Your sims should come from the perspective of your characters and drive the story forward. Descriptions (:: Susan saw the really neat thing. ::) and thoughts (oO I wonder if she'll notice me. Oo) that originated in sims for other characters should always be removed and the events of the sim presented from your characters' perspective.

Our content rating aboard Veritas is equivalent to the Motion Picture Association of America's '''PG-13 rating'''. This is content that may not be suitable for those under the age of 13 yet not so explicit as to be rated R (restricted). PG-13 is what the last four ''Star Trek'' movies (''Nemesis, Star Trek/2009, Into Darkness'', and ''Beyond'') as well as ''Star Trek: First Contact'' were rated. Basically, if you wouldn't see it on one of the ''Star Trek'' television shows or in a ''Star Trek'' movie (such as excessive swearing, explicit sexual situations, or graphic violence), then it should not be simmed aboard Veritas.

:''Note: The recent ''Star Trek'' shows ''Discovery'' and ''Picard'' are both rated '''TV-MA''' and are equivalent to an R rating. While the content of these shows is considered canon for simming purposes, the explicit swearing and violence would not be appropriate on Veritas.''
Basically, if you wouldn't see it on one of the classic/family-friendly ''Star Trek'' television shows or in a ''Star Trek'' movie (such as excessive swearing, explicit sexual situations, or graphic violence), then it should not be simmed aboard Veritas.
