original stairs
Also includes a fence and gate. The fence is a new clone (only way to recolor fences) but the original mesh is by nihilin as well as the gate mesh. You must have the gate mesh if you want my black gate recolor!! The fence by nihilin is optional.
Note: This allows passage under the first tile next to the wall, including placing a door. The sims will walk right through the base of the stairs.
*All should be base game compatible
ZIP includes:
* Stair mesh which will override (not overwrite) the original
* Fence mesh/recolor in black
* Gate recolor in black
* Template recolor - will show clown colors if placed in downloads folder
* Layered PSD Template
Installation:
* Place in your downloads folder. There is no need for a script file since this is overriding the original steps.
* To remove and have the default non-recolorable stairs back just delete my file from your downloads folder.
To Use:
* Place stairs normally
* Use Recolor tool to recolor individual stairs - if having difficulty with 2nd step, go down one floor.
To Recolor:
* In Object Workshop, select Open, select my mesh, then select Recolor.

Polygon Counts:
Fence Rail/Diag Rail - 736
Fence Post - 408
Stairs - 94 (step only) -1496 (step w/two rails) These vary based on the step/rail combination used
Additional Credits:
Numenor for the original concept and execution of recolorable stairs.
nihilin for the Art Nouveau Fence and Gate.
This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.
