Why are Creation metrics included in the Tiers System? Won’t that cause Creators to flood the catalog?

Creation was included in the previous Tiers System and we feel this is a vital part of being an IMVU Creator. Creators can only achieve a maximum of 45 points for Creating. We think this safety net will de-motivate Creators from flooding their catalogs.

Why are my “New Mesh Submissions” and “New Texture and Animation Submissions?” not being counted?

New submissions are calculated each month and your current Tier is based on the previous month of activity. So in June your metrics will reflect activity between May 1 and May 31. This is why products submitted in the current month aren’t affecting your Tier level.

Are Outfits, Bundles, and Decorated Rooms counted in the Tiers System?

None of these product types are counted as Creations but they are counted as “Sales (derived).” Each individual item within them is also counted as “Sales (derived).”

Are Avatars Counted as Meshes?

If an avatar contains a mesh file it is considered a mesh. If an avatar only includes .xaf files (animation files) it will be counted as an animation.

Do products need to go through Peer Review to be counted in the Tiers System?

Creation metrics don’t require Peer Review. Sales metrics and Sellable Items require Peer Review.

Do music boxes count towards Creation?

If a music box only contains a sound trigger it does not count towards Creation. In order to count as a Creation, a product must contain a texture, animation or mesh file.
