UPDATED TO FIX THE WHITE LINE ISSUE...SEE UPDATE BELOW

Welcome to my first ever kitchen set-Patio Kitchen and Dining which I have a feeling people will like and enjoy it.

ME RAMBLES ABOUT THE SET
So sometime last year, I thought I could make just a counter since I have never done one , but then I had to stop due to my broken arm. Did I say broken arm------Yah I did. Broke it while playing Basketball. But then again after recovering from it, the thought of the counter came right back into head and so I made up my Mind on going for it this time around.

So yes, this outcome started from me trying to learn counter meshing and to see if I could succeed. After many attempts and failures I finally got to get a working counter by Using the Patio Counter from TS3 as my base. After getting the counter to work, I thought to myself why not add some appliances and I went about doing that also. Having finished this more thoughts came into my head and this single thought resulted to me making the Patio Kitchen.

SET INFORMATION
The set contains both counter with doors and drawers as well as two Island counters which are slaved to the main counter. To complement the counters I thought of adding some cabinets and thus a total of 13 cabinets were created which can be used in any combination. One of the cabinets is meant to act as a fake oven. All the cabinets are slaved to the AP_PATIOCABINET 01 .

Also there are two counters referred to as deco counters, the two of them were made to go with the long cabinets since sims were always happy placing food on the counter when the big cabinet is over a main counter and as a resulting effect, it normally hides the food resulting to food spoilage and flies. To prevent this, the two deco counter can be used and as such sims cannot place food there anymore ( I recommend to always use the deco counters with the long cabinets).

Of course every kitchen needs appliances, and so I made 3 fridges, 2 stoves, a dish washer and trash compactor. The main fridge is a standalone object with its own recolor while the rest of the appliances are slaved to the counter mesh.

Having a kitchen requires a dining for eating and so I added two dining tables and a dining chair to go with them. Oh yes counter islands require a bar stool leading to me adding a bar chair to go with the Island counters.

Set Recolors
The main counter mesh has 13 recolors widening the options for different combinations. The cabinet has 11 recolors that can go with the counters. Most of the other objects that make up the set are slaved to either the counter or the cabinets and sometimes to both. Some objects are standalone meaning they have their own recolors and are not slaved to any object.
Well, below is all the information you need to know about the set. It is my that you find it interesting to use in your game.

Note
Do note that the hood alarm was made to fit into the cabinet mesh master and cabinet 02, and so requires the cheat “moveobjects” to fit into it.

COUNTER UPDATE.
I have worked on the counter files to fix the issue of the white line appearing under the counters. In the AP_PatioKitchen_Counter_Fixed file are included all the counters. That is the counter mesh, the two island counters and the two deco counters. Please delete those objects from your downloads folders and replace them with these ones.

Also please note that the two counters with the word deco in their name. Just like it says they are just decorative counters and nothing more. They are decorative counters and Sims cannot use them for food preparation and you cannot place a sink on them. That is the function of the counter mesh. The reason for the two deco counters as I stated earlier is for them to be used with with the long cabinets. Normally when Sims cook, they are usually placed on a counter that is nearest to them. So if you use the main counters with the long cabinets, Sims will place food on them and the long cabinets will hide the food from view and when you have spoilt food you will not get to know. So to use the long cabinet and not worry about that happening, use the deco counter under the long cabinets and Sims will not place food on them to prevent the food hiding.
