9/9/2012 - Aweeshie did some gorgeous recolors of these using colors from CuriousB and Aelia. You can find the link under the related tab.
In games without Pets or higher the walls will still show up in your game but the left and right trim pieces won't be seamless when used in combination with the other walls. Many thanks to HugeLunatic for helping me figure that out. And sorry to any downloaders who might have been disappointed with the way these walls showed in their pre-Pets game.
There's twelve new colors (three walls each) of the clapboard siding that came with the Mansions & Gardens stuff pack, Unexpected Sidings. I tried to cover the basics and stick to colors I can actually see myself using but even with that there's still 36 walls. They're all clearly labled to make cleaning out any you don't use easier.
These recolors were deliberately colored unevenly and that gives them a bit of a streaky look which might not appeal to everyone. I think it makes the natural wood colors a little more realistic though to have the different shades and just makes the brighter colors more interesting. I hope you enjoy them. And if you're interested see the Related Posts tab for a matching scalloped siding and also a great set of darker recolors by iCad.
