They are all custom objects and show up in sycamorepearl color (pink) with the little star.

Hi first off I think the counters are awesome!!
I did a recolor and found when I put the counters in the corner (3 of the same counter) it shows a back trim on one side of the corner counter?

this is made on purpose as that object is mainly a connecting element.

Yes, Fat_D is right.

To be precise, the "NoBackTrim" corner is supposed to have always one side against a wall: infact, if there is no wall on either sides of the corner, you'd better use an Island, to create the corner; and if both sides of the corner are placed against a wall, then you'd better use a Maxis counter.

Look at the attached screenshots to see the proper usage of the various elements:
- the items in green are the Maxis counters (always against a wall)
- the items in red are the "NoBackTrim" counters (always far from the wall, except the corner, that has only one side against the wall)
- the items in white are the Slim Islands (always far from wall, including the corner)

ahhhh cool so what your saying is when using your tops one side has to be next to a wall when its used as a corner but if your putting in a duel sided wall corner your better off using the basic top.

and if your placing it in a corner that has no walls that you should use an island (provided your game can use them to corner)?

thats cool ... guess i need to buy NL haha

I love the counters. Simply Awesome. But I have many "L" type corners that would need the Maxis counters to not look odd. I'm still going to use these counters against two walls whenever possible just for the use of the corners but I noticed (I think it was Fat D) had something for corner use. I was wondering if there might be something in the works so that you could use a corner for the Maxis counters that would not interfere with these counters. So when you do have to use the Maxis ones, you could still use the corners. I know it's pushing it but I was just wondering. Either way, I still think the counters are great and plan on using them all over the place.

A little something amusing btw. Right above the original message above from Numenor, you'll see a message from Fat D. If you are reading these messages straight down all you see is ... (from the bottom little script from Fat D's message) I do not have an underscore in my name! Then exactly underneath it, all you see is ... Yes, Fat_D is right.

Lol. Just thought I'd share.

Oh, you don't have an underscore in your name! Lol! Sorry :p

Bunny, this project is still in progress: many other additions will be made; amongst them, we'll add counter corners with no back trim at all, hanging cabinets and lots of other stuff.

And regarding the usable corners for the Maxis corners, I've asked to Fat D (without underscore :D) to remove the mod he made, because I'm going to release a bigger mod that will implement usable corners for *all* the MAxis counters, including the CounteCulture ones.

Don't worry about the underscore, now you know and it's fine.

I write Unibrowed_Penguin's (TS1 moderator at simlogical) name without underscore whenever I spell it out (except this time)

I wouldn't have brought it up but I just noticed it and thought it was funny. It even looked like a response to your subscript when I scrolled fast:
"I do not have an underscore in my name!"
"Yes, Fat_D is right ... he does not have an underscore in his name..."

Lol.

Numenor: Thank you so much. That's really awesome to know. And it's great that all of you plan on doing all of that. I really appreciate all the effort everyone is putting into this work and I'm looking forward to it immensely.

And thanks Fat D for being so gracious to hold up on your work so that there could be additional work done and there wouldn't be any conflicts.

And maybe the Scarborough collection counters as well? Please? Pretty please? Please with a pint of beer on top?

I hate to be annoying, and if this isn't possible that is fine, but I don't understand rar files at all. Therefore, I can only download zipped.
Is there any way you could make this a zip file? I would be forever grateful.

If not, thats okay too...fantastic idea too.
