You didn't think I'd make Never-ending Arches and completely forget about the bigger sibling: Never-ending Windows, did you?!
They're already made. Six window designs! The trouble is: each window design requires THREE meshes (a left, a right and the joining middle piece). In Sims 2, the left/right was a single reversible mesh, but Sims 3 glass reflection is more advanced and reversing a window changes the direction of reflection too (which then shows an ugly join), therefore we now need separate left and right panes so you can keep all the glass facing the same way.
You don't need to be a maths guru to realise that 6 windows of 3 meshes each = 18 meshes! However, these windows will not work on diagonals because a diagonal wall is wider, and so these would need to be separate set for diagonals too, balooning the set to a massive 36 meshes!!!
As a result, I've added a poll to my home page. Do you want the diagonals too, or is that too much for your catalogue? It's going to be a bit of a snappy poll because the set is ready for release, but I can't make up my mind about whether to throw in some diagonals. Let me know what you think.

I say add the diagonals too as a seperate set. Then people can decide if they want them or not. Also remember all six designs may not be downloaded, some people may choose 2 which would only give them a grand total of 12 meshes including diagonals. Im off to vote

I personally wouldn't use them, as I don't tend to build diagonal walls (my OCD doesn't allow it - LOL). However, some people would, so I voted for you to make them a separate set.

You could make life easier for yourself and only design Sims 2 stuff.
No! Oh well! :P I have to agree with Midnight222, sounds like a great compromise. Take care and stay safe. Michelle
