I am trying recover a mod I use to use

@Lord98Athena 

I remember those but weren't they from Sims 3?

You don't need a Mod to place multiple items on surfaces though. 

1. Place the clutter object on a surface as normal so it snaps into place.
2. Hold down the Alt key and click and drag the clutter object off the surface. It will stay at the same height as the surface it was on.
3. Move the table/counter then hold down Alt and click and drag the clutter object back over where the surface was and place where you want it.
4. Repeat with multiple clutter objects
5. Move the table/counter back into place, so all the clutter objects look like they are on the table.

They might have been as well, but I definitely used them in 4 I never used mods with 3 to nervous haha. 

I know what the traditional way of doing it is. I like that mod for a lot of different things so was looking for it again. I found it a lot faster with the mod, especially since I like to build.
