To Fence or Not to Fence

usually no fence because It often just looks too weird but some neighbourhoods that look like fences make sense I add them

it also annoys me not being able to actually place them on lot border which would make whole lot more sense

As soon as they can financially i always place fences. At first on a small space, creating a small private outdoor area, then i make it bigger and bigger untill all lot is fenced.

I always fence in the back yard.

It depends on the world for me, worlds like Newport and Willow Creek get nice backyard fences while Glimmerbrooke and Windenburg don't. Other neighborhoods it depends on the size and style of the house

Most of the time I add a fence at the back because that's what I'm used to in real life and the property looks too open without it. They normally have to wait for it because they can't afford a fence at the beginning. The front it depends on the location and the building itself but I do like using a low fence or scrubbery at least partway across the front.

I only put fences around my graveyards

Very, very rarely will I totally fence in any of my Sims properties. However, if my Sims house has a porch, always have fencing on it. I particularly love wrap-around porches with fencing and columns. I will sometimes put a fence around a pool, balconies and as a corner accent piece with trees, bushes, flowers, rocks at the two front corners of a property. Sometimes I'll use fencing on a roof-top area, but usually use half-walls instead. I'll occasionally use fencing to create a lattice roofed pergola over a patio area as well.

I just don't think about them. Unless I'm making something I want fenced in. Like a garden or a graveyard in the back or a porch/deck of some sort. I don't think I ever put a fence around my sims houses, now that I think about it.

Depending on what kind of unique home I make.

Depends on the house, and the landscaping of the yards. Sometimes I only fence the back because I don’t want to hide the landscaping out front. Sometimes I do the entire yard to convey a sense of privacy, it really depends too on the personality of my family at the time. Are they very open and welcoming or do they enforce their boundaries?
