Workshop Rules FAQs
About Removals
"What happens if my model is removed?"
Steam requires a temporary ban from uploading to Steam Workshop when a model is removed. This is something we cannot alter, unfortunately.
Once your ban is over, if your model can be adjusted to follow the rules, you can try uploading the new version. Do not reupload the same model again.

"I reported a model and nothing was done about it."
If you made your report on Steam, we cannot see that report. In this case, it's possible the report was dismissed by another party (i.e. Steam moderator) before we got to it.
It's also possible we dismissed the report ourselves. If you feel a model deserves another look, you can send a report again as well.
Sexual Content Clarification
"I’m not sure if my model breaks any of the rules related to sexual content or inappropriateness and would like more info."
Here are some more details on those rules:
Inappropriately Exposed Skin
Don't upload nude models. Models of anthropomorphic animals and creatures without clothes may be removed depending on the level of body detail or stylization.
Genitalia details are not allowed. Models may be removed for body details on the chest or pelvic area.
Models with clothes that expose skin on the chest may be removed if the clothing borders on nudity or is otherwise excessively revealing. These are handled case by case.
Models' clothing should cover the pelvic area (front and back, below the midriff).
Hyper-sexualized Features
Your model may be removed if it has commonly sexualized features that are over-exaggerated or are an otherwise very prominent aspect of the model to an extent that seems inappropriate.
Pornographic Reference / Origin
If your model comes from a pornographic source, you must modify the character to abide by our rules. We'll review these types of models on a case by case basis.
Sexually Explicit / Implicit Language and Thumbnails
Your model, model name, thumbnails, and description shouldn't include language that references or alludes to sexual acts, pornography, or other sexual or sexually suggestive topics.
Fetishes
Models that clearly allude to sexual fetishes such as through fetish-related clothing, over-exaggerated features, language in the description, etc. will be removed.
More Clarification
"I’m still not sure if my model breaks the rules on inappropriate content."
That is all the elaboration we'll be giving on specific rules, so please use your best judgment when interpreting the rules. Tower Unite isn't intended to be a sexual, sexualized, or pornographic game.
There may be issues that arise that aren't covered in these rules, and we handle things on a case-by-case basis. Again, please just use your best judgment.
Why No NSFW Workshop?
"Why don't you allow sexual content in Workshop?"
Player models are used in public areas of Tower Unite, and we don't want players to feel like they have to be exposed to sexual or otherwise inappropriate content in order to experience Workshop content in the game.
"Will you add an 18+ filter for Workshop?"
No.
