Functional Dining Benches (Modular)
Usable, modular dining benches - however, they're not a "true" modular object (like sectionals, counters, etc.) Those suck and we hate them. Ahem, moving on - they come in three separate pieces, each showing up on their own in the catalog and functioning as a dining chair. They will snap to tables, desks and anything that uses regular dining chairs. They line up perfectly when placed next to each other and create a seamless object and texture. You can create a two, three, four or fourteen tiles long bench if that's what you need. Length is up to you entirely. (Although after a point it starts looking a bit ridiculous and like it would snap in the middle if you sat on it. But I'm not the bench police, so you do you.)
There are 3 different designs:
- Minimal - has left, right and middle pieces. Left and Right have two recolorable channels, Middle has one.
- Modern - has left and right pieces - use middle one from the Minimal set. Left and Right have two recolorable channels.
- Rustic - has left, right and middle pieces. Left and Right have three recolorable channels, Middle has two.
All pieces can be found in Comfort/Dining Chairs and cost $100.
All have 3 presets. First one has a custom wood pattern that you can change the color of, but doesn't look good with another pattern on top of said wood. Second and third ones are fully recolorable. The second has a 2; 2 tiling, the third - 4; 4.
And I think that is all - enjoy! Here are some test puddings putting them to good use, a.k.a. everything I could think of that can be done on a dining table:

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.
