Functional Cake Stand With Optional GtW Version

Description
This cake stand has been half finished in my projects folder for quite some time now so I thought I best get it finished up and shared with you all.
It's basically a decorative display that has a medium sized slot under the glass dome so that you can display your Sims' culinary creations. I wanted to make it originally so that I could have something to display my baker's produce on in her shop.

Info
The mesh originally comes from Get Together but I have cleared out the deco food that was attached to it to make it functional.
The display is capable of becoming dirty and Sims will need to clean it.

It comes in a total of 14 colour choices.

It can be found under Surfaces > Displays or Surfaces > Misc. for a cost of 100 simoleons.
It should also be available under the Bar, Cafe and Retail Venue sorts.


There are TWO versions available for download. This bit is important.
In the zip are two files. One labelled "BG" the other labelled "GTW". You can have only ONE in your game.
Use the "BG" version if you DO NOT own Get To Work.
Use the "GTW" version if you DO own Get To Work. This will allow the stand to extend the shelf life of food placed in it as can be seen in the screenshot.
If you put both files in together they will conflict with each other.

Notes
There is a known EA bug that may cause objects slotted onto objects that are slotted onto other objects (in this case food slotted to the cake stand which is slotted to a surface) to throw their contents into the household inventory when the Lot is loaded. If this happens, just know that it is a game bug and not caused by this display.

If Businesses & Hobbies is installed, when food or objects are placed in the GTW cake stand on a Residential Lot it will visually appear as if they have been marked for sale. This is visual only as Sims will still be able to be directed to perform all regular interactions on the displayed food/object.

The glass won't get in the way of placing or grabbing items in the stand. It won't stop Sims interacting with the food either.

These stands can be stacked on top of each other. It serves no purpose but looks kind of neat.

Updated 29/05/25: The inside of the glass is now visible when looking through the display. The lid handle is now correctly shaded instead of having sharp edges. Three additional swatches have been added. A Dirty state texture has been added to the GTW version so that you can visibly see when the stand needs cleaning.
Updated 22/06/18: The glass should now show correctly for all Mac and PC players. If you were not experiencing issues then you do not need to get the updated files.
