Tutorial: How To Make Your Very Own "Invisible" Window!

What You Need:

• The Sims 2 (whatever configuration you have)
  
• SimPE
  
• Basic knowledge on how to use Wizards of SimPE or Object Recoloring
  
• Color-Enabled Package by Numenor
  

What To Do:

1. Install SimPE, if you don't have it already.
   
2. Open Wizards of SimPE. This tool is especially helpful, because it can help you find which items are recolorable in the game and which are not.
   
3. Find the "Truly" Stained-Glass Window from the base game. It is located under the three-circle icon. You have to scroll all the way down to find it, or at least, that's what I have done in my game.
   
4. Make the recolor and plop it in your Downloads folder. It's still unfinished. Please try to choose the windowpane texture, not the frame texture!
   
5. Open the unfinished package file and find the Material Definition (TXMT) file in the Resource Tree.
   
6. If you see "Generic Rcol Editor", then you are on the right page. In the window, you must look for stdMatAlphaMultiplier and change the number to 0.000000. 2.000000 is pure black. You want it invisible, remember?
   
7. Commit and save.
   
8. You may want to delete the texture file attached to the windowpane. Since your window recolor is going to have an invisible pane, it's pretty much useless keeping it. Commit and save.
   

Your finished result:

wow seems cool! probably great for a haunted sim house, don't you think?

Actually, I wanted to use them as arrow slits for castles in my Medieval-themed neighborhood. But a haunted house sounds good. I may as well make a haunted house like Tricou Manor someday.
