These are composite walls, made of concrete but with colored pebbles and shiny bits of recycled colored glass tossed in to give them color, texture, and interest. For the game, I nabbed pictures from the manufacturer's site and then edited them to make them work for the game. Which means that each of these is actually a slightly different texture, not the same texture in various colors. Here's a swatch of the 15 textures/colors:

The swatch was made from in-game pics taken fairly close up to show more detail on a sunny-side wall. And because I was in a mood to fart around with pictures, have a couple more pics of some of the colors on the sample house, with one more attached:


These are all found in the "Poured" Wall Covering subcategory and they cost $8. The files are Compressorized and clearly named. There's a copy of the color swatch above in the zip file to help with picking and choosing colors if you don't want them all. And...that's all I've got.
