Finally. No really - never again. After several months of prevarication - the Von Trapp windows and Arts & Crafts doors and some random extra bits. This window and door set is slaved to the Apartment Life Classical Curves Windows. It consists of 8 windows, 3 doors, 4 arches, a pair of curtains (????) and some architecture bits.






Despite my whimpering sounds in the file descriptions I am quite proud of them and am glad to get them off my harddrive and secure on MTS. As they are repository linked to the Apartment Life windows any recolours you have in your downloads folder for those windows will recolour these too.

Some fish like bla bla
The original Apartment Life windows had two recolourable subsets - the stone outer surround and the wooden interior bit. These do too. There never was a matching door for these windows (not really) and so I made a door. However, it is nice to have doors where the door has independent colours on both sides (so these do) and so I was bit stumped on the stone bits.

SOLUTION : Snap-on stone bits. Drop a stone surround over a door frame. Diagonals are provided. And, since I was there - a DOUBLE stone arch as well.

The ONE TILE STRAIGHT DOOR is the master for all the doors and arches - that is the one with the INNER wood colour of the door.

Downloading - what files?
If it all looks nice - grab the last file on the list - that's everything in one rar. Nice and easy. If you just want bits grab the bits you want. The MASTER DOOR file is really there if someone shares a lot or something with a door or arch in but no master door. That is to stop stuff flashing blue, and maybe that lot downloader won't want all the other stuff.
