Konnichiwa! I have something very special for you today. Something I worked really, really hard on. My very first meshes!
Now, I rather like these windows. They are cute. But they are so big, they are much better suited for stores (they are from Open for Business after all). If you put them in a kitchen with the counter in front, you see the back of the counter when you look inside! Houses ARE NOT built like that last time I checked. So I raised up the bottom to meet the counters. Then I made more with a bottom raised above them. So you can pick which one you like. Diagonals are included as well.
Plus, these won't overwrite the originals so there is room for both in your game! Best of all, they get all their textures from the maxis ones, including recolors. (Yay repository technique!) Thus they have the same subsets as the original. One for the frame, and one for the window.
Before we continue, I would like to take time to give an extra special shout out to the wonderful, incredible, and PATIENT Leefish. Without her help, these windows would not exist. So I extend my gratitude for helping me with the issues and allowing me to complete this project. Even though she hates these windows, Leefish helped me figure out the problems. Give her a round of applause!

Fleur de Glee Mini Storybook-shorter/-even shorter:
My game description: This lovely window is for when your normal windows are reaching past your countertops in the kitchen. Tisk, tisk, that just won't do. That won't do at all. Magic wands were waved and fairy dust was sprinkled to bring you this new and improved Storybook Window. No longer shall you peek in from the outside only to see the back of your counter. NO LONGER!
Polycount: 1026
Price: 205 Simoleons
Location: With the windows in build mode, just where it belongs.
Fleur de Glee Storybook-shorter/-even shorter:
My game description: Is your normal Fleur de Glee going below your counters? Does it look ridiculous? Well today, I present to you, a window that does not have that issue as it ends higher up! AKA, Shorter!
Polycount: 1278
Price: 265 Simoleons

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
Using my stuff- Go ahead and use it for whatever, as long as it's kept off of pay sites and I get credit. I'd also appreciate it if you would show me what you're doing, and if you aren't sure I'd be okay with it, ask. If I haven't responded in 5 days time, do it anyways.
I hope my stuff is useful for you!
Requests- I take requests for recoloring objects and clothes, though I'll only do the ones I'm interested in.
