    I need some more help with this one, please! Auto counter IS off, I see the display of different counters to the left, but none of the options are for rounded/curved. What am I missing here?

    Once you turn off Auto Counters, as posted above, you will get the rounded counter option on most of the counters in the catalog. I think it was the ones that are truly kitchen counters and not bathroom counters. (There is a slight difference in appearance, and I noticed that ones designated as bathroom counters didn't seem to have the option.) When you click on a counter in the catalog it will show you the different shapes available for that counter, just like it shows the color choices.

    Thank you for the help! I was pressing a bunch of different keys on my keyboard hoping to find the right button to curve the counters and then started to search online. Went through so many useless pages and posts before I finally found this one. Thank you! :)

    Nevermind, figured it out. You have to turn off "Auto Counters" for some reason for you to get this option.<br />
    You click on the counter you want and on the left of the image you will see the style bar on the left that has color lines. Click that side bar and you will see a popup on the left with different types of counters, including the rounded one.

    THANKS!
    That was driving my crazy!

    Does anyone know how to attach diagonal counters or bar sections to a straight piece? Like this one, for example?

    I've been wanting to build my grandparents house in Florida, and they had a square kitchen with counters all around, but then a bar section that came off it at a diagnonal. I can't find a way to do this. You can with MOO, but it looks awful.

    I have a diagonal breakfast bar that seats 2-3 people in my kitchen that separates the kitchen from my open concept dining room area that I have never been able to properly copy in game with out it looking weird because it always takes MOO to do it - which is not really advised because the sims use the counters. Using Moo in anything the sims use is always dicey because it is known to corrupt the lot - sometimes even the save since Sims 3 (Moo was originally a Boolprop debug tool - but since Sims 3 we don't use boolprop any more so some of the thing it does in Sims 2 that it was designed for - it won't do in Sims 3 or 4, and because it was not designed for use for systems other than boolprop - it does not always play nicely with Sims 3 or 4) - but at least in Sims 4 I can round that area ingame with no moo - even though it is not like my actual kitchen, it is better than it was and no Moo needed. LOL.

    I am hoping that maybe with this new kitchen pack they will add the ability to have diagonal counters like this one. I am not holding my breath, however, and there is no way I am buying it until I check out what others are saying. I have been tempted to buy a few of the others, but after reading about all the glitches and unhappy people, I have not bought a single one of them. :(
