Maxis Arched Window Expansion Set 1 Edited. Original by tbudgett.
This beautiful window set was made to match the small Maxis Hotel Window that came with the Bon Voyage Expansion. The original creator is tbudgett, who seems to no longer be active.
There is an oversight with this set in that the price of the largest window, the 4-tile 2-story window, has its price set to $0.
Someone at the Garden of Shadows website fixed this, at my request, and the relevant discussion thread is here.
The fixed set, with the edited window, is available here (28 files): Download
Here are 22 optional recolors for the above window set. PiggiSims_BVHotelArchWindow_recolors (22 files): Download
A request for modders
As nice as this set is, it's missing three desirable things.
First and most importantly, it would be great to have solid (wood) versions of the doors. (The arched glass part on top could stay.) Right now, there actually aren't any doors anywhere in the Sims2 community that are solid wood and arched, except for some medieval stuff.
Secondly, I think all the glass doors should have been latticed, like the windows, instead of being one large piece of glass. This would make them more realistic overall, and specifically more realistic as exterior doors. As it is right now, the doors are really only realistic for interiors.
Thirdly and ideally, it would be nice to have versions of the 1-tile doors and arches that are centered on 2 tiles.
Since the original creator no longer seems to be active, it would be great if someone could make any or all of these to add to this set, but contact me first because there are a couple of intricacies I'd like to make you aware of.
