Recolor Your Stairs!! *Updated*
Non-recolorable stairs...what a giant step backwards. So while the wait is on for true recolorable stairs I felt the need to at least make a cover-up for the existing stairs.
- Two recolorable parts (tread/base)
- Found in Deco/Misc
- Costs $5
- Custom Thumbs -
I have had some difficulty applying the railings after these were placed, but I have difficulty placing them normally. Your experience may vary. You will need to use the moveobjects on cheat to place these. Since this is placed on the ground under the stairs they still function normally. These are really only useful at this time for single foundation height stairs, but with cheats they do can be placed at angles for diagonal stairs.
Each one is a half wall height one starts at the ground and the other starts halfway up as shown. Put two together to create a full height.
Polygon Counts:
140
280
This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.

Install Instructions
1. Click the download button, or the filename, 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.

Installation of CEP Extras-the package with pfiles appended to the name will go into your cep extras folder where your game is installed (typically c drive, you do you)
-the other goes in CEP extra folder in documents.
The following locations are what I am aware of, beyond that you'll have to do some searching.
Downloads Folder:
C:\Users\<user>\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Legacy
C:\Users\<user>\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection
With multiple launchers, the location for your game install will vary.
