I feel so dumb right now, for years I'd been noodling how to make the walls themselves shiny, and never thought of an overlay! And yes, a howto would be wonderful. Does the overlay method work with floors do you think?

OMG YESSS!! I must have these!!!
Shiny walls FTW, you ROCK!!!
But do you think you could make another more reflective one to go with these reflective floor tiles?? Kind of like a mirror, but transparent so that you can still see the wall underneath?? This would look amazing in super-modern houses, ie over a plain black wall, combined with dark wood O_O

Anyway, thanks a billion!!! Gonna use them.. NOW ^^

Yo-Yo, for walls coordinate with the reflective floor tile go to : http://freya.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=241986

These here, had a shine to wall not a mirror reflection.

Thank you. An elegant solution. The posters are often the first thing in my downloads folder when I start a new lot because they are so versatile.

OMG, I think I love you, Pixelhate!

This is one of the coolest things I have seen yet! I really like shiny things alot! I have a knack at fiddling around with the Env-cube myself, but it seems I could only do it with clothes or objects. Thaks for the cool DL.

Under what categories do you find these in buy mode?

Fantastic, thanks so much! These are great for folks who want a little "shine" but are tired of the reflecting walls so many people use. I've never seen reflecting wallpaper or paint in my life, but I have seen wallpaper and paint with a metalic sheen to it, so this is much more realistic. Thanks for sharing your talent with us!
