The Sims 4: New Game Patch (July 18th, 2023)

There is a new game update for The Sims 4, preparing the game for the Horse Ranch Expansion Pack release this Thursday (July 20th).

This patch brings several bug fixes as well as new features, like paintable ceilings and “free camera mode” on Build/Buy Mode.

Your game should now read: PC: 1.99.264.1030/ Mac: 1.99.264.1230 / Console: Version 1.75.

Hello Simmers!

Those horses will be comin’ round the mountain in just a few days. To get ready for their arrival in The Sims 4 Horse Ranch Expansion Pack, we have rounded up a number of exciting Base Game updates and bug fixes to share with you. Let’s get into it.

-SimGuruGeorge

What’s New?

First off, let me introduce SimGuruAsh.

Heya, Simmers! Today’s update has an array of new hairs and Create a Sim presets.

Braids and long, flowing hair is important to the cultural identity of Indigenous People in America. To reflect this in-game, we are enthused to add three hairstyles in the form of a Double Braid, Single Braid, and Lengthened Hair that extends down to your Sims mid-back.

For our East Asian Sims, we have a large selection of new Eye Presets and Brows in tapered, straight, and wavy shapes.

You’ll also see three new under-eye bags in the Eye Details category.

To bring something delicious to the table, the Three Sisters Chili is now available to cook on the grill. In Native American tradition, “the three sisters” are corn, beans, and squash. They grow best together in the same plot. The eldest sister, corn, provides a strong foundation for the beans to climb. The beans enrich the soil with nitrogen. The youngest sister, squash, covers the ground, protecting all of their roots.

We can’t wait to see what kinds of Sims and stories you create with this update!

SimGuruGeorge back now. Traits have had a bit of a reorganization. You will now find traits more evenly distributed under the Emotional, Hobby, Lifestyle, and Social categories

I’m so excited to tell you about Ceilings! The ability to apply colors and patterns to the ceilings is now yours. When you open up Build Mode you will find the update where you would previously apply Floor Patterns (now renamed Floor and Ceiling Patterns). Simply select Ceilings by Tile or Ceilings by Room. Then select your pattern and apply it to the ceiling of your choice. This does not apply to the underside of roofs.

Lovely tiles and lovely calligraphy today! The name is 板垣 Itagaki (or Itakaki).

板 means plank, board, plate, or stage, and is read ita, han, or ban. Note the tree radical 木 on the left and 反, meaning anti, or to bend/warp/curve on the right. Mnemonic: you can bend wood until it becomes a plank?

We haven't covered 板 before, but it might look familiar if you have Japanese friends in PokemonGo; bulletin boards, or 掲示板 keijiban, for local neighborhood information make up like half of the gifts in residential areas (at least judging by my neighborhood!).

垣 we did cover once before, ages back. It means hedge, fence, or wall, and it's read kaki or en. You can see the earth radical 土 on the left and sun 日 on the right (and also the number one 一, two times). For a mnemonic, I can kinda picture standing on the ground, with a fence between you and the rising sun; the two parallel horizontal lines represent the slat of light visible underneath the fence and the brightening sky above?

The Ever-Evolving World of Fencing- Trends and Techniques for 2024

As we step into 2024, the fencing industry continues to evolve, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern innovations. Whether you're a homeowner looking to enhance your property or a contractor seeking the latest industry insights, understanding current trends and best practices is crucial. Let's explore the exciting developments in fencing, with a focus on materials, techniques, and the essential role of fasteners.

Sustainable Fencing: A Growing Trend

Sustainability is at the forefront of many industries, and fencing is no exception. Homeowners and businesses alike are increasingly opting for eco-friendly fencing solutions that minimize environmental impact while maximizing durability and aesthetics.

Reclaimed wood has gained popularity as a sustainable fencing material. Not only does it give new life to old timber, but it also adds character and charm to outdoor spaces. When working with reclaimed wood, choosing the right fasteners is crucial. Stainless steel nails are an excellent choice for this application, as they resist corrosion and maintain their integrity even when exposed to the elements.

Another sustainable option gaining traction is composite fencing. Made from a blend of recycled plastics and wood fibers, composite fence nails offer the look of wood without the maintenance concerns. When installing composite fencing, aluminum nails are often recommended due to their lightweight nature and resistance to rust.

The Rise of Smart Fencing

In our increasingly connected world, it's no surprise that smart technology has made its way into fencing. Smart fences integrate sensors, cameras, and automated gates to enhance security and convenience. While the technology itself is impressive, proper installation remains crucial. Contractors are finding that traditional fastening methods, including the use of high-quality stainless steel nails, are still essential for ensuring the structural integrity of these high-tech fences.

Minimalist Designs Take Center Stage

Clean lines and simple aesthetics continue to dominate fence design in 2024. Horizontal slat fences, in particular, have surged in popularity. These modern fences offer a sleek look while providing privacy and security. When constructing horizontal slat fences, many professionals opt for pneumatic fencing stapler to speed up the installation process. However, it's important to use staples specifically designed for outdoor use to prevent rusting and ensure long-lasting results.

Mixed Materials for Visual Interest

Combining different materials in fence design is a trend that's gaining momentum. Wood and metal pairings, for instance, create a striking visual contrast while leveraging the strengths of both materials. When joining these diverse elements, choosing the right fasteners is crucial. Stainless steel nails are often the go-to choice for their versatility and corrosion resistance, allowing them to work well with both wood and metal components.

The Importance of Proper Fastening

Regardless of the fencing style or material, the choice of fasteners manufacturing plays a critical role in the fence's longevity and performance. Let's delve deeper into some popular fastening options:

Stainless Steel Nails: The Gold Standard

Stainless steel nails have long been favored in the fencing industry, and for good reason. Their exceptional corrosion resistance makes them ideal for outdoor applications, especially in areas with high humidity or proximity to saltwater. When working with cedar or redwood fences, stainless steel nails are particularly important as they prevent the unsightly bleeding that can occur with other types of nails.

For fence builders looking to invest in quality fasteners, 316-grade stainless steel nails offer the highest level of corrosion resistance. While they may come at a higher price point, the long-term benefits in terms of fence longevity and reduced maintenance make them a wise choice for discerning contractors and homeowners alike.

Aluminum Nails: Lightweight Yet Durable

Aluminum nails have carved out a niche in the fencing industry, particularly for use with cedar and redwood fences. Their lightweight nature makes them easy to work with, while their natural resistance to rust ensures the fence maintains its appearance over time. Many professionals appreciate aluminum nails with spiral shanks, which provide excellent holding power without the risk of splitting the wood.

Pneumatic Staplers: Efficiency Meets Precision

For large-scale fencing projects or when time is of the essence, pneumatic staplers have become an invaluable tool. These devices allow for rapid, consistent fastening, particularly useful when installing wire mesh or attaching wooden slats. However, it's crucial to select staples that are appropriate for outdoor use and compatible with the fencing material to ensure long-lasting results.

Looking Ahead: Future Fencing Innovations

As we look to the future of fencing, several exciting developments are on the horizon. Advancements in materials science may lead to even more durable and eco-friendly fencing options. Additionally, further integration of smart technology could result in fences that not only provide security but also contribute to home automation and energy efficiency.

The fastening industry is likely to keep pace with these innovations, developing new types of nails, staples, and other fasteners designed to work seamlessly with emerging fencing materials and techniques. We may see the development of "smart" fasteners that can monitor fence integrity or even self-adjust to maintain optimal tension.

The fencing industry in 2024 is a dynamic field where traditional craftsmanship meets cutting-edge technology. From sustainable materials to smart integration, the options for creating beautiful, functional fences are more diverse than ever. However, the importance of quality fasteners remains constant. Whether you're using time-tested stainless steel nails or exploring new fastening technologies, choosing the right fastener for the job is crucial to creating fences that stand the test of time.

As we continue to innovate and push the boundaries of what's possible in fencing, one thing remains clear: a fence is only as strong as its weakest link. By paying attention to every detail, from design to materials to fasteners, we can create fences that not only meet the needs of today but are also prepared for the challenges of tomorrow.

Customizing the design of your metal privacy fence ensures it blends seamlessly with your home’s architectural features.

Modern Homes: Opt for sleek, horizontal slats or perforated metal panels with minimalist patterns to enhance a contemporary look.

Traditional Homes: Choose ornate details like decorative finials or wrought-iron-inspired elements to match a classic aesthetic.

Customizing these elements ensures your fence provides the exact level of privacy and functionality you need.

5. Integrate Lighting Features

Adding lighting to your metal privacy fence enhances its functionality and creates a welcoming ambiance.

Embedded LED Strips: Install lights along the top or bottom of the fence for subtle illumination.

Post Caps with Lights: Choose decorative caps with integrated solar or wired lights for a polished look.

Spotlights: Highlight artistic features of your fence, such as perforated designs or ornate panels.

Lighting not only adds charm but also increases security around your property.

Your gate is often the centerpiece of your fence and should reflect its overall design.

Arched Gates: A classic choice for traditional or ornamental fences.

Sliding Gates: Perfect for modern, space-saving designs.

Decorative Accents: Add monograms, custom patterns, or artistic details to personalize your gate.

A thoughtfully designed gate adds a touch of sophistication to your fence while improving accessibility.

Enhancing Your Property with Quality Fencing in Jacksonville, NC

As much as it may involve issues to do with security, beautification or even privacy, there is nothing as effective as good fencing. It is for this reason that people of Jacksonville, NC and companies are seeking the services of professional fence installers in Jacksonville. Whether you want a durable privacy fence or you are just browsing through the fences from different companies in Jacksonville, you are in luck.

Why Fencing Matters

Fencing is actually used for a number of reasons; security being the most important, but there are also aesthetic reasons. A good fence acts as a barrier to children and pets, discourages intruders and offers a quiet environment for outdoor activities. Also, a beautiful fence will add beauty to the compound and in case of a sale, it will be easier to sell the property.

Choosing the Right Fencing in Jacksonville for Your Needs

Privacy Fence Jacksonville NC

There are many types of fences but the most common one is the privacy fence. Privacy fences are named in such a way because they are specifically intended to prevent people from seeing what is happening in your compound and give a privacy area for leisure. Jacksonville, NC residents prefer wooden or vinyl fences for privacy since they are highly effective and can be painted in a style and color of choice. What should one consider when choosing a privacy fence depends on the height and material that would be ideal for use in his or her home.

Security and Safety

For enhanced security, solid, tall fences are often recommended. Many families opt for security fences with locks to prevent intruders from accessing their property. If security is a primary concern, consider consulting Jacksonville Fence Pros about options like chain-link or wrought iron fences—both durable and difficult to climb.

Balancing Functionality and Aesthetics in Fencing

While functionality is essential, aesthetics should not be overlooked. Fencing can enhance the beauty of your yard and home. Choose a style that complements your home's architecture and reflects your personal taste. Options range from traditional designs with thin vertical bars to modern horizontal slats. A professional fence company in Jacksonville can provide a variety of design and budget-friendly choices to suit your needs.

Wear Resistance and Maintenance - Durability means different things in terms of what kind of maintenance is needed by a material. They are attractive but they require frequent painting or staining if the wood is to be protected from deterioration. On the other hand, vinyl fences are usually more long-wearing and need little or no maintenance. If you do not want to worry about the material’s appearance during the first years of construction, then it is better to choose vinyl or composite material.

The Role of Professional Installers

But hiring professionals from fence companies in Jacksonville, NC will take less of your time and is very productive when it comes to installation. Here are some benefits of using professional fence installers:

Expertise and Experience: Reputed professional installers have the expertise to undertake all the tasks associated with the installation of the fences, including design and planning. They can offer good advice on which materials and designs to use in your property.

Quality Workmanship: This is because most of the professionals are highly qualified and skilled to handle the projects. A professional installer will guarantee that your fence is properly installed and the poles well fixed so that the fence does not develop problems in the future.

Time-Saving: Fencing may sometimes be a very laborious activity. It will save time and effort to allow professionals to do the job so that you can attend to other things in your life.

Compliance with Local Regulations: Fence height, construction materials and positioning are mostly dictated by local building codes and laws. Local officials are well aware of these requirements, and professional installers will make sure your fence complies with them.

Finding the Right Fence Installer

When searching for the right fence installers of Jacksonville, consider the following tips:

Research and Recommendations: The best approach to finding a good plumber would be to approach friends, relatives and neighbors and inquire from them. Other qualitative information which can also be obtained includes the actual or real life experience of the previous clients as may be gleaned from online reviews and ratings.

Get Multiple Quotes: It is recommended to call several companies in order to get the prices and the services they offer. It is also important to know what materials they suggest and how soon they could put up the new flooring.

Check for Licenses and Insurance: It is also important to see that the company you hire is licensed and insured. This saves you in case of any accidents during the installation process.

Ask About Warranty: Ask about the warrant that comes with the material as well as the workmanship. A good company will back their work and guarantee that in the event that something goes wrong, they will handle it.

When choosing a fence, it is always important to consider a quality fence because it is always a worthy investment. If you are seeking fencing in Jacksonville NC, Jacksonville Fence Pros is the best place you can visit if you need any fencing services. Our services include privacy fencing, security fencing and design fencing to suit your needs and style.

A well-designed garden is a sanctuary of peace and beauty, a place where you can relax, entertain, and connect with nature. One of the key elements that can enhance the charm and functionality of your garden is the fencing. Choosing the right fence panels is crucial to achieving the perfect balance of aesthetics, privacy, and security. In this blog, we’ll guide you through the process of selecting the ideal fence panels for your garden.

1. Understand Your Needs

Before you start shopping for fence panels, it’s important to identify your primary needs. Are you looking for privacy, security, decorative appeal, or a combination of these factors? Understanding your main requirements will help you narrow down your options and make an informed decision.

2. Explore Different Materials

Fence panels come in a variety of materials, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Here are some popular options:

Wood: Wooden fence panels are a classic choice that offers a natural and timeless look. They can be stained or painted in various colors to match your garden’s aesthetic. However, wood requires regular maintenance to prevent rot and weather damage.

Vinyl: Vinyl fence panels are low-maintenance and durable, making them a popular choice for busy homeowners. They come in a range of styles and colors and are resistant to pests and rot. The initial cost may be higher, but the long-term benefits are significant.

Metal: Metal fencing, including aluminum and wrought iron, provides a sturdy and elegant option. Metal panels are highly durable and require minimal maintenance. They are ideal for creating a sophisticated and secure boundary for your garden.

Composite: Composite fence panels are made from a combination of wood fibers and plastic. They offer the look of wood with the durability of plastic, making them a versatile and low-maintenance option. Composite panels are available in various styles and colors.

3. Consider the Style

The style of your fence panels should complement the overall design of your garden and home. Here are some popular styles to consider:

Picket Fence: Ideal for cottage gardens and traditional homes, picket fences add a charming and welcoming touch.

Solid Panels: For maximum privacy and security, solid panels are an excellent choice. They also provide a clean and modern look.

Horizontal Slats: Horizontal slat fences offer a contemporary and stylish appearance, perfect for modern gardens.

4. Determine the Height

The height of your fence panels is an important consideration, especially if privacy is a priority. Taller panels offer more privacy and can help create a secluded oasis in your garden. However, if you’re looking to maintain an open and airy feel, shorter panels might be a better fit.

5. Factor in Maintenance

Different materials and styles require varying levels of maintenance. Wooden fences need regular staining or painting, while vinyl and metal fences are more low-maintenance. Consider how much time and effort you’re willing to invest in maintaining your fence when making your decision.

6. Set a Budget

Fence panels come in a wide range of prices, so it’s essential to set a budget before you start shopping. Keep in mind that while cheaper options might save you money upfront, they may require more maintenance or need to be replaced sooner. Investing in high-quality panels can provide long-term value and durability.

Conclusion

Enhancing Your Outdoor Space with Privacy Screens for Decks

In the age of outdoor living, decks have become an integral part of our homes, serving as extensions of our indoor spaces where we can relax, entertain, and enjoy nature.

However, without adequate privacy, it can be challenging to fully relax or entertain guests. Privacy screens not only shield you from prying eyes but also provide a sense of security and comfort. They can block unsightly views, reduce noise, and even offer some protection from the wind and sun. Moreover, privacy screens can enhance the aesthetic appeal of your deck, adding texture, color, and design elements that complement your outdoor decor.

They can be painted or stained to match your deck and home exterior, and they offer a versatile base for climbing plants like ivy or roses, adding a natural touch to your outdoor space.

2. Wooden Fencing

Wooden fencing offers a more solid barrier for maximum privacy. It can be constructed in various styles, such as horizontal slats, vertical boards, or decorative patterns.

Bamboo screens are an eco-friendly option that provides a tropical vibe to your deck. They are lightweight yet sturdy, offering good privacy while blending seamlessly with outdoor environments. Bamboo screens can be installed as standalone panels or rolled up and attached to existing structures. They are also relatively easy to install and maintain.

4. Fabric Screens

Fabric screens are a flexible and stylish option for deck privacy. They come in various colors, patterns, and materials, such as canvas or outdoor-rated polyester. Fabric screens can be hung from pergolas, gazebos, or freestanding frames, providing a soft, elegant look. They are also easy to change, allowing you to update your deck's appearance with the seasons or trends.

5. Metal Screens

Metal screens offer a modern and durable solution for deck privacy. These screens can be made from materials like aluminum, steel, or wrought iron and are often available in intricate designs and patterns. Metal screens can be powder-coated in various colors to match your decor, and they provide a striking visual element while offering robust privacy and security.

6. Living Screens

Living screens, such as hedges, shrubs, or vertical gardens, bring a natural and organic element to your deck. Plants like boxwood, bamboo, or tall grasses can be grown in planters or directly in the ground to create a lush, green barrier. Living screens not only provide privacy but also improve air quality and add a sense of tranquility to your outdoor space.

Benefits of Privacy Screens for Decks

Installing privacy screens on your deck offers numerous benefits beyond just privacy. Here are some key advantages:

1. Enhanced Privacy and Security

Privacy screens create a secluded area where you can enjoy your outdoor space without feeling exposed. They also add an extra layer of security, deterring potential intruders by limiting visibility into your property.
