Looking privacy fencing or brick walls for subdivisions

Is there such a thing? Most of the housing developments around where I live have privacy fences or brick walls built around them. Is there such a thing for SC4?

 

Thanks!

You could try to find housing to download that has these features, otherwise find some props (plenty of walls/hedges and the like out there) and lot them yourself onto your existing buildings. As for a mod that adds them to all items in-game, which I suspect you are looking for, that simply wouldn't work, there is no simple way to add a prop to every lot in the game, they would all need to be edited manually.

Do you like custom textures, but don't like all the work involved creating them?, take a look at the Texture Automation options here. Change the look and feel of your transit networks, with the minimum of effort, for example customised versions of my Sidewalk NAM (SWN) and Terrain Grass NAM (TGN) mods, and much more besides.

    More along the lines of something I can add in lots adjacent to lots with houses on them. For example, in the image below, I used the sound walls I found somewhere (can't remember where, it's been too long). However, I think they stand out a little too much to be used over and over, whereas a brick wall or wooden privacy fence would, I think, look more generic.

    OK, with you now, I don't know of any off-hand, making simple wall lots wouldn't be too hard, there are as I said plenty of wall props out there to choose from.

     

    The only other thing I can think of is the set of Aubrac Walls available as either lots or an although they are perhaps a little too short for such situations? I made set of hedges, they could also be useful for filling such boundaries.

    There are some security fencing props on the Pegasus site as a part of some of the CDK sea ports and the coast guard airport.  You could pick these up and modify them to suit for inclusion in your lots.  I don't recall that they are separately ploppable.

    Also at the Pegasus site (and on the STEX) is the SPAM mod.  This is a farming mod that has a lot of options for fences.  You do not have to download the whole mod.  There is a prop pack that you can download that contains the fences, but won't change the farming in the game.

    You can also search for "hedge" and/or "fence" on the STEX or on SC4D - there are some pre-made lots. I seem to remember that someone even made a set specifically with gated communities in mind. Since the STEX search tends to be a bit wonky, typing "hedges" "STEX" (or similar search terms, each including the quotation marks) into your preferred search engine should produce some results.

    Could this be the sort of thing you need: 

     

     

    It's is marketed as a "realism" mod but says it adds fencing to residential.
