Tips for Mod Creators Submitting Here
If you've built something and want to share it, here's what actually makes a submission move through review quickly versus getting stuck going back and forth.
Write a real description, not a placeholder. "New tractor mod, enjoy!" tells a downloader nothing and is one of the most common reasons a listing looks unfinished. A good description covers what the mod actually is, key specs if relevant (price, working width, horsepower, capacity — whatever applies), what configurations or options it has, and anything it requires to work (another mod, a specific map, Precision Farming, and so on). A few sentences of real detail is worth far more than an enthusiastic one-liner.
Use real in-game screenshots. Renders, promotional artwork, or images borrowed from somewhere else don't represent what a downloader will actually see, and get flagged during review. A quick screenshot taken in-game, in reasonable lighting, showing the mod from an angle that makes it recognizable, is what you want. If it's a vehicle, a three-quarter view usually reads better than a straight side-on shot.
Pick the right category. If you're not sure where something belongs, our guide to how categories work is worth a look before submitting — a mod sitting in the wrong category is one of the more common things that gets corrected during review, which just adds a delay.
Credit what you're building on. If your mod is a re-skin, a config for someone else's base mod, or otherwise derivative of another creator's work, say so and credit them. Beyond being the right thing to do, undisclosed derivative work is one of the few things that can get a submission rejected outright rather than just sent back for changes.
Test the download link before submitting. A broken or misconfigured link is an easy, entirely avoidable reason for a submission to bounce. Download your own file from the link you're about to submit and confirm it's actually the right file.
None of this is complicated, but it's exactly the difference between a listing that goes live on the first pass and one that needs a round of back-and-forth first.
