Just a simple request but I'd like to be able to add outdoor lighting on gate and fence posts like we were able in Sims 3. Although if we could add a bit on the actual fences that would be awesome.

Overall, I do agree if there's an option for us to at least lit up the fences without too much trouble or give an option to have lights on it (just like the recent feature that they're going to add to the knit stuff pack, where the sims can knit to unlock different knitted wear).In Sims 3 you were able to add outdoor lights on the posts on just about all the fences. In Sims 4 we don't have that feature and I find it always sad to go backward. If they could add lights to the walls of some of the fences that would be awesome however I'd be happy with just the posts.

I know some Simmers are opposed to using Moveobjects in their builds, but if you're open to the idea, it's very easy to put lights on fence posts using this build cheat. Just turn on the cheat, find one of the outdoor ground lights that you'd like to use. Place it inside the post, then use the 9 key to raise it up to the top of the post. Here's an example of a build where I've used this method:https://i.imgur.com/2yA3qbY.pngHope this is helpful! :)I do agree it would be nice if we could have snappable fence post lights though, similar to what we had in TS2. Hopefully one day. Also, @xamira99 is correct, we do have a fence that came in a recent free update that has outdoor fence post lights already incorporated into them. It was included with the configurable u-shaped stairs update. The Devs did a livestream that showcased the fence too. Happy Simming! <3

I didn't remember that we had the lights on the posts in Sims 2 as well as in Sims 3. What a shame we went so backward in game that should be far more advanced.

I keep forgetting that we're so limited in this respect. Every do often I will try to place something and be annoyed when it fails. Using the cheat is a good idea though. We definirely need more lighting to work with fences.

With Seasons you’re able to do that. There’s a box (the attic stack decoration box, to be more precise) in buy mode. After you buy it, click on it and then click “Put Up Decorations”. There’s multiple choices on what kind of decoration you want to put up. It puts up decoration on the roof & lighting on the fence.

I think on the last few patch, we do have the last fence. Overall, I do agree if there's an option for us to at least lit up the fences without too much trouble or give an option to have lights on it (just like the recent feature that they're going to add to the knit stuff pack, where the sims can knit to unlock different knitted wear).

I thought about that but I'm not sure I want the seasonal decor up year round.
