I agree with the others, this is very great content. Its creative and yet EA couldn't make doors to match their own windows lol I love them both and I have used them a lot in my houses. Thanks for this universal download.

I love these expansions so much! Thank you Marylou!

I'm having a problem with the doors though. I can't seem to lock them with the OFB feature. Is anyone else having this problem?

Thanks again,

Matt

I love all of your Independent Expressions items. They're not only beautiful, but highly functional and usable.

I have everything in this collection. I started with each set in its own subfolder, then combined them in a single subfolder. But I still get some of them listed as duplicates using Delphy's organizer. Any ideas? Do the files in each subsequent collection contain the files from the previous collection? Also, what are the "collection" files names? The duplicate files are appearing in the "collections" subfolder. I've spent the last 4 days cleaning up my CC and downloading the things I wanted.

Nothing to see here, just the best windows and doors you'll ever find for The Sims 2! You did a lot of work on these, and they look great in the game. I've got a house that was red, white, and blue with red doors over white stucco, then it went to white brick on the first floor and the rest red stucco with white doors and windows, and it looks awesome!

Awsome! Your windows are the ones I use most in my houses and it's great to have the matching doors, now. And the doors look great! Well done and thanks for sharing them.

The Independent expressions windows are my absolute favorite of the entire game, so the more matching things the better. Thank you for these, they are just perfect!

I can't seem to build anything anymore without using this set. Without a doubt, the most beautiful build set I've ever used. Many thanks, MaryLou!

Thank you for creating these! I always thought that the Maxis doors and windows were lacking and this is what the game definitely needs. Thank you!

Yay! I have finally found some doors and an arch to match! Great attention to detail. Thank you for creating these.

This whole set is absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for making it! <3
Now I actually have a set of doors and windows that match. XD
I seriously love this set, however I've found what appears to be a glitch in the double doors. (I'm not sure if it does this with all of the doors, but the one that is messing up for me is the double door with the glass and chequered frame.) When my sims walk through one of the doors, it stays open. o-O I thought that it might just be a one time thing so I tried selling the door and buying it again. I ended up having to use the move_objects on code to sell the door because it said that it was still in use and then when I bought it back, it did it again.
Anyway, it doesn't bother me very much as I'm not an extremely picky player, but I just thought that you should know about it. ^-^ (And if anyone has any advice to fix this, I wouldn't mind that either. XDD)

Again, thanks for the awesome door set! <3

I have to thank you again for these sets that I absolutely love. It is still the set I primary use in my house building.

I have noticed a bit of a bug, though.

The 2-tile arch isn't compatible with apartments. Whenever I use it in custom apartments, I get an error stating that my apartments are invalid. If I cheat and force my Sims into an invalid apartment with this arch, then I cannot use anything beyond the arch properly. For example, I usually use it for kitchens, but then in an apartment, I am unable to place anything in the kitchen and I cannot use the stove and fridge for anything but the "Make..." or "Make Many..." functions. I will attempt to figure out the issue in Simpe, but I thought I should inform you. I do not know if anyone else has these problems.

I've been using these wonderful things in my sims' home for, quiet literally, years now - thank you so much! - and I just noticed the same thing as avitous (I hardly ever make apartments), so thought I'd swing by and report the problem. Using the double-arch means anything beyond it as being unusable in an apartment; I had one leading to a kitchen, which led out into a sealed-in garden and both kitchen and garden were 'located out of bounds' when the sim family moved in. As it reports you've not logged in for ages, I doubt you even support these any more and fair enough! Just thought it was worth adding a heads-up, if you do come back, or if anyone else is having a problem. Thanks for all your hard work - I'll still keep using these in almost every single home I build, just not the apartments

Thank you for your unique Custom Content, but I'd like to make a formal inquiry & request!
I've noticed no one is making door glass in Clear, I'm sick and tired of that Maxis blue-tinted Door and Window glass, so could you make Clear glass versions of ALL the Double Doors and Windows from Base Game to Apartment Life, pretty please?

I'm limited to the kinds of doors, single or double, and windows that I can use because of that god-awful Maxis default-blue tinted glass, when Clear is more realistic and pleasing to the eye!
