on a shelf called the Stairway to Cleveland...
A mysterious stairway that goes nowhere…but does it really? Might it lead to the past? Or another dimension? Or maybe, it just goes to Cleveland? And what if something from the distant past, or another dark dimension, or gasp, Cleveland decides to come down those stairs in the middle of the night…Well, better put a bunch of plants and doodads on it so that the interdimensional thing from Cleveland’s past trips and tumbles down the stairs, making lots of noise, which wakes you up, and you run, run, fast as you can while it wheezes and snuffles and plays accordion music behind you…
Oooooh, really makes you wonder…

The Stairway to Cleveland Plant Stand has three recolorable channels:

There are four presets:


No expansion or stuff packs are needed. The Stairway to Cleveland Plant Stand was play tested on a base game fully patched to 1.36 and on a game full of expansions and stuff packs using 1.33. It might work on other levels, but there are no guarantees.
Note: There is a small defect in the mesh, a little bit of flickering that occurs in a piece of the central post. This defect is also present in the EA staircase mesh that I kithri-fied. There was no way to remove it without completely rebuilding the mesh, the thought of which made me curl into the fetal position.

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.
