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

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.

For those who used my previous version: There is no need to delete anything! All you have to do is copy ONLY the $$$wealthfences folder in part 1, and in part 2, copy everything in it.

I'm confused... How is lack of fences unrealistic? I've never lived in a neighborhood that had very many of them. Seems to me that some neighborhoods have fences and some don't. Regardless, the mod looks good and good for people who do like the fences.

My neighbourhood is all walls and fences and infact, most of my town is so I think this is more realsistic in my case. Good work! I think I might download the other mod too.

I like this look, It gives the city more of a suburban appeal. regardless though, a rural town would not look well with this mod. But for the effort put in to this and also on behalf of people who don't normally have very many rural towns 5/5.

I have dowloaded and installed your mods in the plugins folder, but I don't see where to find the alleys on the menu tabs so I can place them behind the houses.

I think that Genius wanted to make a more Europian look of the fences. (Maybe it's some where else looking different than in the Netherlands). But for me it's gane more realism. (By the way, sorry if my English is a kind laking). Nice job.

This is great!!I always thought the no fence thing was weird. Here in NY every house is completely fenced from neighbors.
