Versatile Shelving: Half Shelves & In-between Uprights
1.jpg - width=823 height=800
2.jpg - width=823 height=665
3.jpg - width=181 height=600

The objects included here will mix-match with the Versatile Shelves and the Glass Versatile Shelves I uploaded before.

When trying these out in my WA game I noticed that the shadows the shelves cast are very dark and cumulative. For this reason these shelves and uprights have no shadow. They do not cast a shadow on the floor and they do not cast a shadow on the wall. I have updated the Versatile Shelving post to include a download version of the original set which also has no shadows. You can find those here:
http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?p=3172891
These shelves have been tested in my base game with no patches and my WA game which is patched through December. They have three recolorable parts. They will go up against a wall with no cheats. Each piece costs $10 and can be found in Buy/Surfaces/Miscellaneous.
They tile nicely and will not distort patterns applied to them:

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
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.
