The Half-Fake Window
1-half-fake window.jpg - width=1020 height=873
2-interior.jpg - width=1481 height=770
3-exterior.jpg - width=1570 height=792
4-diagonal.jpg - width=1265 height=777
5-glass tints.jpg - width=1509 height=827
6-frames.jpg - width=1588 height=806
It's quite simple, really: On one side of the wall there is a window, and on the other side - nothing but wall. There's a diagonal version as well, so you'll need to install both files. I could go on and on about it, but the facts won't change - it's just a one-way window, that is undetectable on the other side. There's not even a fake mirror to give it away. Speaking of giving it away, please download if you think it sounds fun or if you can find a practical use for such an item.
Some technical info:
All window colors made in SimPE. All frame textures are generated by Wood Workshop by Spiral Graphics[url=http://spiralgraphics.biz/products.htm]) and edited in GIMP.
GUID-d586CE35, face count-66, in-game price-105, Catalog placement- Build>Doors & Windows>Windows
Tools used: SimPE, Blender 2.77, GIMP, Wood Workshop
Terms of Use: Feel free to recolor, and include in your lots. I only ask a link to this page instead of reposting the mesh elsewhere, and credit for the mesh creation/concept.
Polygon Counts:
glass- 2
shadow - 16
frame - 48
Additional Credits:
I'm extremely grateful for the MTS Community(thanks, Delphy) . Thanks to Quaxi et al for SimPE. Numenor for... well, for pretty much everything. Frillen for transparency knowledge , IgnorantBliss for window creation tutorial, BornCG for informative Blender tips and tutorialshttps://www.youtube.com/user/cgboorman
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.

About Me
I don't mind if you include any of these meshes with your lots**, as long as you provide a link to the original MTS page for the mesh. Posting my mesh on any site by itself, or claiming it as your own work, would be considered rude and a breach of my trust and love for you as a fellow simmer.
**Above policy does not apply to Remote Control Thing - it contains an NPC that could possibly corrupt a neighborhood when removed, and I doubt that downloaders would appreciate something like that hidden in a downloaded lot.
