Tables

Kind picks a table archetype and its everyday starting size:

• Dining: three lengths (1, 2, or 3 tiles) that seat Sims around it; the readout below shows exactly how many.
• Coffee: a low table with no seating slots.
• End: a small side table with no seating slots.

Choosing a kind sets width and depth to that preset's defaults. Drag the sliders below afterward to fine-tune the footprint without losing the kind.

Width and depth set the tabletop's footprint in meters, and legs, cloth, and containment slots all scale to match.

For a dining table, the readout below shows how many floor tiles it spans and how many Sims can be seated around it, computed the same way the exported package is. Coffee and end tables always show "No seating", because they don't ship seat slots.

Top Shape controls the tabletop's outline: Rectangle and Rounded keep the full width/depth footprint with square or filleted corners, while Circle and Oval inscribe an ellipse within it instead.

Thickness sets how deep the slab is, from a thin 2 cm café top to a substantial 8 cm slab.

Edge Profile sweeps the tabletop's outer band into one of eight silhouettes, cut inward from the same straight-sided default so the top's overall footprint never changes:

• Straight: today's plain vertical band, unchanged.
• Inverted: a linear undercut sloping inward toward the bottom, like an underbevel, full width at the top surface and narrower where it meets the legs.
• Beveled: an angled cut starting at the top corner down to a mid-depth inset, then straight the rest of the way. The bevel sits at the top.
• Chamfer: flat at the top and bottom with a single diagonal cut across the middle third. This is the classic mid-edge chamfer, cut lower than Beveled.
• Ogee: an S-curve wave (rise, dip, rise, ease back), a cyma-style molding profile.
• Bullnose: a full half-round hump, flush with the top and bottom surfaces and peaking at mid-depth.
• Roundover: a quarter-circle curve confined to about the top third of the edge, flat for the rest, so it is round only at the top corner.
• Waterfall: a broad quarter-circle sweeping continuously from the top surface to a deep inset at the bottom, rather than rounding just one corner.

Legs have two settings:

• Arrangement: Corners puts one leg under each corner of the top; Pedestal centers a single column instead.
• Profile: the same lathe-profile editor as vases, revolved to build each leg's silhouette. Drag points to reshape, click the outline to add one, double-click to remove.

The profile is normalized to the leg's own height and capped at a smaller radius than a vase's, so a bulky point never balloons a leg wider than the top it holds up.

Turn on the tablecloth to add a fabric skirt hanging from the tabletop's edge down toward the floor.

• Drop: how far the skirt hangs, from a short lip to nearly floor-length.
• Overhang: how far the cloth outsets past the tabletop's edge before it starts falling, like a real tablecloth's overlap.
• Soft Edge: rounds the hard crease where the flat tabletop meets the hanging skirt into a gentle fillet, from a sharp fold to a softly rolled edge.
• Ruffle: adds a wavy gather to the hem's outline, from a flat edge to a pronounced ruffled trim.

The hem's own finish (plain, scalloped, or lace) lives in the Hem control below. The cloth gets its own color and art in the swatch panel (see the Tablecloth section there), independent of the top and leg colors.

Hem picks the finish along the tablecloth skirt's bottom edge:

• Plain: today's flat hem outline, no lift.
• Scallop: lifts the hem into a repeating lobed wave, like a scalloped-edge tablecloth.
• Lace: the same scalloped lift as Scallop, plus a woven-look dot/arc lattice band painted into the fabric right along the hem.

The lace band is skirt-only: it's painted just above the hem's bottom edge and never touches the flat tablecloth top, so any cloth art you've placed there stays untouched. Hem combines with Soft Edge and Ruffle above, so a rippled Ruffle plus a Scallop or Lace hem reads as a fuller, more decorative skirt than either alone.

The tablecloth has its own color and, optionally, its own uploaded artwork, independent of the top color and wood grain.

Cloth art is centered and unplaced, so it reads as an overall fabric pattern. For a placed motif on the cloth, use Cloth Stickers instead. Turn the tablecloth on in Table Shape to see it in the preview.

Colors sets the base color for the tabletop and the legs independently, such as a light oak top over dark walnut legs.

These colors show through wherever wood grain isn't painted over them. The top color also feeds the swatch's catalog dot, but only until something else sets swatch colors explicitly: uploading top art while Swatch Colors is Auto extracts colors from the art and uses those instead, and switching Swatch Colors to Manual lets you pick the dot colors yourself.

Wood Grain paints a procedural grain texture over the two-tone colors:

• Top / Legs: toggle which regions get grain; turn both off for a flat painted look.
• Intensity: how strongly the grain darkens and streaks the base color, from a faint hint to a heavy woodgrain.
• Seed: randomizes the grain pattern; change it to get a different streak layout at the same intensity.

Grain renders under any top art you add, so transparent areas of your art show a hint of the wood beneath.

Slot Markers overlays translucent spheres at every seat and deco slot the exported package will ship: orange for seating clusters, green for the deco grid Sims and objects snap to.

This reads the exact same layout the generator ships, so what you see here matches in-game placement. It's a preview aid only. The markers never appear in the exported .package or in-game.

Chair Markers overlays a translucent blue ring at floor level everywhere a chair will snap when a Sim sits at this table: the exact _ctnm_chr_ position the exported package ships, broken out from the generic Slot Markers overlay so it reads as a chair footprint rather than a seating-cluster dot.

This only appears for dining tables. Coffee and end tables ship no seating, so there's nothing to mark. Like Slot Markers, it's a preview aid only and never appears in the exported .package or in-game.
