Hey tigmomx4, this is really awsome. I've already downloaded and it looks great in game. I think I'm going to use this in one of my new houses I plan to upload soon. When do you plan on releases your new project?

Like aluminum trim ????

If so that would be very difficult as i would have to make trim pieces for ALL the windows in game and that would be time consuming ...

Nice Touch Of Realism Into The Game....

Yes I agree as well, quite shallow and pedantic....

Hi Tigmomx4! First I wanted to tell you how nice the houses look with your gutters on them and how well made I feel they are.

Now, the problem. It's probably just my game or the lot I tried them on or the fact that I only have S2,Uni,NL and OFB. Anyway, I installed them on a Sim Sunday while the whole family was inside. Once done, I told the fat Dad and Mom to go swimming (trying to get them to lose some weight). They both went to the back door and stood throwing a fit. I was paying too much attention to them as I was focused on their teens. I finally noticed though, but not in time to see the little pictures of what was wrong. I told them again to get in the pool and this time I noticed that the Dad was seeing a little black and white picture of the gutters. I thought, "What? You are on the first floor and the gutters are on the second floor. What in the world would the gutters have with you not being able to get out the door?" Because they were both still in the house. Anyway, I tried the front door, the garage. Nothing. I had to remove the gutters, then they had no problem going outside.

Like I said, it's probably just my game, but I thought I would post it and see if anyone else has had this problem. If not, I'll start trying to take things out of my downloads to see if there may be something else causing it, but adding the gutters were the only thing I had changed.

Simsane - You know what now that you mentioned that , it just dawned on me that these are cloned from a statue and therefore when they are placed they will act like a statue and retain the footprint of the statue ...I guess i need to figure out a way to remove that footprint and allow them to be walked through...

erikfrancke - Why do you have to download them individually ????? there is a completegutters.rar with ALL the gutters and is only 355.4 kb

bradyseitz : there are only 2 parts of this set with actual textures ..the rest pull their texture from these 2 objects ...Make sure you have the basegutter1xnf and the basegutter2xnf package files in your downloads folder and ALL other gutters should have the correct textures ....as for the gutters not lining up ??? I tested all the pieces in game and none of them that i could see had gaps .....If you tell me which pieces exactly dont line up right i can look and see whats going on ...All the packages are uniquely named for the piece that they are ....


Does this mean they will show up blue in the catalogue? Mine do, and I always install with Q-Express, I tried redownloading and they still show up blue. I have yet to use them because, well, I figured they were broken.

If you do not have the 2 MAIN gutter files they will not show any texture... I have no idea if they would show up blue in the catalogue but i know in game they will if you do not have the 2 basegutter's in place in your downloads folder ...If you have both them then i guess you just need to delete your thumbnails from the folder to refresh the catalogue view ....

Hi tigmomx4, I just remembered earlier today that I had posted regarding the gutters, lol! Have had a lot on my mind lately. Anyway, that makes sense. If you work out the problem I would love to re-download these as they give my house a nice finished appearance. Funny how you don't realize something's missing until you actually see it, isn't it?

Also, the person stating that they were flashing blue, isn't that usually related to needing the Color Enabler? Or am I remembering incorrectly and that's related to not having the right EP's? Anyway, just throwing out ideas.
