i thought the same because like the railing, it's solid color.

but when i changed it, nothing happened. I'll look at it again. my recolors ARE screwed, since alpha channels are gone when saving.

EDIT: i looked and it somehow reverted back. but the transparency problem remains.

Well it's about damn time. LOL!

Seriously, he's been chasing after recoloring this set of stairs for the longest time. Big round of applause to Numenor. Excellent work.

Thank you guys, that's why I do it! :D
RGiles, you're right, you know how long I tried, and tried, to no avail. The other object that drove me mad was the wedding cake, but this is a definitely abandoned project: it's too a long job to do, only to have a green wedding cake that nobody would eat...

Thank you soooooooooo much ! I've been hoping for that since the beggining. They are the only stairs my Sims never get stucked with (when another Sims is just in front of him).

Very grateful for that and for the rest Numenor ! :bow:

I am so happy to be able to have different colours for these stairs. Just tried them out in my house with eleven staircases, and the result was worth every click on every step .... thanks.

Thank you so much!

These are the only stairs I ever use indoors (because they're never in the way)

They look wonderful! Though coming from you, there was never doubt that they would...

Thanks again

GREAT JOB!

I'll make them the default color ^^

I love these stairs! This is fantastic! And mean every single exclamation point. Downloading :D


Just letting you know that these work great in my game, and I am thrilled with them. Thanks again. And, as reported, they live confortably beside Brasstex' stairs.

Angel, your recolour is wonderful, it looks so warm and confortable...!
(After a little searching) What?! Haven't you already shared it in the recolour forum? Do it now! I need to download your stairs! :D

You can post it in the New Objects Recolours forum, providing a link to this thread (your have to inform the users that the recolour needs my package to work); or you can post you recolour in this thread, if you like.

I've added to Post #1 a TEMPLATE that can be useful to understand the UV mapping of the texture.
As you might notice, the part of the texture that correspond to the railing *is* the rectangle in the upper left corner... I don't know why FatD had problem in recolouring it.
Notice also that the green part corresponds to the metal bar just under the step. I couldn't find in the final staircase the orange or the purple parts of the texture... If you find it, tell me

Numenor you are great! :-) Perhaps you can see the orange part if you recolor the glas???

No, Angel, the glass is the white part (in the snapshot, the glass was recoloured, too).
Maybe it's the vertical (hidden) surface between the glass and the metal...

EDIT:
No, I was wrong: both the orange and the purple part are under the step (the picture shows a step upside down).
