Rules before submitting your pack (These are of course in addition to the global forum rules):
  • Do not post your packs collection in one topic, make a separate topic for each of your pack.
  • Do not post duplicate pack or something not made by yourself.
  • Please include the pack version number in the title, NOT the game version.
  • If you have a 'cover image', with a max file size of 500KB. All cover image should be uploaded directly to the server, do not use third party image hosts.
  • You must provide 1 or more mirrors where possible, using only Approved File Hosts.
  • You must only use the Approved Image Hosts for all of your screenshots.
  • Ensure your title use the correct prefix (1 prefix maximum), lpPack.. or ForMods/Onhold where appropriate.
  • Upload your pack in the right category.
  • Any older pack versions should be removed from the forum except when no newer version is available.
  • We are not responsible, if someone copies / posts your pack without your consent, the best we can do is remove the faulty mod and sanction the member if they reoffend.

Suffix Definitions:
[Onhold]: The mod has been confirmed to be on hold by the developer.​ Go at the end of your title.
[ForMods]: The mod has been confirmed as copyright free by the developer.​ Go at the end of your title.

Prefix Definitions:
[LpPack]: for group of modified scenes including, if available, lpcharacters or lpworlds or a mixed of them.

Pack = lpscene + lpcharacter + lpworld files.
For submitting a pack of scenes, it must be submitted here: Mods for LifePlay
For submitting a pack of rooms/backgrounds, create a lpaddon instead of a pack.


Regarding packs (LpPack)
  • Thread titles should follow exactly the "Template" below, we are tired of correcting the titles of senior modders and even other staff.
    The title template should always be "[LpPack] MODNAME [VERSION Nº] [AUTHOR]" when you upload in Fan Shared Scenes section.
    Example: "[LpPack] MyPack [v1.0.9] [Raddeck]" or "[LpPack] MyPack [26-10-2021] [Raddeck]"
  • Ensure to follow the LifePlay syntax for your coding. See the Documentation for learning more.
  • Ensure to USE SPACES NOT TABS FOR INDENTATION. The game can't read Tab characters at all.
  • If the pack you want to share is a reworks of an old or discontinued pack, you need the author's permissions to take over their work before submitting it. If the creator is gone, you have permission until the creator returns.
  • If the pack is abandoned/hiatus update the suffix tag to reflect this (add the corresponding suffix tag).
  • When updating your pack, please check the content, version number and add new information if possible, so the player knows what content came after and it makes it easier to update.
