2008-12-05: Updated to v1.02. Pets AtomicAge dining table (round glass 1-tiled table) was fixed.


All Maxis tables, desks and end tables have fixed slot height of 0.8. If the table mesh height is lower than 0.8, you'll end up with The Mysterious Floating Plate. Higher than 0.8, the table will eat the objects placed on it. This glitch happens mostly in poorly made custom tables, but sometimes EAxian objects suffer from it too.

For example, the mesh of BV Hotel end table is slightly higher than standard table height. If you put thin objects like bills or coupons on it, they will be eated by the table. (See the screenshot above.)

This mod adjusts the slot height of several Maxis tables, so that small objects will not bleed into the table.
You have to sell and re-buy existing tables.

List of objects fixed by this mod:

• End Table by Splendid Scenes (Table - End - Hotel)
• Blooms & Boomers End Table (Table - End - Groovy)
• "Visivue" Dining Table (Table - Dining - NightClub 1x1)
• Beta Fomicron Dining Table (Table - Dining - AtomicAge)

If you notice other tables afflicted with similar glitch, please let me know.
