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.

Shandypest.

 

-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.

Mate, I've been searching for stone walls like these for months now. Thank you! I've walked around the Pennines for many years and you've got the texture of those walls spot on!

Nice set, but the texture on the cross-roads lot appears to be missing.

I apologize for the delay. (Thanks for waiting so patiently.) *;)

The description has been updated with a linky to the dependency for the missing textures.

Yeah, I ran into that too. None of them contain the Item Order property so they just appear in seemingly random places in the menu. :O

I've made an Override for the Building Exemplars. The only difference is I've added said Item Order to each. Give this a try and if you like the results, we can add it to the description above as an auxiliary file.

oh wow, that's really cool, thanks.  Was not sure if they were assigned ID #'s or something that is similar to others next to them.

It's in a weird spot location of menu where I also have these logistic warehouses, and that too is interlaced together

The override I made is in the weird spot or the original of the Stone Walls?

The original, it was almost near top of menu with items that were scrambled as well, like some Newman Farm paths and flower stuff.

Your fix, it's all on bottom of menu now.  Not full bottom, but w/ Brazil farm Fences and before The Thing park package

I figured out how to use I-Reader and set/change Item Order to fix OD Hennessey Warehouses,  now going though rest of things and give them order number.
