Achieve that elegant modern look you've always longed for with one-way windows, see-through from one side and dimly reflective on the other.
TS3 still lacks the public tools to freely control every aspect of the object, so these were made as a supplement for existing windows and not as integral objects.
The good news? It doesn't add a bazillion files to the game, just two – one straight and one diagonal tile to cling to your windows from the reflective side.
Works on all "single glass" windows – the ones where the glass is in the same depth. That is any window beside these:
The bad? Much like all mirrors, these too refuse to hide when the walls go down.
Once again – very restricted access to object data.
Oh, well.
Can be found under the Window category in Build Mode for 500$ a tile.
Polygon Counts:
Straight: 4
Diagonal: 4
Additional Credits:
Pythagoras for helping accurately calculate the width of the diagonal piece.

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.
