Nice work. Wall overlays are something that should have been made into a feature into the game. I really like the half-tile overlays! They will be useful in bathrooms and kitchens. Depending on how they look, I may see about slightly adjusting their textures up to be around counter height, for the purposes of kitchen nooks.

The suggestion of using them with the Wall Windows set was pure evil because now that's what I'm going to be doing all the time now.

Again, I say, "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" I gots me some work to do now, yeppers.

Perhaps this will inspire to get out of my actually-playing-the-game "rut" and into doing some creating, goshdurnit.

Thanks so much for these and the exterior ones.

I love the hiders and having the mesh in the architecture category. It's just so easy to overlook something in the deco section. I had just started on a similar project long, long, ago (lost it due to comp crash), but it would have never have been as thoughtful or thorough as this one! Thanks for creating and sharing!

Finally a HUGE bunch of sanity for the insanely overcrowded wall-cover folders. Thank you so very much, Catherine!

Every time I redecorate I wish for something like this...I had no idea they existed! My game has improved greatly today!

Question, which I'm sure I'll find out on my own if I use these, but are there ones with just the crown moulding for use with real doors? Wainscotting or baseboards aren't needed on wall panels with doors, and I don't want Sims to pretend they aren't there and walk through them, I wan't them to not be there... Either way, this is most amazing! Thanks for your time end effort. I love a lot of walls but hate the trim that came with it so I end up using the same small amount of them over and over.

This is so fantastic! I love to decorate with walls that match, but some with wainscotting and some without, just same base pattern or color. But EAxis only gave us some you could do that with, now you've opened up basically everything! <3 this set!!!

I downloaded this set in hopes that it would allow me to properly mold the walls of a two-story room I have been working on, but unfortunately, the wall overlays disappear into the wall the moment I place them, and upon zooming in or out, I can see them clipping with the wall itself. Is there a fix for this?

Ddy.C. - Sorry to be so long in answering you... I haven't been Simming too much lately ;-(

However, as I said in the original write-up: "When overlapping layers you will need the "MoveObjects On" and "snapObjectsToGrid false" cheats. NOTE: the only way I could make diagonals work without stretching the texture, is by layering. This can be a bit finicky at times - especially with different camera angles - but keep fiddling with it and you'll soon get it right."

Are you using the above mentioned cheats and layering them properly? They can be finicky, but they work for me. I hope you got them to work for you.

When I saw there was a version that placed these in the build/architecture section of the catalogue I nearly cried! God bless you you beautiful human being, who walks among us mere mortals and sees our overcrowded deco sections and decides to put their objects in a section less crowded, that makes more sense. Thank you so much!
