EA add-ons: French panelled walls
The ornate French panelling from World Adventures is perfect for grand, formal rooms, which are generally highly symmetrical. So why does the asymmetrical dual-panelled wall only come in one version (with a narrow panel on the left and a wider one on the right)?
I made a second version of the wall, with the panels swapped over (not a straightforward mirror image, since the trim at the top of the wall isn’t reversible). Then, while trying it out in a room, I noticed curly edges of panelling sticking out from under paintings and mirrors and spoiling the general effect. So the set grew to include versions with only one of the upper panels, to frame wall decorations, and with only the lower panels (single or double), to accommodate larger paintings or whole walls of ancestral portraits. All of the walls based on the dual-panelled original come in both left- and right-handed versions. There’s also one with just the cornice, skirting and chair rail, which is useful for walls around doors and large windows, or in case you want some ‘quieter’ areas of wall, without panelling.
Like the original walls, these have four recolourable channels and can be found under panelling in the catalogue. Those with both upper and lower panels cost §10, while the plainer ones are §8. There’s a single preset, which matches the existing EA walls.
Programs used: S3OC, S3PE and GIMP.

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.
