Undid revision 859805 by 74.198.131.130 (Talk) I don't have much information regarding serving meals to make it valuable. Until then, it can stay here (in ref form, it's fine yet)
(Has more to do with food than with surfaces. Probably should go on that article rather than here.)

==Counters==
{{Missing-info|TS4 set pieces}}Counters and island counters are mainly used for the preparation of meals; food cannot be prepared anywhere else without any of these preparation surface objects. Counters, just like any surface object, can hold small decorative objects. Small appliances and cash registers can only be placed down on and function properly on a counter. Meals will also typically be placed on a counter when they are finished. When a pizza is picked up by a Sim or munchie bot, they will leave it on a counter if there is no accessible desk on the lot.{{confirm}}

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.

==Tables==
Tables are typically used as dining tables, where Sims will eat their meals whilst sitting at. The number of plates that can be served on a table depends on the size of the table and, the number of chairs surrounding it and the total number of sims that can dine are on the lot.<ref group="n">Because of the way how meal serving mechanic works (and possibly part in of the developers' oversight), Sims that don't benefit from inapplicable food (toddlers, ghost, servos, and plantsims) will be considered accountable for the calculation check. However, there is [http://www.modthesims.info/d/344323/call-to-meal-fixes-and-place-setting-fixes.html a mod] that resolves the issue.</ref> Sims can eat from the tables as long as there is a chair located next to it facing inward. Once all available spots have been filled, the serving Sim will place the serving platter or bowl in the middle of the table, or on an empty countertop. Certain interactions, such as toasting,{{vgversion|TS2:NL}} are only available while sitting at a table.
 
Tables can also be used to hold small items, including small decorative objects. In ''The Sims 2'', some of these decorative objects will prevent other objects, including plates, from being placed on the table. A [https://modthesims.info/download.php?t=287228 mod] from [[Mod The Sims]] is available that fixes this.
