Can't Resize Counters Anymore

Yes this has been a problem for quite a few months. Yet another glitch. No worries. I'm still gamin'....'Cause I just looove the SIMS!!!

@AltaniH, do you have auto counters on? It's a button over on the left side, just to the right of where it shows how much money your sims have, when you select the counter. You cannot resize auto-counters and need to have that off for resize to work on them.

I have noticed this also. But not with counters.
Heh!

I use them to freely move other items. For example, some counter appliances still snap with bb.moveobjects on. So you'd put them on an island, shrink the island, then you're free to alt drag both the island and the appliance. This lets you get this closer together to ignore the snap/ object grids. I did this with a coffee pot that I wanted near the back of the counter. Put it on an island, shrunk the island, and moved them both to slip the pot out of the way.

I didn't even realize i could have been resizing counters

but weirdly I'm like 99% sure i could alt place closets from get together before so they wouldn't cut corner awkwardly and now I can't

I use Alt-placement a lot, but never tried the closets. I always build a room around them, not placing them out in the open. Some times part of a larger walk-in closet.

i mean yeah but i often end up with like 3 squares of space to use instead of 2 and i think in that situation it used to be possible to slide them along the wall like windows with alt it just bothers me when the edge is weirdly inside wall or something

@Frogeems I really wish they would add above-stove mounted microwaves to the game. I agree with you that they are very common and it would be nice to have them in the game AND have them be functional in that position.

Have you tried just raising the microwave using the ] key (with MOO on)? I'm not sure if you can get the desired height that way though. Edited to cross this out because I checked and microwaves can't be raised/lowered. They are like dishwashers in that they are tied to counters.

or even just make ovens that also function as microwave cause those apparently exist and always lacking counter space really

Okay I have to ask.... what are you guys doing with resized counters?

I'm wondering the same! Are they even functional when resized? I can imagine sims spazzing out and waving their little arms :D

It is so frustrating when sims try to use things that aren’t accessible, especially in a kitchen when they’re just trying to eat. Functionality is more important to me than aesthetics; I’m in the game to play it, not just look at it.
