Say Thanks!
Thanked!
As we saw in the Glass Rail Stairs post, Jeff the Testor pointed out that he needed some matched fencing to keep him from stepping off the deck. I made 5 new fences to match the stair rails. Here's Jeff enjoying the first one (green):
Then I made three more fences - red, chrome, and copper. Since that was more fence colors than stair rail colors, I also threw in some new recolors for the modular stairs, to match the new fences.
So now everything matches... almost. I didn't make a fence for each color of glass for every combo of rail and piston. Instead, there's just one representative fence for each rail color. I tried to pick color combos for each fence that would more or less look fine with whatever combo you come up with for your stair rails. (For anyone keeping track, there are now 192 possible color combos for each step - but still only eight fences.)
Here's a current family photo of the Glass Rail set.
You can have ALL of them for your lots for the single low price of a "Thanks" at the top of this page.
Enjoy!

This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.

About Me
POLICY/TERMS-OF-USE ADDENDUM:
I don't mind if you include any of these meshes with your lots**, as long as you provide a link to the original MTS page for the mesh. Posting my mesh on any site by itself, or claiming it as your own work, would be considered rude and a breach of my trust and love for you as a fellow simmer.
**Above policy does not apply to Remote Control Thing - it contains an NPC that could possibly corrupt a neighborhood when removed, and I doubt that downloaders would appreciate something like that hidden in a downloaded lot.
