I really like those nice entryways they have to gardens in Spanish and Southwestern architecture, and TS4 has a lovely gate with a rustic archway above - but I don't always want a gate there, and I don't always want a lantern, either. Also, being a TS4 object, it was very oversized. So I converted it over to TS3, tweaked the model to give it more sensible proportions, and removed the gate and lantern. What you get is a standalone arch object, with a custom footprint so Sims can walk underneath it, but not through the columns, and a lantern to hang from it - also set so that it can be walked under.
Both of these have their intersection flags turned off so you can place them directly over gates without cheats, letting you mix and match to find something that suits you. Naturally, both are fully recolourable.

The lantern is modified from the Hewnsman Lantern from the TS3 Store, since the TS4 lantern was way too basic to make look good in TS3. It has four presets, each with its own stencil, just like the Hewnsman object it's based on.

The arch can be found under Decorative / Misc for ?125, and the lantern can be found under Lighting / Outdoors for ?45 .

Mesh and textures modified from The Sims 3 Store and The Sims 4
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.
