it more clearly, please.

pardon me if i didn't wrote clearly, because i'm trying to not mentioning any names directly.
i prefer this forum Moderator or Admin to take a look and check it by yourself about what i mentioned with 2 kinds of game's mod stuff. if i'm not mistaken, this kind of mod is relatively new post in Game Mod section. and so far, there are 2 post, the same uploader/modder.

Does #7 mean that we MUST upload sample images / cover art, or that IF we do, we must upload directly?
The later, because we have no control over images outside the server it's required to store everything from the OP in f95zone, this way they won't be deleted any time soon.

Ok, thanks. I am working on a mod, but it is a pretty basic one, and there isn't really any screenshots I felt like would be great for cover art.

I sure hope this question belongs here!! O downloaded and started playing a bit of The Gift Reloaded 0.08b for PC and I was wondering if the Incest Patch was already included in it or is it required to be separately downloaded like it was for 0.07??
