A Better Washroom Door

SCREENSHOTS
Ever find yourself building a nice fancy social spot for your sims, and instead of having...ya know...a normal looking washroom door, you have to slap down that stupid looking door with the big awkward picture on it? The EA washroom doors are nice for more industrial, cheaper settings but look weird when used in more classier environments.
After a little fiddling around in TSRW, I was able to come up with the A Better Washroom Door set. I looked for the most basic, universal door and put little "Ladies" and "Mens" signs on it to signify its a washroom door. The signs are in Simlish, of course, but you can tell which is which by looking at the plaques.
The doors have the proper gender bias. Meaning, males will not go through the female doors and vice versa.
The doors have 4 recolorable channels: Door frame, main door, door-knob and metal plaque. I sacrificed the ability to color both sides of the door differently for more customization of the look of the door. The little metal plaque on the top of the door is on both sides, so you can freely choose which side to have the door handles.
Both doors are found under Build -> Doors in Community Mode, just like the originals, for 125 simoleons. I do not have the hack to use them on residential lots because...well..why would you need that? Feel free to convert to residential use if you must.
You will need WA or any EP after that. The base game does not come with the gender bias doors.

Install Instructions
Quick Guide:
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
