Creator Guidelines
CFBMods is built for creators and players. These guidelines keep the mod directory useful, legal, and safe while giving creators a clean place to publish updates without juggling random file hosts.
Short version
Share original mod work, explain what it does, version it clearly, and do not upload copyrighted game files, piracy tools, malware, or anything pretending to be official EA/NCAA/NFL/team content.
Required before you publish
- [ok]Only upload work you created, have permission to share, or can legally redistribute.
- [ok]Do not upload full game files, paid content, leaked builds, keys, cracks, DRM bypass tools, or anything that helps users avoid buying the base game.
- [ok]Use clear names, screenshots, version notes, and install instructions so players know exactly what they are downloading.
- [ok]Use a descriptive title of at least 5 characters and choose only 1–3 relevant categories.
- [ok]Descriptions need at least 200 visible characters and 40 words explaining the changes, installation steps, required tools, tested game version, and known issues. Repeated filler and HTML padding do not qualify.
- [ok]Include at least one representative preview and release notes of at least 30 characters and 5 words. Mod requests, placeholders, and showcases are not downloadable mods.
- [ok]Upload ZIP, FBMOD, EXE, or MSI files up to 500 MB. Standalone images and videos are not mod downloads. ZIP packages must contain usable mod assets, a tool, or source code; screenshots, videos, and documents alone are not accepted.
- [ok]Keep downloads safe: no malware, deceptive installers, password traps, or unrelated bundled software.
- [ok]Respect creators, teams, players, schools, and leagues. Do not impersonate official accounts or claim EA/NCAA/NFL/team endorsement.
Make your listing useful
- [ok]Add multiple in-game screenshots or before-and-after previews showing the actual changes.
- [ok]Keep a changelog and explain how users should update from earlier versions.
- [ok]Include troubleshooting tips for common installation problems and conflicts.
- [ok]Credit contributors and upstream tools when they helped make the mod possible.
- [ok]Add support links on your profile if you want players to follow or support your work.
Files and downloads
Upload mod packages, patches, tools, screenshots, and other creator-made assets that are meant to be shared. Do not upload raw game dumps, paid DLC, official assets extracted for redistribution, serial keys, account credentials, or anything whose main purpose is bypassing purchase or platform controls.
If a mod requires external tools or a specific install process, explain that in the description. If a file is experimental, unsupported, or may conflict with other mods, say so up front.
Uploads are checked automatically before publication, including file contents and ZIP packages. The same requirements apply to edits, replacement downloads, and new versions. GitHub releases need supported downloadable assets and descriptive release notes; repository links must contain usable files or tool source code.
Moderation and takedowns
CFBMods may hide, edit, or remove listings that break these guidelines, create legal risk, mislead players, or harm the community. Repeat or severe abuse can result in account limits.
Rights holders or creators can request review of content they believe infringes their rights. See the terms for the broader takedown language.
