SQUEE! I loved the windows, but always felt that they were incomplete. I have to thank you once more for completing what EAxis' hasn't. I'm already assuming these are linked to the maxis textures? If so, I thank you.

very nice, thank you very much! Does anybody know of a "monumental" green and creme recolour of this window? Would love to create a monumental Dutch house but need monumental coloured windows *lol*

These look great!
Retired from the Sims world. Please continue to enjoy my creations. Thank you to everyone who helped -- by either giving me the tools and knowledge to create or by encouraging me & downloading my creations. The Sims community is the BEST!

I have all expansion packs up to Apartment Life. After installing only this set into my game, when I selected the window/door icon in build mode my game crashed back to the desktop. I removed all these doors and windows, and my game is now ok.

I hope this problem can easily be resolved, because I'm looking forward to using them in my game.

Just wanted to say thank you also for this set. That was a window I really liked but never understood why it didn't have any matching windows. Also I have AL and have had NO problems using these windows. Just a FYI.

Whew!!! What A Relief, Alawren, your quick reply is very appreciated. I'll be posting another expansion to this set, a tall narrow side window, taller privacy window and 1 & 2 tile interior doors.

Because I have so many downloads it can take up to 45 minutes to fully load my game. So I decided to double check your doors and windows.

I re-downloaded the set. I ran the Hack Conflict Detection Utility programme, there were no conflicts found. But once again when I selected the door/window icon in build mode, my game crashed.

It seems your lovely windows and doors have taken an instant dislike to my game.

Oh well, I’ll just have to look at them lovingly from afar. Thank you for your time.

Nice! I have a question, though: Does an open window of your's affect the room temp for a Sim if we have Seasons?

Thank you for this beautiful set, it is nice to have another set than the independent expression set. After using that for a few years this set will be a nice change.
Thanks

It could be something completely different since you have so many downloads, if it truly is problematic, then you should try just the windows by themselves in your downloads folder. The windows could just conflict with other windows that you've downloaded.

Maxine - Do you have all your games patched?
SAGGG - No. I can give a longer explanation but it would still be no. Good question!!!!

Yes, all my games are patched. I'm also using Pescado's "AL fixes" patch as well.

Do you have any other custom windows? It is possible that something else you downloaded may have effected your game.

Yes, I've got hundreds of custom windows and doors. They are made by artists such as The Dream Team, J woods, Numenor, Simnuts, Phoenix Phaerie etc.

My game works ok once I've removed these new doors and windows. I could probably narrow it down to a particular window or door, but with my game taking 45 minutes to fully load, I haven't got the patience to put up with all the test crashes. So it's my loss. Thanks for your interest.

Don't worry about it. Over the years I've downloaded lots of custom content that works for other people, but doesn't work in my game.

I only posted a feedback post because I wasn't sure if it was just an expansion or stuff pack incompatibility. Once again, thanks for your time.
