Hey guys, I've been working on this off and on for a couple weeks in between uni commitments. I want to end up with a couple doors/arches and a few windows then I might try and move onto buy sets.

This is what I've got so far:
A 3-span window:
Update: Decided to take it back to meshing and thin the 'support beams' in the centre, it looks much better now I think:

I also used the new shape to mesh a floor to ceiling variant:

I still need to work out the eff to best UV map the stupid thing, so far previous versions I've gotten into the game haven't totally satisfied me. *sigh*

Update:

Decided that the "latticing" pattern, which I stole from the Dutch looking colonial window looked dicky in this context, and made it a lot more smaller, I also did away with it all being chopped up nicely, thus cutting way back on verts/faces.
V: 610/F: 425

Needs: A multiplier. Polys/verts: 919/918. I could've been more efficient if I wasn't such a n00b at UVing and built with that specifically in mind.

2-span arched window:

Needs: I redo at the mesh level, I went and made the "latticing" 3d, which was stupid, you can't even tell ingame.


Feedback is hugely appreciative, as well as any ideas/requests for more future objects to include. :]

Looks great-the sims 3's always needed more tudor buildings!

I love it! And while the arched window is typically castle-like, I can totally see the 3-span one in a more modern house too.

Thanks guys. :3 I made some progress today, I *think* I may finally have my head around UV mapping. So, yay.
