Hi all,

This's a doubly-sided version of Rgiles' transparent tiles as an addition to this thread.
Users can choose which version to use.

What I did:
1. I altered a setting to make them doubly-sided.
2. I re-sorted or altered the frost tile settings. Back to the days, such sorting wasn't easily done or considered necessary due to insufficient amount of knowledge about that. I did this just as an improvement hopefully.

Differeces:
1. this set are doubly-sided, and that means these tiles can be ceiling tiles as well. They're "bottomful".:D
2. the frost tile has been fixed to be HCP-friendly at least true in the base game configuration. UNI and NL with HCP are reported working well.

Similarities:
1. similar file sizes
2. same guid IDs

Limitations:
1. use either set due to the same guid ID.

How to choose:
1. the doubly-sided version will take about twice amount of system resources the singly-sided version needs to run, so users with not much system resources may try the singly-sided one first to see the hardware can afford that first before trying the doubly-sided version.
2. the singly-sided version will remain for users with fewer system resources.

Distribution Issues:

Wow! These are amazing! Congratulations! 5 Stars, Thanks and Downloaded. Bang.

Excellent! Thank you very much.

Thanks!!!

i agree

Very good tiles Giles. I would also share some transparent floors with all of you on a future.

Ooooh!!
This is very cool, it goes ESPECIALLY well with Numenor's seamless wall-windows!
AHH!!
Which will be my first upload... *cackles*
"Glass House"
:3
Thanxxxx

Awesome job man! This is perfect... Thanks!!! :D

Thanks these are awesome, I built a house that is entirly Greenhouse walls in the hopes of watching my one sim turn into a plant sim. So for half of the second floor these tiles look great and really give that greenhouse effect. The other half of the house is open so trees can grow through to the second floor. Thanks alot.

Hi, I'm Salix Tree from Parsimonious.
(I couldn't send you a private message, your mailbox is full!)
I recently made a house which uses your transparent floor tiles. The floor looks really cool!
I'd like your permission please, to be allowed to include your floor in my lot, to be available for dowloads on Parsimonious. Credit is always given.
... waiting eagerly for your reply.

Cheers,
SalixTree

it says RGiles hasn't been active for almost 20 months, and I kinda assume he's not back any sooner...

It's been a very long time of practice to link back to this thread and give credits back to Rgiles for his transparent tiles in cases of lot uploads...

So, I'd assume one can carry on this common practice for Rgiles' tiles...

Yet, if still worrisome, one can always learn how to make transparent tiles for one's own purpose.

Good Lucks...

The reason for the blue tint on these floor tiles on ground, is because the sims 2 3D world's background is blue, as a sky. The floor, being on the ground, acts as a kind of window to this background. This is why it is blue when on the ground.

Anyway, good job! Downloading now

very good! i see this floor in a house and i love it! now i can get it without the big enormous house! but thi house was beautifull and wonderfull and all that, but is is enormous and big!

Thank you -_-

I FOUND IT! It is under mirrors... And you put it over any floor tile. It is reflective but not to the point of a mirror. But is mainly used for screenshots as it slows down the game considerably. Apparently it needs an expansion pack but I am not sure. Hope this helps some of your simmers.

Great! Thank you!

Oh! gorgeous creation! These floors will make my house so modern. Thanks!

Hi! It's great! I love it! Thank you.

I have one question.
Can I include it in my paid houses?
Please answer here or send me a message.

OMG!

Uh, you don't do anything. Just put the unzipped file in Documents/EA Games/ Sims 2/ Downloads. If the file isn't there, create it. That's it.

Awesome tiles and they look so nice on my roof! :-) Thanks again for making these!

Thank you very much.I've been looking for this for 3 weeks. By the way,works like a charm. Thanx again.

Thank you very much!!! RGiles~!!! very wonderful tile~!!!!
