OP could you give those who did not play TS2 a description of how the Free Awning Tool worked? A video or tutorial?
As a builder I can imagine this would be very useful to me, but I'm not sure how it works.
It basically works as if you're building walls/fences but instead the tool "draws" awnings. It was included in TS2 OFB. You could make awnings next to walls, or not. So instead of using limited wall decorations you're putting down awnings with the length and shape that you want. They had multiple styles too. It was great for the exterior of stores, restaurants and hotels.
This picture on google shows an example of what you could do...

My love, my love, my fearless love, I will not say goodbye..
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
I’d say if that’s the same height as the roof, perhaps it makes sense for the team to add roof patterns and roof trims that look like awnings, so that we can customize and place different pillars underneath depending on our taste. It would work the same way the thatched roofs and trims are designed from Island Living.
What would even be better is if we can create awnings lower than the roof on any level.

The TS2 awnings hang below the roof, they are wall height. They were great as you could make both window awnings and tents with them.

You can't really do that in TS4.
Thank you for taking the time to explain it! Yes, that's a yes for me too
One of the finer build options in Sims 2. Makes me so upset that they did away with it. My favorites are the thatched roof and the art deco pieces. Shoot if they made the tool with the listed below colors and styles I'd pay the kit price for it.
1. Thatch & Bamboo
2. The art deco style with the curved glass
3. Stripes
Blue & White
Red & White
Black & White
Baby Pink & White
Baby Blue & White
Green & White
Green & Grey
Grey & Black
Red, Blue & White
Yellow & White
Yellow & Black
Red & Green
Blue & Green
Red & Black
Grey & White
Beige & White
Beige & Black
Beige & Green
Purple & Green
Purple & White
Purple & Black
Orange & Black
Orange & White
4. Solid - Different color trim if it really enhances the look
Red
Navy Blue
Hunter Green
Yellow
Black
White
Grey
Orange
Baby Pink

Royal Purple
Brown
5. Shingled Awning
Black
Baby Pink
Green
Magenta
White
Navy Blue

Baby Blue
6. Shiny Metal
Copper
Rubbed Broze
Silver
Gold
I'd also like a wide variety of the traditional shapes for my money
1. Shed
2. Gable
3. Half Round
4. Waterfall
I'd like them to have some choices on valances

Thank you @Sigzy05 , I appreciate this.
That’s certainly a YES for me! 👍🏼
Couple pics I found from my game:
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
Great to see the variations of awning styles!
