Absolutely agree that this gate needed a matching fence!
I'm sure I'll use this a lot. Thanks!!

Fences and gates are always much appreciated for their usefulness.

@ Aki Kaminari, I can see that your Gate is "new" but the fence have been done before by creator tbudgett here http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=313434

Edit : At a closer look at your fence it is straight across the top, wherein Tbudgett have more of a wave at the stop so yes your fence is quite different and new and very nice.

That's what I was going to say. I have Tbudgett's cemetary fence, which is so similar I got confused at first. This sort of thing can easily happen with maxis completer stuff when you're pulling a texture and reworking it into a new item (the maxis gate into a fence, in this case). I did this once with a set of maxis-match floors, where I made a bunch of floors to match the kitchen and bath walls, then got on MTS to upload them and discovered that some of them had already been done by other people, and they were identical to mine. All I can say is: great minds think alike, and now we have options. Tbudgett's fences offer a range of colors, but yours are level across the top instead of waved, which I think makes the gate appear more dramatic. They're both good. If nothing else, I'm totally grabbing that one-tile gate. Thank you for sharing your hard work!

Sweet! I was looking for a fence to match that gate as well!

@Aki Kaminari you might like to mention in the description, that even though "both the fence and gate are repositoried to the original EA gate", you can not recolour a fence so any recolours you have of the 'The Sentry By Wrought Co' will recolour the gate but will not recolour the fence.

Whenever you see a "Say Thanks" button show the creator you appreciate their work...click on it.

That's a good point. I've added information about that.

@Aki Kaminari: Please consider using this information to make a lockable version of the gate for OFB+. When OFB made Maxis gates lockable, it didn't do it in a way that also made custom gates lockable. so a gate based on a pre-OFB gate won't be lockable unless it's updated manually.

Also, would you consider looking at The Emperor's Gate from Seasons, which almost matches the "Failed Fences of Analogia"?

Thanks so much for making this! I've always needed a tall wrought-iron fence for my simmies.

Thank you for that tip. I don't use the locking function much in my gameplay so I hadn't noticed it was missing. I've added an additional gate that can be locked.
As for the gate you mentioned, I went in-game to see what you were talking about, and now I see why you mentioned it. Silly Maxis, making gates too tall for their fences.

Great add-ons! I too already have the curved version by Tbugett but I prefer this straight fence. And the small gate is perfect!

The fact that you included a 1-tile gate with this fence makes it superior to tbudett's fence for that reason alone, in my opinion. Those of us who make Lots mainly for upload appreciate CC links to be kept to a minimum, so it's nice to get both the fence and a gate here at the same link.
