What an awesome idea! Thank you very much for sharing. ♥it

The only downside with coolers are that once you add stuff into the coolers, like the milk or eggs, then the game doesn't count them anymore as ingredients when trying cook. It would be cool if this could be changed somehow. Oh and the cute picnic baskets that came with CoL can only hold 4 objects and then count as full. That's a real shame.

Done and done! Version 2 with cooking, independent fridge inventories, and picnic baskets that can hold 20 items. I want to add ingredient-specific cooking menus. You can download it now on my Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/posts/54911390
It is technically still a work-in-progress, so I am requesting a $1 contribution for early access. This includes access to other small project downloads.
Thanks for your feedback and suggestions!

This is fantastic - it's too bad that you can't add/open it while it's in your sim's inventory, since having to place/pick up adds a slight extra annoyance... but this is so beneficial when, for example, waiting for the Finchwick Fair to end.

Thanks for your feedback. I really wanted them to open while in the inventory, but couldn't figure it out. If anyone has a suggestion or knows of an object that opens while in Sims' inventories, please let me know!

I'm so happy to hear how this has helped improve your gameplay experience!

You're welcome, but you forgot to mention that the new versions are not public.

Modern or Industrial-style Containers

Quote: Originally posted by justpass11

Yes, absolutely!
Other modders have already made:

- The Fairest Trade Crate Display @ Ravasheen's Fresh is More mod: https://ravasheen.com/download/fresh-is-more-storage/
- RAW utensil and cookware sets, wine bottle rack, pot rack, spice racks, dining hutches, Concept Coffee Mug Rack, and more!
@ SrslySims Mega Storage Mod: https://srslysims.net/mod_megastorage/

Here's what I can do for you:

• Add/remove cooling inventory or labeling to any objects mentioned above
• Add storage, label tuning to sculpture items:

- Cluttered Mind Box Set
- Caress Stacking Crates
- Pro-Quality Knife Block Set
• Add storage, label tuning to kitchen cabinets, side tables, coffee tables

New meshes:
I am not a mesh artist, but I can extract clutter from EA meshes, i.e. VAULT series. There is storage clutter on industrial bookshelves, coffee tables, console tables, and a bathroom sink.

• Parts can be extracted from the sculptures mentioned above.
• Reconstructing missing/hidden sides of a box is tricky, but I can try.
• A deco slot can be added to the furniture so you can replace the functional storage piece
• For VAULT cabinets as shelves, I have to modify the glass to make the deco slots accessible from the outside.

Known Limitations:

• Counters or islands cannot be turned into storage without disrupting other functions
• Separating furniture and storage clutter, then using bb.moveobjects to combine causes routing errors.

Note:

• I do not have items from Industrial Loft Kit
• I do have Get Together, City Living, Tiny Living, and Snowy Escape

Please let me know the catalog names of EA meshes and the clutter items you want me to modify!

Any mods created in response to this request will be posted for FREE on my page @ https://www.patreon.com/cielorama

Looking for something that will allow me to sell a carton of eggs, or a pint of berries. This might work at least for the former :)
