About This File

This mod adds fences to all low density residential lots (all wealth types) to build more realistic suburbs. These include wooden fences, picket fences, chainlink fences, and much more! This mod is also customizable, so you can choose which wealth level has fences or not.

*Due to the size of this mod, The mod is uploaded in 2 parts, so they will be seperate files.* This is part 1

The mods are separate so this is the main mod that adds fences to all wealth.

New in Version 3.0:
 
-Fences added to High Wealth Back  yards (part 1)

-All Medium and High density buildings of all wealth can produce their own streetlights to light up the sidewalk. (part 2)

-New alleyways for the low density residential areas (they are best used for bikepaths) (part 2)

-1 realistic parking lot  (part 2)

Here's a link to part 2:



To install, unzip file, and copy desired folders into documents\SimCity 4\Plugins
Enjoy!!!
EDIT:  Here's something for those who don't want fences in all back yards:
Customization:
There are 4 folders:
$$$wealthfences: adds fences to all Highwealth lots (including and stone and hedges)
$$1- adds fences for 19 lots of the Middle wealth housing (19 lots)
$$2: adds fences for the rest of the Middle wealth housing (37 lots)
$1: adds fences for all lower wealth lots


-For those who only want fences in low wealth: copy only the $1 folder
-For those who only want fences in middle wealth: copy either $$1 or $$2 or both if you want fences in all $$ backyards
- For those who only want the fences in highwealth: copy only the $$$wealthfences folders

Part 2 is also customizable! Go to part 2 for instructions.

For Exsisting cities, bulldoze all the neighborhoods and then they will build back with the fences. It's recommended to start a new city for the changes to take effect.



No dependencies

Version 4.0 development is underway! Upcoming features for Version 4.0 so far:

-Commercial and industrial lots will be made realistic

-There will be new types of trees on the lots and textures (which will require dependencies)

-Growable parks?

-New lots (some will not have fences since not all backyards have fences)

-advanced version of alleyway/bike paths

Zelgadis, he is trying to make it realistic for suburb neighborhoods. i ain't heard of no neighborhood with houses six feet away from each other not having fences. where i live every suburb has fences, therefor it is real in my opinion. you might live in the country. but i am not criticizing or coping like Blue Lightning said i was. So i am not being mean. But this would be nice to replicate my neighborhood.

I like the idea of the small parking, for uses such as the one shown in the linked Youtube video (-> near soccer pitches or baseball fields.)

I have this in my plugins folder, but none, ABSOLUTELY NONE of the fences showed up in my city, even after demolishing and rezoning.

I live in south side queens NY and it doesn't show yards in the hood it would be nice for you to make some houses with concrete in the yard like in my neighbor instead of grass at every house (Just saying it might be real to you but where im from grass in your yard is a luxury) I would be so happy if someone not only represented places like long island but also the city

i like the fences and alleys but when I zoom out the textures are just plain. Not with driveways and patios and the other things that the houses had originally. I give you a 4/5

Very nice. Just one thing, you should make it so there are some houses without fences. Many people around us don't have a fence, including us.

Everyone on the West Coast has a fence.... especially in the suburbs. There are no open back yards. :P

For some reason, it affects my house lots. It makes textures in the houses not look right. I don't really know how to explain it. It just seems like it's empty. No walkway to the house, no backyard textures, just the house and the lot itself.

Yea, you have the same problem with me too, the lot is just empty, all I see is just the house and the fence. Need help with this. I thought I'm the only one.
