When I installed these, they only show up as black with silver metal. Even if I delete a few, they are all the same recolors. Is there a script file missing?

Do you have CEP installed? You need it to see recolours in your game.
You can get it here:

I have the same problem, and I do have CEP installed. >_<
Me? Sarcastic? Never.

No script files are needed for the original recolorable modular stairs - only the open underneath ones require a script. CEP is not an issue in this case, as modular stairs are not part of the CEP.

Cynarra are the recolors themselves (once applied) black? Or is it the thumbnails? They all show up fine in my game, I've tried on my Mac(BV) and on my PC(AL).

I am looking into the problems that Cynarra and Buusku have reported. This is my first of 4 recolours so I don't know that much on the subject yet. If anyone else is having similar problems (or knows a possible solution) could you please post here with as much info as possible. If you are having this problem what EPs and SPs do you have and maybe what video card you have. If the problem can be solved I will do whatever needed to fix the files and re-upload them here. Even if these are the only 2 Simmers that have a problem I will do the recolours over with the fix so everyone can enjoy them.

I have the newest version of the CEP installed. All the thumnails and recolors show as black with silver railing. I even installed only the white set of recolors and the same thing.

I have all expansions and stuff packs through M&G. I have the open underneath stairs with script installed. Should I try removing those and trying without?

Video card is nVidia FX5200, and I have corrected the video card settings for each expansion so the game will show textures properly.

The only thing I can think of would be to remove the open underneath stairs and try again.

I know it's a while since anyone has commented, but I wanted to say that I am having exactly the same problem - all these recolours just show up as black and silver.

I have all EPs/SPs, and both the original and open-underneath Art Nouveau stairs by HugeLunatic, plus the most up-to-date version of CEP.

Perhaps it is some sort of clash with the Mansion and Gardens SP?

However, the four recolours you posted separately do work OK.

I really wish I could help with this problem! These stairs are the very first thing I recolored. They work fine in my game, which makes it all the more difficult to fix. I also have all the SPs and EPs so I don't think it's a compatibility problem with anything like that. I'm truely sorry that everyone cannot enjoy them.

Default Conflict With A Diffrent Mod...Must Remove For Stairs to Work....
I could NOT get this to work...after FOREVER trying to figure out what other mod was clashing with it. I finally removed the right mod...it was the...Maxis Modular Stairs Passage; It makes it so you can walk underneath the stairs and also place and use items underneath the stairs, Once I deleted it the Art Nouveau Stairs worked for me Hopefully this helps some of you that are having issues like I was. Thanks for these stairs they are GREAT and help A LOT!

Here is a link to that mod:

Thanks for the heads-up DorkiDorri, I'm sure that info will be helpful to many.

It's pretty much known that for some unknown reason these don't work for everyone.

Same problem with only having black stair/fence recolours show up with these recolours. I don't have the Maxis modular stair passage mod installed yet either. So something else is causing the clash with me. Again, have all EPs and SPs up to M & G. It's a shame no-one managed to work it out as they did used to work when I just had up to Seasons... The VIP recolours work fine.
