*Edit (2012-03-01): Both the Picket Fence and the Picket Gates are now CASTable in Game, therefore you do no longer need to download these recolours. If you have built a lot with these files included you may still download and use them for your game, they still work fine (playtested with game patched to 11.0.84.014017).
*Edit (2010-04-25): All files were checked with the newest update version (3.2.6.005001) - they still work fine in game and can be used both with the base game and also with the latest expansion pack "Luxury Accessoires", however, no expansion pack is required for these files. Please note that these files cannot be modified with the design tool in game (this option wasn't available when these files were uploaded in August 2009).
Many objects in build mode can't be changed. In game you'll find the picket fence and picket gate only in 3 colours: white, brown and dark brown ...
- not anymore! ...NEW: they're modifiable with the design tool!
With this download you'll be able to chose from 5 completely new colours of the picket fence. Two more wood-colours (pinewood and redwood), a light grey and two versions with a more wrecked look - a mossy-like and a rusty looking colour. The good news is: they don't replace the original colours of the "White (or not) Picket Fence" & "White (or not) Picket Gate" and they all show up in game with their own thumbnail pictures.
I didn't change the original price of 42$ for the picket fence and the 110$/180$ for the single/double picket gate, therefore you'll find all these recolours in build mode\fences (or build mode\gates) next to the original picket fence and/or picket gates.
Please note that these new colours won't automatically be included in your packaged lot if you export it from your game. The new fence colour package needs to be installed for showing up with your lot in game.
Enjoy your new coloured garden fences!

Install Instructions
Quick Guide:
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
