This isn't about how to upload but more about custom content.

I never intended to be a creator so I have never kept a log of where my downloads are from and who made them.

However, I have built some houses recently which I am quite proud of so was thinking about uploading them.

Is there a way that I can find out who made custom content so I can credit them?

Or can I post it and ask people to credit themselves?

What are my options here?

You will need to credit the creators yourself.

There are several ways you can use to find out who made the content if you haven't kept a record.

• Package your lot and then open it up in Clean Installer. That will tell you who created most of it as sometimes it is labelled with the creator's name.
• Google images is a good way too.
• Use WCIF

For the future I would start by organising your download folder, it will help you immensely with later uploads. When I create I tend to keep a list of the CC I use as I go along. Also, some CC doesn't attach to the lot, eg bedding, roofs, and some pictures.

In addition to what Karen said, when you upload a lot (or recolors) that includes uploads that are here on MTS the upload wizard can/will fill those in for you. I do believe that will only happen if those items have been included in previous uploads though. (Gah, that's kind of confusing! Sorry. Also, if I'm wrong about that someone please correct me.)

It's also a good idea to check the catalogue descriptions of the CC items you've used, as they often contain the creator's name.

Ok, what's the upload wizard and how does it work because the majority of my CC is from this site

I would read the Creator Guidelines here. There is also an FAQ on how the wizard works.

When I am preparing an upload I follow this procedure:
Create the lot for upload
Take the required images and prepare them
Package the lot
Write the CC list (along with the links)
Remove excess CC from the package in Clean Installer Zip/rar the file
Write upload text in Word
Upload

The upload wizard is the sites upload form and what you use up the top under Create ^ to upload your lot. One of the pages in there will know you have used used custom content and will then open a page with many of the items listed with the name of the item and the creator-when it comes from this site. You will need to check this though as often I find the link just goes to the creators page which I don't think is always the best for the people downloading your lot. I always try and change that for a direct link to the item so the downloader knows exactly what is is in case they already have it or don't want it. You will also need to check that the creator's item that you used allows their work to be re-uploaded, if not you will need to make a separate link in the text of your upload to the site the item is from so the downloader can go grab it for themselves.
