Wish EA curtains and shutters were modular? Me too.
So here are the two base game shutters separated into left and right pieces for greater flexibility. They are shiftable so they can fit most windows and they automatically purchase another after placement.
The meshes were also moved around just slighty so that now the tall ones don't cut through window frames and the short sit right up against the frame instead of having a gap exposing wall, so even using these separate pieces over a single tile window looks slightly better than the originals.
chasmchronicle already has a great set of modular EA curtains, shutters and blinds on MTS here, but I wanted ones that were flagged as a wall object and therefore hide when the walls are down so they don't block your view.
Object Info:
*These are brand new objects, they are not default replacements.*
Same presets and channels as the originals. Found under Curtains and Blinds in the catalogue.
Tips:
Patch 1.67
Polygon Counts:
*refer to table above*

Name | Price | Polygons (High~Low) |
---|---|---|
Shy Shutters Left | $80 | 131~27 |
Shy Shutters Right | $80 | 131~27 |
Shout Out Shutters Left | $65 | 136~50 |
Shout Out Shutters Right | $65 | 136~50 |
Tips:
- Holding down 'alt' as you shift them up and down allows for more precision.
- Place the first one and shift it to the desired height then clone it with the eyedropper tool to get more at the exact same height.
- Sometimes getting them on the right side of the wall can be tricky (especially if intersecting a roofline), so you might have to manually rotate them using '<' and '>' a few times but you'll eventually get them in the right spot.

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.
