So, when will we get cool postapocalyptic visible electric cables back instead of unrealistic locking empty connections?

You hardcoded this so bad that no mod can be made.
Give it at least a toggle option!
 
Yeah, having it be an option would be good. I get that they look more realistic with wires and that some places could be nice to have wires, such as running wires between the power poles. But it took so much work to hide wires or make them look nice against a wall or wherever that I prefer the way it is now. I play other games that still have visible wires and it is either really messy or else you have to do a ton of wire management. Not really what I enjoy in a game like this. But an option is good.

There were a number of wireless electricity mods before they changed vanilla. And Darkness Falls had it. A different relay was used when you wanted to hide the wire. TFP could have gone this way. I also seem to recall a mod where you could choose the wire color, and one of the colors was invisible. Maybe Undead Legacy? Subquake mentioned a while ago working on visible and invisible wires. Don't know if that's still the case.
 
Previous versions of TFP used visible wiring, but players created a mess of wires. A mod that hid the wiring became widely popular, so the developers changed the wiring to hide it. I like the current hidden wiring; it improves performance and provides a better visual experience for players who aren't good at dealing with wiring. Showing the wires would make those running through walls feel unrealistic, especially for players who aren't skilled at wiring. Of course, having options is good, and I neither oppose nor endorse any particular choice, but if changes are to be made, it's best to retain the hidden option.
