Woooohoooo! I finally did it. A glass framed painting. First and formost, thank you to Orangemittens. Without her wonderful tutorial and personal help this would not be possible *cheers and applause*. Presented here is a my sims 2 character Hisayo London posing as Dorthy Dandridge. She was created for a contest here at MTS. Work got in the way and I had to back out, but I didn't want such a nice picture to go to waste. So, after a lot of work we have a lovely painting with a special glass frame. The cost is a mere 300 simoleans. Even better than that it only has 86 total faces/polygons. A few things to note:
1. This objects is cloned from the medicine cabinet deco. So, your sim can not view it like a regular painting and it only has 1 room point (I haven't been able to make heads or tails out of the info to change this yet).
2. The frame only has a single foot print, but takes up two. Objects placed too close will pass through.
3. The first "color" option in the package has a sheen, the other two do not. Take your pick of styles.
4. Technically there are no recolor options.
Here is the finished project:
Here's a shot so you can see the relative size:
Want to see just how clear the glass is?
A few more things. On my monitor, you get a reflection of the picture in the frame on the left side of the frame. OM kindly took a screenshot for me, and she doesn't have that reflection. So, It appears that this has something to do game settings. My screenshot is on the right, OM's is on the left.
AND, while there are no recolors, the glass can be changed using Orangemittens tutorial (linked above) and modding the diffuse line code in mtlrsc 6 of the main MLOD. It's really not hard to do. Here is an example:
Bigger pictures in attachments. Anyway, have fun with it.
Polygon Counts:
86 polygons
128 vertices

This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.

Install Instructions
Quick Guide:
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.
