These are amazing. I loved the window, but it wasn't practical for a house - now, perfect! Thank you!

There is a problem with the three-tile windows -- both of them won't place in the Base Game. See screenshots: without moveobjects on, they simply remain unplaceable; with moveobjects on they do place of course but the wallmask does not work. Both three-tile windows behave exactly the same; all of the others work fine.

And you have a window named "tb_Craftsman_1Tile_Privacy_Open_window.package" in *both* of the downloads, is that on purpose?

Thanks for making these, they're a brilliant addition to the maxis ones =)

tbudgett, making sure I did this right: I downloaded these for the first time today, and install with sims 2 file maid. I installed the window packages first and then the fix, saying Yes to overwriting.

I have all ep's and sp's, have recently cleared all my 17,000 downloads out for only maxis match stuff ( plus a FEW of my favorites!) With the work you all are doing, we don't need a lot of the game-clogging stuff we downloaded 3 years ago! Thanks!!

Amysmom - That combination of downloading will work fine but you really don't need the fix unless you downloaded the windows prior to November 12. I tried doing the same thing with my DL folder but there are just too many 'gotta have's' out there...goodluck and thanks.

TaylorGuy- Some detail is, naturally, lost when trying to fit an oversized or undersized mesh onto a Maxis texture. It's necessary to use the Maxis texture to maintain the repository link between mine and the Maxis item. I am, both, inspired and limited by what Maxis created. Thanks & sorry for your disappointment.

I download items every day, and this has to be the best download I've made in weeks. Thanks a lot! I know I've downloaded from you before, so I know to expect something good, but today this was a surprise finding these. And I use the Maxis windows a lot, only I hadn't found yours all this time.

These windows are beautiful! I use them in all of my houses, and each time I have to re-load, after destroying my downloads folder, I make sure I re-install these wonderful windows. Fabulous work - I like that you have the option to use an open window or shut. Please make more creations.
