Japanese Low Dinner Table  

Game version 1.67 (might work with other patch levels, beats me)

Requires my Japanese Culture Trait mod
(a version updated on 15th June 2016 or a later version if I ever make one)

Requires the Chopsticks as accessory by Kilhian (for this mod to work, you just need the CAS accessory version)

Description

Where do I start? This mod is embarrassing at some many levels. The title is weird (I didn't know how to call it), the animations suck and I'm not able to do it as I'd really like to. So before I delete it out of frustration I better upload it.

This is a table (cloned from a BG coffee table) that allows Sims to eat while kneeling on the ground.
It has a lot of limitations and some issues. I've also added a napping interaction because... not sure
why, it just came spontaneously.

As I said, the animations are very poorly made. Some are simple poses with no transitions.

How it works? I'll describe the default behaviour, but some things are xml tunable.

With drag and drop you can place a food on the table and Sims can eat it clicking on the table itself
(even autonomously and even Sims without the Japanese Culture Trait).

Note: Sims at the table will all eat from the same central plate/bowl/whatever, even from a group serving.
This was done for technical reason because it was easier to implement it this way (see the technical section
for more details if you are interested on the explanation).

Sims will also place food on the table autonomously if they have my Japanese Culture Trait.
It will also work with Snacks, if you stop the eating interaction that is done automatically when getting
them from the fridge and place the snack on the table.

Note: by default, only foods eaten with a fork are enabled to be eaten and placed autonomously
on the table. You can change that, if seeing a soup or a hot dog eaten with chopsticks doesn't bother you.
(if someone makes me a spoon as CAS accessory I might, MIGHT, try to add that and the hand-eating
(nah, I don't think I can do that, it needs an animation for the food too, I could use the one of the picnic blanket
but in there Sims have the legs crossed), but I'm not very keen on the idea of doing more animations). As always,
anyone is welcome to contribute or even modify and redistribute my mods without my involvement, so maybe
in the future someone will improve it.

Note: the "Serve" interaction to place a food on the table will only be available if there's a free table.
I know this is obvious but if the table is off camera you may wonder why the interaction is not there
(yes, I'm talking from personal experience).
