This is intended primarily as an interior door, but works as an exterior as well, providing you don't mind the gap between the two glass panes. There's nothing fancy here, just a plain old sliding door with clean lines and transparent surfaces. It also works on diagonal walls.
Recolorable wood and glass, just like the stairs. This door was made using the same textures and material definitions used in the mistral stairs and fence. It is not repositoried because a few alterations were necessary to get the shadows in the right places. Also, you may notice in these pics that some of the glass colors look pale and chalky. I had trouble getting the lighting right while making these screenshots. It's the effect of too many lights and not a difference in color that make them look weird. They still match; I'm just a terrible photographer.

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.

About Me
I don't mind if you include any of these meshes with your lots**, as long as you provide a link to the original MTS page for the mesh. Posting my mesh on any site by itself, or claiming it as your own work, would be considered rude and a breach of my trust and love for you as a fellow simmer.
**Above policy does not apply to Remote Control Thing - it contains an NPC that could possibly corrupt a neighborhood when removed, and I doubt that downloaders would appreciate something like that hidden in a downloaded lot.
