Counters are typically placed together in a row, like sectional sofas, and can be placed around corners. From ''The Sims 2'' onward, the {{Key|Shift}} key no longer needs to be pressed in order to place multiple counters at a time.
In ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 4'', [[dishwasher]]s and [[trash compactor]]s{{Vgversion|TS2}} must be placed under a regular counter.<ref>In ''The Sims 2'', the [[moveobjects]] cheat can be used to bypass this restriction. This technique does not work in ''The Sims 4''.</ref> This is not a requirement in ''The Sims 3''. In ''The Sims'', dishwashers and trash compactors cannot be placed under a counter and are always standalone appliances, although objects, including plates, can be placed on top of them. A counter that has a dishwasher or trash compactor underneath cannot have sinks placed on them, as there is no room for the basin and the pipes.
[[Cat]]s can leap onto countertops to eat any food placed on them.{{Vgversion|TS2:P}}{{Vgversion|TS3:P}}{{Vgversion|TS4:C&D}}. [[Dog]]s in ''[[The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs]]'', [[dog]]s can snatch food from countertops. [[Vampire]]s can fly over counters when they have transformed into bats.{{Vgversion|TS2:NL}}
In ''The Sims 2'', Sims preparing a meal on a kitchen counter will open the drawers to obtain cooking utensils, such as spoons and cooking pots. If the counter does not have drawers, or if a dishwasher or trash compactor has been placed underneath the counter (thus taking the space of the drawers), they will simply "generate" the needed utensils out of thin air. Served meals placed on an island counter can only be accessed from the drawer side.{{Vgversion|TS2}}
In ''The Sims 2'', players do not need to hold down the {{Key|Shift}} key in order to place multiple countertops at a time.
Some commercial counters are only available for community lots, and cannot be placed on residential lots.{{Vgversion|TS2:OFB}}{{Vgversion|TS2:P}}
