Sectional Couches!
Need I say more?
Forum Discussion
Creating kitchen counters are a nightmare. I know first hand because I'm a CC creator.
A single cabinet is made up of 10 different meshes.
But, that's not the hard part, the hard part is that all 10 of those meshes use the exact same texture! There is literally just one single texture for all of the counter shapes and one texture for all of the countertop shapes.
It is ridiculously tough to squeeze all of those pieces from each mesh object onto one image and keep it seamless so that the texture looks good on each shape of the counter.
I can't imagine them doing that with a sectional sofa. Now I could see them making individual pieces that showed up in the catalog to make your custom sectional and would "snap" to each other, but to have all the pieces basically be inside one object like how the counters function, I doubt that would happen.
I'm almost positive the reason we don't get more kitchen counters and cabinets is because of how complex they are to make in TS4.

-
- 5 different meshes make up the counter that goes against the wall and creates the automatic backsplash, this includes the main counter and then the outer corners and the inside corners.
-
- Then you have those exact same meshes without the backsplash for when the cabinet is not against the wall.
-
- And that's just for the High LOD (Level of Detail), some counters have a medium and/or low LOD, depending on how intricate the counter is, so it renders better for low end PCs. So for those, they would also have the 10 mesh objects that make up one counter.
