Disposing of trash

I liked that when placed on a community lot it will spawn a waiter and visiting Sims will make use of it as a functional restaurant.
What I didn't like was that it didn't fit with older themes.
As a result I have retextured it to look like a dumbwaiter instead.
It comes in two preset designs, seen above, with four CAStable channels. It can be found under Kitchen > Refrigerators / Stoves and Appliances > Large Appliances
It retains all of its original functionality, including the Advanced Technology skill gain.
The digital display has been removed and made to look like a chalk board so that it now appears as if Sims are reading from the menu when they make their selection.
Digital sounds can still be heard when new recipes are programmed in but removing this is beyond my skillset.
Many, many thanks to Bloomsbase for helping me beat this object into working submission.

This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.

Install Instructions
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
