no offence, but wouldn't it be easier to request a hack so you can walk through that particular fence? 

Hehe, don't worry, none taken!
But that wont help at all in my case... see that particular 'fence' is like an inch tall, and sims DO already walk over it.. The problem is that because it's counted as a wall, any space confined by this 'wall' becomes a new room, and unless you have a door leading to that new space, apartment life will not recognise the space as being part of an apartment. Just look at this to see what I mean:
Part of Apartment Tutorial explaining why Divider or 'step over' fences wont work
I wanna be able to place a 'rug-like' object that mimics the apearance of the divide like the one above, but because its a rug, it doesnt function as a wall.
And here's an image of the situation that I'm having:

See the difference? I wann be able to have that same look with the Dividers, without them being wall-type objects (of course in all colours as some will look better with black, others with silver, and others with light wood dividers).
If these could become 'rug-like' objects that you place, they wouldnt function as walls and therefore, would not close off any spaces and therefore they'd look good and not obscure any apartments =D!
