I absolutely love creations which expand the original Maxis objects, especially those for build mode. It makes creating a lot in a single style so much easier. I already have a series for the Lafentre windows and doors that windkeeper made, but these will add some much-needed diversity. Spectacular work, thanx!

They will be able to take on all the colours from the original Maxis window of this type. I believe there is already a darker colour in that range.

Absolutely fantastic - you have satisfied the building needs of my inner pedant, lol

What I lack in decorum, I make up for with an absence of tact.

Great!!

I love finding new building options, and these are great. I really like the low privacy windows.. they'd be good for a basement or split level.

When I'll have time.......

I really hate the only privacy window and I made more different types. My first idea was to share all my privacy windows together. But some are coordinated with orginal windows, so is better to share them in expansion set.
I'll share them as soon as possible.

Lafenetre winodw is one of my favourite. I made my expansion set ofcourse. I don't share it becouse I know windkeeper made it too, even if mine are different.
Perhaps I'll share only the different items I made......

Thanks for making stuff base game compatible

I think, when it's possible, the expansion items need to be compatible with the base game ore the EP with the original is available.

Making a one-tile window that's centered over 2 tiles is just genius! I've wanted windows and door like this forever, because I'm really into symmetry. I want everything evenly spaced.

This was just my intantion.

Thanks Inge. It seemed don't have an end.....

I downloaded this 2 days ago and since then my game crashes when saving. I disabled your content and it worked perfectly. Not only have I lost a house that took 4 hours to make but I spent another 2 isolating this download to be the problem. Im very disappointed!! :@

I'm sorry but I can't reproduce your problem in my games and in a base-game only installation.
I use them in more lots and different neighborhoods, and they work fine. They never had crashed my game.

They don't crash my game, and I've used them plenty, yesterday infact. Last time I had a crash from an object, it was a door from 4ESF that conflicted with a Maxis door. You probably have a similar problem.

I love these windows, even when there was just the maxis ones! But a problem I've always had with them is that no door seems to match. I hate to be greedy ( kind of ) but I was wondering if you plan to ever include matching doors?

Thank you so much! I was always frustrated at the size of the original windows. Now I think I'll use them more when building... ^_^

Just put these in my game ( I finally have a computer that can handle a ton of custom content =)) They look great and I'm trying the 3 and 4-tile-windows next. Great work (as usual), and thanks a million!
