About This File

I've seen a few requests for this kind of thing in the forums so I decided it would be a good exercise for my first ever set of lots.

The walls will conform to all but the steepest slopes without looking too silly.  They're designed to be used to divide up farmland like the dry stone walls found in the north of England.


The set is made up of 14 pieces:

5 tiles with a trail with walls either side - street connection (transit enabled visually), a straight, corner, cross and a t-junction.

The other 7 tiles have a single wall and can be used to divide farms without the need for a path.  I'm not 100% happy with the base texture for these tiles, but it's difficult to find something that doesn't look too out of place against all of the farm fields.  If anyone can suggest a better texture I'd be happy to do an update. The diagonal lot is a bit rubbishy as well and I only really made it as an afterthought.


Each tile costs 40 to place, 10 to demolish.  They can all be found in the parks menu although they don't have any actual park effect.  They don't consume water or power but will reduce pollution slightly.

There is one dependency for the dirt path lots. It is PEG_MTP_SUPER_TEXTURES_PACK.dat and can be found in:

PEG MTP SUPER PACK

Thanks to all the great Simtropolis folks who've inspired me - no names need mentioning - the worthy know who they are.

-Cori edit: Added linky to the dependency for the dirt paths. (Thanks to @rivit for locating them.)

-Cori edit again:

I've made an Override for the Building Exemplars. The only difference is I've added the Item Order Property to each so they are no longer scattered throughout the Parks Menu.

Place my file in the same DryStoneWalls folder as the 14 .SC4Lots. By name and by .dat extension, it'll load after them.

I've played with these a little and if you build very simply it looks really nice. The texture looks good to me, I used a grass tile the same color and you can make wider 'fields' to link the farms. The diagonals were, as advertised, a little more difficult....

Nice set, but the texture on the cross-roads lot appears to be missing. I'm a little unsure about the choice of base texture, maybe something a little neater to fit with the farms more? This aside, a fine piece of work.

Love the design and utility, but don't like the 5 simolean support cost. Isn't this a little excessive given comparable lots and that the tiles don't have a park effect?

These reminds me so much of Greendale where Postman Pat lives :)

Now if only there was a UDI enabled Postman Pat Royal British Post van Automata available :)
