Counter
Please improve this article if you can.
Countertops, or counters, are a type of surface primarily used for food preparation. Small appliances, such as microwaves and toaster ovens, can be placed on counters. Non-freestanding or wall-mounted sinks need to be placed on a counter. In The Sims 2 and The Sims 4 dishwashers and trash compactors must be place under counter; it's optional in The Sims 3.
Counters used for food preparation will eventually get dirty and will need to be cleaned. In The Sims 3, using a kitchen appliance placed on the counter will dirty it too.
There are three types of counters: kitchen counters that are usable from one side; island counters that are freestanding and can double as a dining surface; and general purpose counters typically used for cash registers and certain display racks.
Usually, placing a counter in an existing row or gap between perpendicular-manner place counters, a corner-piece will be molded. Starting from The Sims 2, players no longer need to hold down the ⇧ Shift key in order to place multiple countertops at a time.

List of cabinets
For details and discussion, see the talk page.
Cabinets appear in The Sims 3 and The Sims 4 and are styled after their respective counter set. Regular cabinets are hung on the wall and are meant to appear above kitchen counters, while double-sided cabinets must be placed under a ceiling or inside a room. Counters are purely decorative and serve no additional purpose.
