Walls

I hate their color, why can't we have gray ish walls. I dislike the red. it doesn't go with anything


I like the idea of having brick walls, but I agree -- the TSTO implementation is crummy. I don't like the color or the size. And the graffiti variant looks dumb.

    being from the UK red brick walls are kind of the norm for me to see but have to agree they don't really fit in to
    the Simpsons world. would be nice to have some other colour variation to play with, the graffiti I placed around the school, but don't think it really fits anywhere eles.


    I've used the red brick wall very sparingly in my town. I dislike the graffitied version of the wall so much, it remains one of the very few decorations that I haven't used at all. (One other such is the volleyball court, because the scale is so poor.)

    The walls are of a terrible out-of-place design, they need to be replaced with something like the walls around the Kwik-e-mart (without the iron fence on top of it) or behind the Krusty Burger:

  • I agree so much - I want grey walls too! I've got a walled garden behind my Burns Manor but I've tried to disguise the disgusting colour with trees going round the outside and spiky shrubs in the inside. The walls work ok with Krabappel Apartment but not as good as grey ones would.
  • At the moment, i'd settle for being able to build walls ;) But do agree looking at pics of them they do look a bit large, maybe we'll be lucky and a smaller "garden" type wall will become available as a decoration in a yet to come level.
  • The problem with thinner walls is that EA can't seem to overcome the resulting gap when two walls meet.

    We had thinner walls with the snow, and the gap is why I quit using them.
  • I think ideally, walls that would go with the style of the little stepped ones on the side of the white houses would be what i'd want, something to go around the houses that isnt a blooming picket fence.
  • I don't mind the red color walls but variation colors would be great too.

    Here is what I did with the walls. I think it looks pretty good :P

  • I use the walls a few times in my town, but sparingly as the definitely do clash.
  • Don't get me started on the fence attached to Flanders house. It is brown, so it looks weird if you use white fence around his house.
