Tall tables/dining counters for a pub
Many times, in bars that aren't also dining establishments, they'll have stand-up tables around the room for couples and small groups that don't wish to be right at the bar counter. The famous Berghoff bar in downtown Chicago didn't even have bar stools for many years (even though you could get sandwiches there); the customers just stood at/leaned on the bar, which is something I'd be curious to see in the Sim world. Looking back on my experience with Sims and bars, I can't say as I recall any Sims ever actually standing at the bar while they drink or eat... they always retreat from the counter a few feet. If it's not possible to have them stand at a counter while they "dine" - and even if it is - I'd also like to find some taller tables: ones that they'd need bar stools to sit at, instead of regular dining chairs. I did find one example on another site, but it's weird, modern and kind of spindly-looking... not to mention square. I'd prefer something round, and a little more sturdy in appearance.
I don't know that there's a difference in the Sims between "counter height" and "bar height", but there must be tables somewhere that are tallish, and that can accommodate up to 4 diners sitting on stools.
If anyone's seen some, I'd appreciate the assist.

You can already place barstools around the bar and at islands, and sims will use these.
This chair "OMSP" could perhaps be of some help: https://modthesims.info/d/473731/co...hair-omsps.html or this desk "OMSP" https://modthesims.info/d/550234/is...nter-desks.html - but I'm not sure if they'll be fully usable in the way you think.
I don't know if there are any taller tables, though, at least not ones that work as dining tables. It's probably possible to do, but I don't know how practical it would be with animations and such (food serving in particular - getting the chairs/tables to function would most likely be possible, but I'd imagine there would be some problems to tackle).

Sorry for being vague - this is a two-parter. I'd like there to be a way to get them to stand at the bar/kitchen island while they do whatever they're doing. But also, to find some bar/island objects that are in the shape of tall round tables, that Sims can sit around. I doubt very much whether the first one is even possible - if there are no seats, they'll stand up in the middle of the room and eat their birthday cake off a handheld plate, rather than be smart and put it on a counter. I have a suspicion, however, that someone out there has in fact created the second one - I'll just have to keep looking. If not, there's always regular old round cafe tables.
The "island desk" thing is interesting, though. I'll see if I like it... might be good for dwellings where there's not enough space for a lot of furniture. Thanks!

Yep! I found the dive bar one about a half hour ago, and was about to come update the post. There's some nice stuff in this set; hopefully most of it will work with my EPs. Thanks for the other one, too - I guess I should've just searched for "counter-height" to begin with. Cool beans...

If there aren't any places to sit, or if they for some reason "fail" to find a seat, sims will stand and eat/drink, You can strategically place some seats on an invisible OMSPs (the black one by Silentlucidity works) if you don't want them to be used, and put routing OMSPs around other tables, so sims can stand close by or even around them while eating/talking.

I don't think you can make them use tables while standing, because that's not a behavior coded into the game. The closest you get is posing with pose/animation boxes, which works for storytelling.
