If someone could either tell me how, or just give me a link to the tutorial, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You can use dummy levels, same way as TS2: http://mikeinside.modthesims2.com/b...alls/index.html ... but that's about the only way right now, besides just using fences.

Simply make the wall that you want to be a half wall. Enter the cheat 'constrainFloorElevation false' (without the ''). Then place some decking next to the wall, but 1 tile away. Enter the cheat 'constrainFloorElevation true' (without the '') or press up once and change the false to true. Delete the decking and voila! A wall the height of decking!

You'd need to test, though, whether sims can access the tiles underneath/near that roof – I've only done this in TS2, didn't try it in TS3 so far (not in a liveable area at least).

You don't have to do that, as when you place the decking, it levels *all* of the wall
