I like that we have a few different sizes in doors and a few different varieties. I was very pleased when we got a sliding door.
I would like to suggest more styles of doors though. For the exterior it would be nice to have more door choices without glass, and maybe some more doors with locks.
Some security doors that slide would be great.
I would like some collapsible doors like the metal grate/grille ones in front of old elevators. (These would make nice gates as well).
Screen doors and storm doors that could sit like curtains over an existing exterior door would be nice.
For interior doors I would love to have something appropriate for closets and hallways that won't take up too much space.
Accordion doors are good for cramped areas.
They can come with translucent parts to spice up the look a bit more.
And instead of one single door, they can be double (and meet in the middle)
Then we come to sliding closet doors that sort of overlap each other in the center. These can be plain or have panels.
or have mirrors
And if those aren't your cup of tea, there are bifold doors which come in different varieties. They can be plain or have caved panels.
or be louvered (I particularly like how the frame on these ones have the bullseye rosette at the top)
have panels AND mirrors
just be mirrored the whole way
or have glass panes
The last one I can think of right now is the pocket door. It slides all the way in to a pocket in the adjacent wall until it is completely hidden (leaving an archway).
There are double pocket doors:
And single pocket doors
It would be nice if some of the interior doors came with crystal or glass knobs.

I was thinking it would be nice to have doors with pet doors on them. Cheap ones could let in any critter small enough to fit through (raccoons, small dogs, cats, etc) but could be locked like real pet doors to either not allow anything or to allow in but not out or out but not in. Higher end ones could only allow either cats or dogs or only pets that belong to the household. Or only pets given permission to enter (possibly with a special collar).
Generally a door large enough for a dog would let a cat through but a cat door might be too small for some breeds of dog.
I have a cat door on my real house and one of my cats is almost too big to use it but my chiweenie dog is able to use it with ease (because he's smaller than that cat).
Would you please post the link for your thread here for me? My ISP does not always cooperate when I go to look for things on the forum.
Thanks! Sorry I didn't reply sooner. Hurricane season has been hectic. I now need a new barn and a new truck thanks to falling trees.
And cellar/external basement doors as I mentioned here: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/379651.page
And very small doors like a dormer door to access a crawlspace or area with low ceiling (or under the stairs)
Doors in the floor (trap doors, hidden doors, attic doors)
Fully round or circular doors:
including a vault door
Speaking of round, how about this cool round spiderweb gate complete with spider?
or these bifold doors that slide to encompass a rounded area.
Mylee, That's a great idea! I should find pictures of them in awhile.
Edit- here are some pictures:
Do we currently have the hanging bead doorways? Or maybe a curtain that hangs in the doorway that people move out of the way when going through?
I can't remember if I mentioned the idea of a crude doorway with an animal skin (with or without fur) as a curtain that hangs all the way over to try to keep out the cold. Maybe it could be double curtains of leather. It would work for caves or medieval peasant homes. I still haven't found doors or windows that I feel would work well for the peasants in medieval times. In the absence of wood in some areas, the peasants would built their homes with mud and hay. Or they would make woodframe that would be covered with thatch and mud to bind it together. IIRC, sometimes manure was used as a binding agent. Things like metal hinges and nails might have been hard to come by-- and I metal rusted. So they likely would have used some sort of twine or rope or carved wood. I wish I knew more about the medieval structures and doorways. I don't even think the houses had windows. They would have firepits in the middle of their huts that served for heating and cooking-- and many of the people died from prolonged exposure to the smoke.
Omg can you imagine our idiot sims getting stuck in that thing like the elvators?
Perfect chance to wake up the Conspicuous thread again!
I somehow missed this reply. I actually met an online friend from another country once and he had never seen revolving doors and managed to get stuck in one. LOL.
They are cool, although I wonder if the animations and such would be complicated.
I've posted to the conspicuous thread a few times but it has been relatively quiet lately.
Thank you very much for your feedback, but this thread is originally from 2012 so I will be closing it.
