Peacemaker's Wainscotting

I miss CAS. Not as much as I thought, but when it comes to some aspects of the game, I really, really do. When it comes to walls, it is especially evident with wainscoting. I want to be able to pick the wainscoting and wall separately, but alas, that would mean millions of wall and wainscot combinations. I don't have the time or patience for that. So this is what I came up with: 3D wainscoting. It places like wall decor, is seamless (thanks to simsza for the shading tutorial link <3) and comes in a multitude of colours. It is not as versatile as walls because if its limitations around some windows and doors, but I found in usable enough to release it so others can enjoy it as well. 
The Build/Buy items feature:
  • basegame compatibility
  • non-default
  • 6 meshes in total with 52 colour options each (36 painted, and 16 wood):
  • find items easily using phrase "PC Wainscoting" in search bar
  • custom thumbnails
  • Style tool compatible
  • Pricing  and polycount as follows:
    - 1 tile panel; $100, 394 polys
    - 2 tile panel; $200, 708 polys
    - 3 tile panel; $300, 1022 polys
    - left and right corner panel; $104, 394 polys
    - right corner panel; $102, 394 polys
    - left corner panel; $102, 394 polys

Now, there is one download link with the 6 objects combined in a merged file. There is no separated file this time because each peice is required for a full set. Extract the archive using winRAR or WinZip, place the package file(s) in your mods folder, then look for them in your game. I hope you enjoy.

  2. WOOOW!!! This is great! I also miss CAS, but then I remember how fast my game loads and how smooth it goes compared to the sims 3 and I stop missing it, jajajaja! And thanks to creators like you my game has a wide variety of styles. I tend to fill my houses with your furniture and decoration. So thanks a lot for all your work!! I was thinking that it'd be great to have wainscotting with slats instead of squares, you know, like your wood slat wallpapers to have even more to choose from, hehe. Thanks again! You're awesome!

    Like ^^ they said, all my sims houses are filled with your furniture and in my opinion you're the best CC creator out there.

  6. Hello Peacemaker! I just wanted to report to you that the wainscotting is showing shadows on the wall when placed. Wasn't sure if you were aware of this or not :) Great work!

    1. that is probably caused by the occluders by other objects which i can't fix unfortunately.

  7. Hello Peacemaker! So just a question I have been using these wainscoting pieces in my builds and I have a few walls that I am not using them on by design and was wondering if you ever thought about making something similar for crown molding and baseboard?

    1. This was more of an experiment to see how modular wall decor would work and if I would use it regularly, and TBH i don't use it much so it's not a concept i would expand upon for my gameplay.

  8. Should I use this since you updated some of the stuff in this collection seperately and this hasn't been updated? Also do you perhaps have a list of everything that still works?

    1. the credits are just cc used in the pictures. Yes, some of those have been updated and can be found on my blog if you search. The wainscoting itself has never needed an update as it has never broken.

    2. Okay thanks for the quick reply!

  9. I tried downloading the PC wainscoting file, but it said it couldn't download securely. What should I do? Thank you.

    1. it is an .rar archive file, so make sure you extract it first. 7Zip or WinRAR will do it

      Delete
    2. i forgot to mention this is on macbook, will the both still work?

      Delete
    3. Ah, that is probably the reason. Macbook auto-extracts ZIP files, but not RAR. You would need unarchiver for Mac to extract the RAR
