These are extremely gorgeous, thank you! Especially for making ornamented walls that work for a two-storied house.

I'm getting invalid archive when I download it. Can someone verify this file please?

Hi all!

Thank you very much for your comments. Really enjoyed making them and I am very happy, that you find them useful.

@ChandriaAnn:
Yes, I know this problem. But the file is not corrupt, it's because of the servers. When many people are online it's sometimes difficult to download files here.
But just try it again - I do when I have this problem and it works for sure then.

If you're having trouble downloading and you don't have a download manager, get one. Someone here (can't remember who) recommended this one: http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/

I haven't had any downloading problems since getting it, well, except for the occasional Windows IE cannot connect to this site, which usually means too many people trying to download at the same time. If this happens, go back and try again. I have definitely not had any more corrupt files or unexpected end of archive errors.

Your welcome. Now if I could just figure out how to use Photoshop & SimPE, I could create something... I saw a rug in a mag today that I thought would look really cool in game. Guess I'm going to have to get out the manual and work through it. bummer =)

Yes - try it out. It's hard in the beginning and I had to learn many things about photoshop. But there are many good photoshop tutorials out there. And many people around here wrote good custom content creating tutorials.
It's worth giving it a try.

Wow, himawara! So realistic and stylish. They are just perfect for my new hotel project :D

Just one question about creating such walls/textures...:
Do you use real images to edit them in Photoshop or is there another way to get such an impressive result?

Hi jon,

thanks for your comment. For this set I used realistic borders (pics) and made walls from the background of the borders. Then I tweaked the walls a bit and worked with shadows, the stamp tool etc. I posted them in the Creator Feedback Forum and got help from several people mentioned above.

Grüße nach Deutschland - and good luck for the EM - finale!

Ah ok, Thanks a lot for your help. Texturing is always quite complicated for me but you are obviously a real pro

Schönes Wochenende; with or without football

And you seem to be a real pro in making meshes. Something which I hadn't figured out yet. But I try to get a bit insight in Blender, when I have more time.

Ebenfalls schönes Wochenende. Bin eigentlich kein Fußball-Fan, aber dadurch dass es ja in Wien stattfindet, kann man dem ganzen nicht wirklich entfliehen.
