Another one for the automatically closing curtains/blinds series! This time it's the EA Shout Out and Shy Shutters.
About This Content
These shutters are the same as the Shout Out Shutters/Shy Shutters from the base game. During the day (6AM - 6PM), the shutters are open. During the night (6PM - 6AM), they are closed.
There are two objects contained in the .zip-file, each containing one of the shutters.
Facts
- Found under "Decor" > "Curtains & Blinds" or "Bathroom"/"Dining Room" > "Curtains & Blinds"
- Price: 200 (Shy Shutters)/175 (Shout out Shutters)
- Needs the Supernatural EP
How does this work
The shutters use the "Commonwealth Court" painting, which was added with the Supernatural EP, as a base. If you're not familiar with it, the image in the painting changes based on the time of day. These different images are represented by geostates. For example, bookshelves also use different geostates - based on how many books have been added to the shelf, the shelf is displayed slightly different in-game.
This content uses geostates to decide what parts or faces of the object are displayed, making the shutters appear closed or opened. As with the painting, the game then automatically selects a geostate depending on the time of day.

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.
