This is just what I've been looking for. I hated trying to used the two tile tables with the three tile couches so I would take three of the one tile tables instead. Thank you so much!

I haven't tried this yet, but it looks great. I was just thinking that maybe you could use the "moveobjects on" cheat to put something on the extra third of the table. Thanks for making this table, it's another one of those objects Maxis should have created. I love that it borrows the textures from the two-tiled table. I was wondering if anyone else is bothered by the one-tiled tv (the cheapest one) not looking right with a two-tiled couch. Maybe someone could make that tv centered between two tiles. I'd offer to do it, but I can barely recolor clothes. Well, anyway, thanks for the coffee table, it'll make decorating much less frustrating!

With the move objects on cheat, you can place 2 coffee tables on top of another but do them in different directions, and you can use all three tiles of the table, even put 2 objects in the middle. If you have university, the middle of the coffee table can be filled with stuff you turn 45 degrees by cheat. I hope that makes sense.

And thank you for making these! I love long coffee tables, I have 2 at home!

And thanks for linking the color options to the originals, that really saves a lot of recolor download time :D

IgnorantBliss, you must have read my mind, lol. Yesterday I was thinking to myself that I wish someone would make three tiled coffee tables, as I cannot stand how the two tiled ones look ingame in front of the three tiled sofas and I have not tackled new object mesh making, myself, yet.

I could kiss you. Thank you so very much! ::downloads and runs off to play game....::

Brilliant!!!!

Why hasn't anyone thought to do this yet?

I grumble about having to use the snapobjects cheat to get them centered, but have never thought about just asking someone to create a 3-tiled table! Duh!

About the 3rd tile that isn't usable, there is a great set of invisible tables, counters, and end tables here on MTS2 (cannot think of the creator's name) that you could use to put an object on and then use the moveobjects cheat to put it on the un-usable tile! That's what I am going to do!

Thanks for having the genious to create a very necessary object that everyone of us needed without realizing it!

Merry Christmas!

Thank you, the coffee tables are usually too short for the sofas. This is great.

The T.V problem is very easy to fix.All you have to do is type in Boolprop snapobjectstogrid false and then objects are no longer bound to the shackles of tiles!A when youre done type Boolprop snapobjectstogrid true

I don't think even a move objects cheats makes you able to put anything on that third tile, at least I wasn't able to when I tried, but to use the cheat to place two of these tables on top of each other facing different ways probably works and makes the third tile useable! And the invisible table idea sounds great, that might work, as well! I never even thought of those options, thanks for the ideas!

YAY! i've been wanting something like this. now they'll work with the 3-tile couches and will still match the 2-tiled coffee tables. any chance of making them 1-tiled? or making the 1-tile coffee tables 2 or 3-tiled? thanks for this!

I've been thinking of that (making one-tiled versions). We'll see how it turns out

. And maybe also bigger versions of the one-tile tables if it works out in a way that's not too weird looking.

You have made my day with this! You don't know what a thing like this means to me. I stopped using the rectangular tables because they just didn't sit right and started using the square ones instead. thanyou for making this. P.S. i think i love you.^_^

Thank you sooooo much! I never used the other coffee tables because they didn't look right with the three tiled couches.

To those who understand, no explanation is necessary.

This is wonderful! And I do not mind at all about the third tile not working, so long as the two do! I seriously do not know what Maxis was thinking making those two tiled coffee tables. Honestly, I never put coffee tables in front of love seats. ALWAYS in front of couches. Its too bad you cannot center things without using cheats. I hate using those things (I love hacks though, lol). Thanks a whole lot for these! You are the best!
