I have just discovered that my five latest paintings sets have been reported (all by the same person) for not having in-game preview shots.
No-one else has mentioned this and there is nothing saying it is compulsory to include in-game shots for 'objects' on the submissions page. I have read and followed all of the 'rules' regarding submissions and my creations have been accepted and published, so surely if I was doing something wrong, this would not have happened.
I have not changed my way of submitting items since I started uploading sets, so why have my paintings only now been reported?
Could it be because the person who reported me also creates paintings?!!
I test my paintings in-game before I publish them, so I know they are fine, and I have had no negative feedback regarding any of them.
Everyone has the right to present their creations how they wish and my chosen way of presenting my paintings sets is in a frame, which I think is quite apt.
I always include previews of the actual paintings close-up so people can see what they are downloading - something you can't always see in screenshots, especially of multiple paintings hanging on a wall, with other objects included in the picture. Yes, some look really pretty, but when I’m looking to download something, I’d rather see the actual item itself rather than a screenshot of a room containing the item in the distance, with very little detail visible – that’s just my preference, but I know a few people who feel the same.
I also think that displaying my sets in the same unique fashion every time is helpful to people who are particularly looking for my creations as it makes them stand out amid all the others. Again, that’s how I look at the previews when I’m searching for downloads – you get to know the style the artist uses and if it’s the same, or very similar every time, you are automatically drawn to that picture and item.
Anyway, if anyone would like to pass comment on the way I present my paintings, please feel free to do so – I won’t be offended and would appreciate the feedback.
Thanks!
P.S. – And if the person who reported me would like to reveal the reason why they suddenly decided to do so, that would be appreciated too.

I have to say that I love the way that you present your items. I have never, EVER had a problem with any of your items in my games. I say games because I have been loading your creations in my game since Sims2. I never had problems with any of it. In fact, your wonderful creations are how you and I became such good friends! I hope that you do not change the way you display things. I think it is perfect the way you do it. The nerve of some people to pick on you for that! What about all the clothing items that people make? Those are not "in game" shots. It's the same with hair, eyes, make-up and countless other items for the game. I am deeply offended by people that have NOTHING better to do than to pick on some one and report someone over a picture. It is petty and so incredibly stupid to boot! People are on TSR to make friends and find wonderful items in their games. I cannot for the life of me figure out why the heck people have to stir up trouble. I hope that the person that reported you gets a clue and gets over themselves and feel very small over their stupidity! So STUPID!

The person that reported you is petty and immature. Now that I know WHO that artist is, I will no longer be downloading their creations. I think said artist needs to grow up and pay attention to how other items are posted on TSR. If they do, they will notice many creations are not posted with "in game" shots. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the way your creations are posted. I love them and always have and I will always continue to download your objects. You are, after all, MY Mad Cow! But even Mad Cows do not deserve such critisism.
Much Love (even though you're insane!),

I think you display your pictures beautifully, I didnt even think twice whether or not that were "in-game" pictures, I know with clothes and eyes you need in-game pictures, I had my stuff rejected for my eyes once... but for pictures?? I trust that your pictures look the same in the game... That person who reported must have a grudge of some kind to do that to you!! Maybe that person had their stuff rejected for not having an in-game picture and feels that everyone should suffer around them... I had my screenshot reported for no reason at all, someone obviously came along and clicked it either to be a newsonce or accidental. It was a picture of my girl in a dress I uploaded to tsr! So reasons I do not know?? lol...
and what a gutless way to do it... I would have sent you a PM asking about your items... instead of just reporting you

Why the heck would they report? That i don't understand. I love how they are shown up close and not far away with some clutter i'd really like which takes the audience's mind of the painting itself. But a con, theres always one :P, is that you don't know how big the painting might be. It could take up the whole room or just a fraction. I guess it might've been the reason for the report but they shouldn't have done that way to solve it.
I love the way you display your pics, dont change what you do.

I am a fan of your pictures. and the way you present them is GREAT! You can report the person reporting on you or just ignore people like that. The attention they are getting they are unworthy of.
Keep up the GREAT work!

Hummmm, I love your paintings. Who needs an in game preview when yours are so well presented just by the cover screen. I love them and I love the way they are presented. Keep up the good work. I have so many of yours already. I can't get enough of them. And I will keep on downloading them too
I am a big fan of yours

Hi sweety, when i was doing this a few years ago, the requirement by this site was an in games pic, so if they dont insist on it now its not your doing, you are doing what you are allowed and thats where your responsibility ends, you do a great service to your users and provide us with beautiful decor for our simmies homes. dont be put down by one picky person, i know how hurtful it is, i had something like this happen to me once and i was actually crying about it, it spoilt things for me and after fighting back and the support from my friends, i got back on track. Just keep giving us all you've got and Bah to the selfish jealous person that felt the need to do this to you. YOU GO GIRL, WE LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
