Matching Swatches for Stairs, Railing, and Fence

I made this set for my own use and thought y'all might find it useful too. It was a pain to do it (in TSRW) though, so I probably won't be making more.
This recolor set comes in four packages:
- MadameRiaMatchingSwatchesMegaFenceBasic: Recolor of the Mega Fence (Basic). Fence posts repeat every tile
- MadameRiaMatchingSwatchesMegaFenceBasicNoRepetition: Fence posts only show up at the end points of the fence line. (You can combine with the repeating version for variation of post placements!)
- MadameRiaMatchingSwatchesMegaRailing: Standard recolor of the original Mega Railing.
- MadameRiaMatchingSwatchesUnremarkableStairs: Standard recolor of the Unremarkable Stairs.
I used TSRW to make all of these recolors, so I ran into a lot of problems. Because of that, there are a few important notes about this set:
- No custom thumbnails! I couldn't figure out how to add them and after solving a lot of other TSRW problems, I was too tired to do anything in TSRW anymore.
- The Mega Fence (Basic) has a different price (§25) so it will show up earlier in the BB catalogue! I actually had to use a different fence as the clone and then had to re-import all the assets. It's a long story, but frankly, a fence described as basic shouldn't be that expensive anyway.
- The Unremarkable Stairs use the Martian Soil wallpaper as their default wall. This happened when I hid the CC version of the Simple Siding wallpaper it originally came with. We all delete the stair walls or cover them with a new wallpaper anyway.
I made this set because I wanted build objects to match with my Limber Lumber floor recolor. When I first made that floor recolor (one of my first pieces of CC), my recoloring technique was very inconsistent, but I tried to match this set to that first recolor anyway. I can't really say that they are from Peacemaker's Wood Tones 02 because if you took an eyedropper to the palettes there would definitely be discrepancies, but it is inspired by his palette!
Thanks to Syboulette for creating tutorials on how to make fences and stairs which helped me do a lot of problem-solving!
