Default Building Frame Fence/Wall and Roof/Floor
Anyone know of/where to find a set of fences or walls, as well as a roof or floor texture that resembles a frame of a building?

Something that would allow for a build like this:

I remembered seeing these "Simple Wall Studs" fences awhile back: http://linna.modthesims.info/download.php?t=521859

I want to say I remember seeing a similar WCIF thread, but either I can't find it or it was just my imagination.

Thank you for a rather quick response, and for leading me to a rather great item! I will definitely be making use of that. Would you happen to know any roofs to go along with it?

PERFECT!

Thank you very much! I can probably make some rather interesting builds with these.

I'm surprised I couldn't find the wall/fence part. Thank you for pointing me to that one!
The roof beams... I would have never even thought to look in the deco section of buy mode for that one! That likely saved me hours of scouring the web! Thank you.

This build set might also be useful: http://modthesims.info/d/446927

Another option for the roof is to use the ConstrainFloorElevation (CFE) cheat, which allows you to create the roof beams using fences.
This tutorial uses it for a pool covering: http://linna.modthesims.info/showth...nfloorelevation

Here are some roofing beams. http://www.khanysims.be/set-poutres-apparentes.php
Also this elaborate set (looks kind of hard to figure out) https://www.thesimsresource.com/dow...-set/id/992813/

Thank you KatyFernlily for pointing those out as well. I will see what I can do with those. The second one seems particularly interesting not only for the construction, but also for decoration after the house is finished...

Thank you jparks.gsp for the walls and fences!

I have finally started a new house using these:


I know it is technically going to be cheaper to just build the house in the long run, but my family does not have the money to just plop down on a 10,000 square foot house at one time, and a half finished house with untextured walls does not look good! This will allow me to build the frame which does looks rather good, then do main plumbing when I can afford it, then move on to wall in some rooms as afforded and go bit-by-bit while leaving the rest as frame.

By the way, it turns out that is what $4,500 worth of lumber looks like!

That's what I used to do, but honestly, I just don't like seeing a half textured empty build as I progressively build on it.

Here is what the site looks like as a whole:


NRaas Tempest hard at work halting my construction with days of that Springtime rain! :P
