Thanks! These will be useful. I found the siding ones a little worrying - look like a fire hazard to me - but these are great.

Can we use these in house uploads?

Hehe, true true. Maybe they put the siding on a chimney of bricks or concrete?

Yes, absolutely. But I'd appreciate a link back to where you got it.

It will be nice to be able to co-ordinate a house now. Thanks very much.

Kimsie,
Thank you very much! These are terrific.

Is there anyway to make them so that they don't change back to the default chimney in the neighborhood screen shot?

Thanks Again!

Not that I know of, unfortunately. Think it's the same reason why the chimney reverts back to the bricks when you move it. My theory, remember that I really don't know, just guessing, is that it has to do with the CEP. The chimneys weren't originally recolourable, but were made so thanks to Numenor's effort. Probably it has to do with how they were made recolourable, maybe it's not possible to create a non-reverting recolor that will show up in the neighborhood screent, thanks to how Maxis programmed it.

I love using matching and contrasting chimneys, and this is a wonderful set. Thanks for your work, and it definitely deserves a gold star!

Wonderful upload! However I seem to be having trouble getting the uppermost section of the chimney to recolour. Anyone else expierencing this?

Sometimes, when you're too close to the chimney (just before it turns transparent) it looks like you can recolor it, but nothing happens when you click on it with the design tool.
I don't know if that was how you experienced it, but if it is, all you need to do is to zoom out, or move back a little and it should be recolourable.

Hope this helps.
