Place Sinks on Counters with Clutter in Deco Slots
sink_stays.png - width=939 height=549
With this mod, the game won't prevent sink placement when counter's deco slots are occupied and vise versa. Unfortunately, it'll be a bit difficult to fill deco slots when sink slot is occupied, due to slots priorities. This is what you can do:
- place clutter first and sink after
- grab deco object, hover it over a counter and press "M" on your keyboard to put it in slot
- or just turn moveobjects on
Requires any EP (from University to any later pack)
Conflicts
Technically, this mod overrides "Function - Prevent Place in Slot" from counter globals, and will conflict with other mods that do the same. Feel free to report, if you find any!
Doesn't conflict with The Slot Enable Package
Let me know if you still experience sink disappearance with this file, I have an alternative solution and I will share it, if this one won't be enough.
If you want to know, the other solution is to disable the sinks' "Start Live Mode" function that snaps them to counters when you go to Live mode. It's this function that actually wipes the sinks from counters by failing to snap them when there are deco items next it. The whole snapping appears to be useless, but I'm not 100% sure, so I'd rather leave it be (sink is already snapped by you placing it on counter with a hand tool, but there may be reasons for this function to exist, so there's that).
