Japanese Low Dinner Table

I've cloned a BG coffee table without even re-texturing it. If someone is interested in a re-mesh,
it's important to keep the same surface's size (for animations' sake), 4 legs and void inside to avoid
clipping in case Sims's knee reach till there and of course using the same slots.

Many things are xml tunable and I won't specify them all, just take a look at the TUNING xml in the
*_Mod package, the tags names are self explanatory and there are also a few comments.

If eating a single serving, Sims will keep eating until it's over or until a timer expires (the first of those conditions).
If eating a group serving Sims will keep eating until a timer expires (at that point a single serving will be "removed").
Note: this last method can be exploited interrupting the interaction to not "consume the food".

Sims eating at the table can ask to another Sim to join them (clicking on the Sim, not on the table).

I forgot to tell that the eat interaction ignores the vegetarian trait. This way of eating is already
so limited that I thought it was better to not add another limitation. Not sure if something happens
if a vegetarian Sim eats a non vegetarian food (and I've tested the mod with a vegetarian Sim,
but I never paid attention to that).

By default, group talking while eating is enabled. The animations are a bit weird, I didn't make them, they
are animation overlays that only involve some parts of the body, they don't fit very well with this short table,
especially the children animations have a lot of clipping with it.

I know I should have shifted the children position for the napping animation (like I did for the eating animation)
but I find amusing their napping pose (even if their arms defy gravity) so I left it that way.

Sims will autonomously take care of spoiled food like they normally do. Nothing to do with the mod.
Sometimes they will pick the food from the table and put it on the fridge (maybe even eat it in a regular
way, but I don't think I've witnessed that) but they do these stunts also with normal gameplay, don't they?

Food in the fridge don't get any special interaction (you can't click on the fridge and choose to
eat a food in my table), but you can always open the fridge and drag-and-drop the food on the table.

I've disabled the autonomy for the Seiza interaction on the table because Sims would kneel and then
stand up right away (I guess this is due to a not properly implemented custom Posture). But you can
user direct them to "sit" there and you can also make them use a sub-set of social interaction (like chatting,
they are the same interactions they can do while sitting or in other postures different than the default
standing one) with another Sim standing or kneeled or even sat. Unless I missed it, I haven't
seen Sims using these social interactions autonomously (on my table, I mean).

I make no promises, because I might be close to modding-burnout, but if someone makes me a Japanese themed
tea cup as CAS accessory I'll try to integrate a simple tea drinking feature to this mod (I guess I'll also need a teapot
but I'm still not sure how to handle that, maybe an object with geostates to show how much tea is still in it?).
I've found this one, but it looks too "western" and I can't find any usage/modification policy on that site
(well, I don't fully understand what it says in the first place).

For the eating interaction, Sims wear a special outfit (that simply adds the chopsticks) that is
deleted when the interaction is done. But I'm guessing that if you save the game while there
are ongoing interactions, then remove the mod, Sims might keep that outfit in their data.
To prevent that, I've added a Buy/Build mode interaction (CTRL+SHIFT click on the table)
to remove all special outfits from any Sim (of course this is restricted to the current world
you are playing, so if you used the table somewhere else you should do the same there).
So, use that interaction if you plan to uninstall the mod.

Uninstalling the custom trait might be more complicated. If I remember correctly,
the instructions on the description of my Programming Skill mod should cover it.

This was actually an old project of mine that I've recently re-taken.
See this thread for more details.

Of course this mod should take full advantage of a custom Posture (I use one here and another one on
the Japanese Culture Trait but I haven't really understood how they work), so Sims won't have to stand
and kneel again to use another table-related available interaction.
