    @SproutLee I can confirm that this is the case in my game as well and will add to our list.  I'm not 100% sure about The Diving Sit Oblonger though, since it is categorized as a sofa, and I always took it to be one, just in a very modern minimalist style.  However, it is described as a bench in its write-up, so no harm to list it as well and ask the question.

  • This is an old glitch (I saw it in TS2 over ten years ago), and it's easy to work around. Not all of the benches are mis-categorized. Just use other benches for the minimum requirement, and if you want to add more, go for it. I just uploaded a cemetery a few weeks ago and had no problems doing so.

    I have noticed that most of what should be categorized as park benches are listed in the Ottoman category. Very confusing...

    @gooochyeee I have certainly questioned the logic at times for what’s a bench vs what’s a couch. The werewolf log, for example, is apparently a couch.
