I have wanted a modular set of the outdoor shutters ever since the game was released! Thank you!

I always use curtains and blinds in my Sims' homes, and now you made it a simple task for me to make my own curtains/blinds! :D

Deceptively simple solution, there always seem to be windows that nothing works with, but these will cover several more of them (pun intended of course).

I've always been annoyed about the fact that EA's blinds are either too big or too small.
Now I don't have to worry about that anymore. Thank you very much!

A little sidenote though. Dashboard complaints that LeftThinVictorianCurtain conflicts with RightThinVictorianCurtain. Just so you know.



Edit:
I also noticed they don't fade out the way EA's curtains does when you pull the walls down.

It does? Okay, thanks for letting me know. Fixing that now.

ETA: Dashboard picks it up as a conflicting object with RightThinVictorianCurtain, though in game, the two objects work perfectly fine and are displayed like normal. This is a false-positive in Dashboard and it's nothing to worry about. The curtains do not conflict with each other (if they did, the Left Thin Curtain would not be displayed in game)

As for vanishing curtains once the wall is down, that is an EA problem. Like I said, EA made it to where objects that are off grid cannot be shiftable. This goes for wall objects as well. Since WAAnywhere is checked (off grid), It forgets the fact that it is a wall object and no longer abides by the wall object's rules (shifting, vanishing). You can look at the object in S3PE and see that the "HideObjectWhenWallsDown" flag is infact checked.. This honestly shouldn't be to big of a problem, but there is nothing I can do to fix that EA mistake. This also isn't a bad thing; what if you wanted to make something (like a shower curtain) or something creative.. you wouldn't want it to vanish, now would you?

This is pure awesomeness. I've wanted this for just about forever, especially with the shutters! I'll have so much fun with this <3 Thanks!

Very neat! EA did a left-right pair with the bed and bath stuff pack, but these are better.

I wonder if it would be possible to have a separate version that gives up off-grid-ness for shiftability... I know they can't go on the same object, and sometimes horizontal movement is what you want, but sometimes vertical movement is more important, just depends on the window. Just a thought for those of us who are REALLY curtain-obsessed

Thank you everyone! I'm so glad you like them!

Srikandi, Thank you for your nice comment! I was thinking about doing that, but it would require duplicate curtains since just one pair would not work with both rods. It seemed to make it a little more frustrating and cluttered as well. But, right now, the OMSP makes it work just as well /me raises fist at EA for not letting these flags be compatible with each other.

I. LOVE. YOU!
Don't tell Dal though....

I agree with Srikandi though about shifting though. That is pretty important at times.
