**Outdated**: Set of 12 Stair Recolours *linked* with matching Railings, Fences, Walls and Floors
linked_stairs_12colours.jpg - width=1005 height=565
All stairs are linked with their matching railings, fences and floors (outdoors) and also with matching walls (indoors)
linked_stairs_1.jpg - width=1280 height=1024
Linked stairs - pinewood, redwood, red
linked_stairs_3.jpg - width=1280 height=1024
Linked stairs - yellow, green, blue
linked_stairs_4.jpg - width=1280 height=1024
Linked stairs - white, pink, purple
linked_stairs_2.jpg - width=1280 height=1024
Linked stairs - grey old wood, dark old wood, black

*Edit (2010-04-25): All files were checked with the newest update version (3.2.6.005001) - they still work fine in game and can be used both with the base game and also with the latest expansion pack "Luxury Accessoires", however, no expansion pack is required for these files. Please note that these files cannot be modified with the design tool in game (this option wasn't available when these files were uploaded in September 2009).
*Edit (2009-09-21): Upon request I added a file with all 12 recolours for those who want all colours in one rar file. Please download this file if you intend to install all files to your game.
*Edit (2009-09-20): I just edited the packages of the "Dark Old Wood" and the "Grey Old Wood" so that the repetitions of the textures are less obvious then shown on the pictures.

Absolutely NO original file will be replaced by these recolours. The stairs, railings and fences all show up in game with their own thumbnail pictures.
You'll find all these recolours in build mode. The recolours of the "Homestyle Ascension Device from NanoTech Crafters" can be found in the stairs&railings category and they cost 12 $imoleons per step. Click on the railings symbol of the same category to access the railing recolours. Railings don't cost any extra $imoleons. The recolours of the "Gentle Fence"can be found in the fence category and its price is 22 $imoleons.
Please note that these new colours won't automatically be included in your packaged lot if you export it from your game. The new recolour packages need to be installed for showing up with your lot in game.
Enjoy the new colours!

Additional Credits:
Peter and Inge Jones for two great tools - S3PE and S3OC Xanathon for the Tutorial: Clone A Painting and change the Texture [...]
Srikandi for the easy to understand Mini-Tutorial: linking stairs, railings and fences - without this tutorial I wouldn't have been able to make all stairs work in game.
Note from the Creator:
Please install all five packages for each colour you want to use in game. The stairs are linked with the included railings, fences, walls and floors.
If you only want to use the fences you may just install those files. You also can use the stairs and railings seperately if you don't have the auto-railing funktion enabled. Otherwise the missing linked objects will be replaced by the default file.

Install Instructions
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
