I have personally checked it with any EP up to seasons; I have not checked them with Bon Voyage, though the code for the windows never changed since the base game: I'm 99,9% sure that this hack works with BV, too.

Thank you very much, I will try this in my game with BV and report back.

Do you think that you will ever update the new windows from the new expansions and make them animated too??

Fact is, Maxis created some (not all) windows from the base game spluit in two parts, purposely to animate them; but then the project of the opening windows was abandoned, and all the following windows were created in one single piece. The "update" you ask would actually require to edit the windows' meshes, split them and adjust them to be animatable. I don't think that someone will take the burden of doing this...

Thank you very much for updating and reposting this mod. I've recently downloaded a university dorm from another site which used this feature.

Anyone know if this still works in freetime?

I didn't try myself, but I checked the code, and FreeTime didn't change anything related to windows; so, it dhould work.

Didn't encounter any problems, it all works great

Thank you Numenor for checking the Freetime coding (Besides all the other wonderful stuff you've done/created)...Wonderful!

owsome! (yes, I know how I spelled it). Thanks
EDIT: if anyone was wondering, I have all of the eps including AL and every SP except IKEA Home and it works fine

Now if only someone could animate 2 tile windows wink wink that is if they're are some split into 2 parts

Thank you Numenor for maintaining this hack. Appreciated by all of us

Luckily, this hack maintains itself quite well: there was no need to update it since Pets -

hmm... to try this with apartment life might not be a good idea... Ah, who cares!?

Nothing seems to have changed with AL, regarding this mod. The official game code basically ignores the open/clode feature since the base game, and therefore the newer expansions (including AL and M&G) don't interfere with this mod in any way.
I didn't test the mod with AL, but I'm fairly sure that it still works perfectly.

EDIT: READ MY NEXT POST

Numenor, I've been seeing a few instances of object errors involving bay windows on various forums lately, and it wasn't until I installed M&G myself that I realised what it is. If a stray dog comes onto the lot, I get an error caused by the stray looking for a bay window to sleep in. If debug mode is not on the dog merely sinks into the pavement and so may not be noticed immediately. I was advising people to remove custom windows but I now know it is caused by this hack. This error log is produced in a game with no CC at all except for Atavera's Window hack. Bailey is the dog.

WHAT'S NEW

29 Dec 2008 - UPDATED to M&G

The "PETS-AND-NEWER" version now works with Mansion & Gardens, and all the older expansions down to (and included) PETS.

On the other hand, the "UP-TO-GLS" version was not modified: it still works fine with any expansion up to Glamour Life.


Let me state again the game requirements, so to be as clear as possible.
In order to use the "PETS-AND-NEWER" version, you must have at least ONE among the following packs:
PETS, SSN, CEL, H&M, BV, TSS, Store Ed., FT, K&B, IKEA, AL, M&G.
If you don't have any of the above, then use the "Up-to-GLS" version.


Thank you Simsample for the continuous help, reporting to me the bugs reported on other forums Without this error log, I'd never imagined that M&G had actually modified the code for the WindowGlobals (Maxis, as they did other times, included in a Stuff Pack a fix for an older EP, and I completely missed it...).

Silly EA. Thankyou Numenor, that was really speedy!

WOW. Thanks for the great work fixing this hack Numenor! This is a great hack and it's a good thing you've updated it to M&G.
(i have ALL EPs and SPs)

Super. Thanks

But they still windows that are not addressed by the patch.
As these two windows

What are those windows from? A holyday pack, I'd say...
If they aren't addressed by the patch, how come they open up, in your animated screenshot?

yes, holyday pack
I'm the one who is done for these two windows, it was not very complicated.

For other players.


Sorry for my English

Oh! lol, now I understand OK, I'll add them to the hack. Thanks for telling me about these windows!

WHAT'S NEW

11 Jan 2009 - ADDED 2 'Holiday' windows



The "Frosted Window by AnythingImport" and the "Icy Chill Holiday Window" have been added to both the Up-to-GLS and the Pets-and-Newer versions of the hack, so to make them openable, too.

NOTE: the 2 mentioned windows come with the Holyday (Party) Pack 2005 and with the Sims 2 Holiday Edition. If you don't have either pack, you won't find the two windows in catalog (but the hack will work fine nevertheless, with the other windows).

Thanks to Vral for the heads up about these windows.

Thanks Vral and Numenor, I hadn't noticed that those were not included.
