This is something I haven't had a lot of luck finding. There are some "seaside vacation" awnings, and a few other ones that I like the look of, but not how they work in the game. Some sit super high on a wall, others are too low, and many are standalone objects with only one color. To look right on a shop or restaurant, they should really only be 1 tile deep, and long enough to cover at least two or three from side to side. Or... a modular one 1 tile wide, which could be placed end to end to look like a single long seamless awning. If it had nice rounded edges, that would be great, but I realize I can't be super picky. I've included a couple of screenshots... one is a "fixed" style (green), but I would prefer the "roll down" type (red)... it's a nicer shape. I've tried to do a faux awning by placing a shed hipped roof, but my building sits too close to the sidewalk to permit this... and, of course, it doesn't really look like an awning.

As for the railings, I would like to be able to match a railing to that of a staircase... so that at the top of the stairs, you can run a railing along that actually matches the handrail on the stairs. I've found a couple that are pretty good matches, but not quite right, and they only work for certain stairs. Also, ones that match the modular stairs would be great, for front porches. This issue has bugged me for a while; I just never thought of asking about it in a wcif? post before.

These converted 3t2 awnings look they'll do what you want - I just checked in game and they're shiftable, so you can adjust them to suit the windows and what you're building. They're repositoried to the Jonesi bed blanket so the recolours are practically infinite - but signwriting on them would be trickier.

It might be best to show which modular stairs you want railings for, because there are actually a lot out there. And I'm guessing you want them to match the default stair color?

Haha, good point. I guess I was just thinking of the basic Maxis modular stairs, and the standalone staircases as well... "upwardly mobile", etc. Even then, I suppose one might have quite a few of the Maxis ones from the various EPs, even without downloading any customs. You're right, I'll make a list and update this query.

Well, here's the list of stairs I regularly use. I was hoping someone would have made a "Maxis Match" set to go with the base game stairs, but tbh I don't know that I could pick those out, necessarily. Well here goes.

Staircase objects:
Simple Structure
Upwardly Mobile
Stare Stepper
Altitude Attitude
Stairway to Eleven

Modular:
Wooden Stairs
Steadfast
Almost Indestructible
Stairs Nouveau
Chic Stairs

I took the picture without remembering that I already have a good match for Arboreal Ascendancy (the green one).

That looks like a good workable shape. Yeah, I hadn't even envisioned getting writing for it, but I've collaborated with people on signage before, where I did the Photoshop and they did the trickier modeling part, so I suppose it wouldn't be too much trouble. Even without writing, though, I'll have to see about getting some recolors... the cake slice pattern thing is kind of giving me a migraine. Thanks much, I appreciate it!

If you're hunting for Jonesi blanket recolours that would work on the awning (don't worry, that cake pattern is not included!), I like iCad's coarse linen set - the texture looks like it could work outdoors.

I was hunting for fences recently and found fences to match Nouveau stairs and Upwardly Mobile stairs.

Wood/Green rails and for the Indestructible stairs, the Balustrade Minimaal in game already matches it and matching gates here. Chic modular stairs already have a chic fence in game as well.

Pretty sure @shastakiss has links to sunni fences to match all the straight stairs in game.

Edit: I found two of sunni's fences in my archive.

Hello, here are some fences for Maxis staircases and modular stairs

There's an in-game fence (see pic) to go with the Stairway to Eleven staircase but you might like Spaik's recolors with matching fences

Ah yes, I forgot about the Minimaal, as I almost never put railings on the Indestructible stairs... I tend to use them in place of stone steps, for historical lots, but I think that might just be me being lazy and not bothering to look for proper medieval-type modular steps. And I guess I never thought of the Chic fence as matching the stair railing, but tbh I also haven't used it in a while.

Anyhow... thanks, Lunie, for the assist, and thanks @shastakiss also. I'm gonna call this one solved.

Cool, I'll check those out. I got a few recolors, but not the iCad ones. I found a set somebody did of plain and also tartan blankets. I've only ever seen one tartan awning... on a local shop in Chicago belonging to The Scottish Plumber (the pipes are calling...). Thanks for the link.

EDIT:
It remains to be seen whether the recolors will appear in my catalog in the same order as they do on the attached swatch from iCad's Simblr. iCad, in fact, suggests that the darker colors may obscure the linen texture in-game, and that the user may choose to go back and delete those shades of they don't work. But the recolor files aren't named by color, they're just "rec 1," etc.
