The game's object tunings are overridden in the script, which allows it to be compatible with other mods that override those objects. There are now only 2 files in the download please remove any previous files for the mod. Note: this mod no only has downloadable versions you can now set up whether or not the mod has counters and stoves default-enabled through the mod’s settings.


This mod should be compatible with any stuff or game packs and most other mods. If you have messed up the installation, the mod will warn you with an appropriate error message, depending on if the script is missing/not enabled/too deep, or if you are missing the package file. It uses a script, so the mod cannot be installed more than one sub-folder deep. It can be placed in a sub-folder if desired. To install, unzip the two files contained in the download file into your game's mod folder. If you like this mod, you may also want to get the Don't Wash Dishes Where You Angry Poop mod. Removing the mod will return counter and stove behavior to normal and allow Sims to prepare food anywhere. If there is no free counter or stove with food prep enabled, Sims will simply drop the food on the ground and complain about a route failure. NOTE that you must have at least one free counter and stove which have food prep enabled in order for cooking and baking to occur on a lot.

This setting for your counters and stove will be remembered in the save game file. To enable or disable food preparation at a counter or stove, simply click the object and choose the appropriate choice, "Enable Food Prep" or "Disable Food Prep". You do not have to be the lot owner in order to enable/disable food preparation, so the Default Enabled version is not required for the Dine Out game pack, and once a Dine Out location has food prep enabled properly it will continue to function for that save game. The Default Enabled version of the mod will default to allowing food preparation anywhere, but individual counters and stoves can be disabled by selecting them. The base mod will default to NOT allowing food preparation at any counter or stove until it has been enabled. Two versions of the mod are available depending on your playing style. Since it uses a script to setup the object states for the objects, it should be compatible with any counters and stoves in the game (even from expansion packs I don't have). This mod allows you to set individual counters and stoves on any lot to enable or disable food preparation at that location.
