INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Unzip and put any files ending in ".package" into this folder: 
C:\..\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads
Or if you are a frequent downloader, it might help you organize your downloads better if you created a new folder and named it "Simslice", like this:
C:\..\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads\Simslice

(Note:  The "Downloads" folder is not created when the game is installed, but only when the auto-installer from the game is first used.  So if you don't have this "Downloads" folder or if you are new to downloading, simply create the folder in that location (spelled exactly the same - use the capital "D"))

Build Mode Price:  335
Build Mode Category:  Doors & Windows -> Doors
Statistics:  Take your privacy to brand new levels!

Object Description:

Keep any room private!  This secret door has more locking options than any other door, and it doesn't require any expansion packs to use.  Ten (10) different locking options availble, including filters for age, gender and even species.  You can unlock it at anytime to allow public access too.  Eight (8) different color options available.  The brown version is made to resemble the Dahlen Library Bookcase to help camouflage your secret door even more.

If you want another version, try our TS2 "Secret Door:  Animated Painting" (separate download), in our TS2 Objects section here:

GAMEPLAY INFO:  

Unlike the "Lock" features that require expansion packs, this door has the same features, plus extra ones, and requires no expansions to use.

Sims & Pets that are denied access through the door might still approach it, but they will never enter it.  Maids and other maintenance NPCs should be able to enter to clean as needed.  But if not, then you might want to give free access during those times.

You can allow/disallow access through the door for:  All Sims, No Sims, All Pets, No Pets, Household members only, Specific Sims only (by name), Males only, Females only, Adults only, or Kids only.  "Adults" = Young Adults (TS2U), Adults and Elders.  "Kids" = Teens, Children and Toddlers.  "Pets" = any animal that comes with the Pets expansion pack.  Our "Cycle of Life" animals are unaffected.

If you have the Pets expansion pack:  No matter how you set the lock for your "human" Sims, you can set an additional lock to prevent or allow access for your pets too.  Sim and Pet locks operate independently.

When you click "Info" in the game, it will tell you the current settings.  If you don't have the Pets expansion pack, it might still tell you that pets are allowed/disallowed even though it is not applicable to you.  If the active Sim that clicks on "Info" is part of the allowed-access group, they will express happiness and gain a few Fun points.  If the active Sim isn't, they will boo.

Because this door has all new original code, it does NOT require any expansions and thus can be used in any version of The Sims 2 game.

Simslice is the only site to provide "Idea Credit".  QTinChatt21 was given Idea Credit and had his name posted on the webpage next to this download.  He had sent us an email via our Request Page asking for a door that can provide secret rooms, but masked as a bookcase or a painting.  You can submit other requests to us on that same page, here:

NEED MORE HELP?:

If you have any questions about downloading, unzipping and installing, please visit our FAQ page which has very detailed instructions at http://www.simslice.com/faq.htm 

Any problems with crashes, freezes or objects not showing up are 99.9% of the time related to either "requirements" not being met, OR a fluke in the downloading/installing process... but it's NOT because of the actual object coding itself.  Check our FAQ page for a very detailed list of these issues and resolutions you can do to resolve them.  Typically the fix is to double check the requirements, and if you meet them, then delete and redownload the item.  Do NOT use Simzip to unzip them.  Further information as previously stated, is detailed on our FAQ page at http://www.simslice.com/faq.htm.  If you still need help after consulting our FAQ page, please contact us and we'll try to help further.
