Thank you for making such a nice set (which is such an understatement!) that covers everything! I love how you have made the same matching colors for the floors and stairs, and now the fences....it's really just wonderful!! I love how you have given us SO many more options, which I can truly never get enough! You have really made all of these items so much more usable, thanks to your wonderful new color palette! Thank you so much!!! I can't wait to see your upcoming projects!!

I haven't downloaded anything yet, but these decks are starting to look so nice, it's time to choose some colors and keep an eye on your posts for more. Thank you!

I'm glad that people are finding these useful! I do like having matching decks, myself. I think I've conquered the column color problem now, so those will be going up once I get everything put together. Then on to windows/doors. I've got one request already, but if anyone who reads this wants to see any particular Maxis window(s)/door(s) recolored sooner rather than later, do let me know, and I'll arrange my "to do" list accordingly.

-insert various fan-gloatings here-

I don't think I will ever stop loving you.

Oh, and i love the "Old Yankee 4-score" door for my interior rooms, but there are NO good wooden recolors of it, is that on your list of doors to do?

Amazing job bringing the decks to life, and really giving them a uniform appearance. I bet it was a lot of work but the results are fantastic!

Quick question: In your picture showing the full decks with the stairs and fencing etc your foundation there seems to be in different colours. Tried to search for a foundation RC but no go. Can you point me in the right direction?

They aren't foundation recolors; they're wall recolors. All Maxis and custom wall textures work on foundations, although, only the top part of the wall is visible.

your sets are amazing! FYI for anyone else in my situation - only the classical essentian stairs and the gelander require OFB - I downloaded the Wooden and the chic and they work BEAUTIFULLY with the base game - I'm very impressed and look forward to downloading your other items

iCad, I first want to say that all of your recolors are AMAZING!! Anyone who doesn't download these is just crazy, imho

I am, however, having a problem with the Storybrook fence. After downloading, it did add twenty new fences to the catalog (which is fine, totally worth the huge catalog!) but they're all purple. I wonder if anyone else is having this problem? I've got two active games on my computer currently (in different Windows user accounts) and it isn't working for either of them. As far as I'm aware it's only the Storybrook that's not working, but I'll double check if any of the others are doing it too. If you'd like me to attach a screencap, I'll be happy to.

Thanks, and thank you for your wonderful creations!!

I got your recolours for the floors and the storybook stairs (they WERE true Victorian gingerbread monstruosities XD ) and now I got the matching fences for those stairs :D you have made me a very happy person. BTW, could you possibly make a recolour of the Storybook windows (and I think there is also a door, but now I am unsure) with your amazing wood tones? Thanks in advance :D

I'm also having this issue. (Four years later. Yikes.) Did you ever find a solution?

I am having the same issue with storybook and euro fences. When I place a fence straight it will keep its original colour. If it is placed diagonal, the fence itself has the wood colour but the posts remain purple/white. A solution would be highly appreciated, because I would love to have matching fences. Sorry, I don't have a screenshot. I have UC installed.

For those having issues with colors: Hmmm...I don't know. Pretty sure they work fine in my game. I know that they did when I made them because I had to make pics for the upload, but I made them when I didn't have all EPs and maybe something changed with later EPs and broke them. I haven't used some of these in a while, myself, aside from the plain fence, but If I can replicate the issue, I'll look into it and see if I can fix them. Sorry it took me so long to see the comments. I don't often look at them on old downloads.

I'm mostly found on (and mostly upload to) Tumblr these days because, alas, there are only 24 hours in a day.
