Never thought about it but glad it's made. Could you do the same with cards? If you have Outdoor Retreat it comes with a card game too I wouldn't mind having the ability to place it wherever and be portable!

Nice addition. I was just building an ultra-modern, sci-fi home the other day and was a little irked there are no matching Maxis chess tables to suit the build. Now the possibilities have exploded! Great stuff.

What a perfect solution, and it makes so much sense. I mean really most chess games are not nailed to a table. Thank you!

Ha! Ha! That's Revolutionary, it's taken 16 years for someone to finally remove the chessboard off the chess table! Reminds me of TS2 when TV's were glued to the Stand until research finally removed it.

hey i talked with another modder on here and they said to try using TSR Workshop instead of sims 4 studio since sims 4 studio is not able yet to edit the lost geostates

I didn't know that they were supported in TSR workshop, I will absolutely have a look and see if I can add them. Thanks for letting me know.

I placed this board seemingly 'ok', locked the seats to the table but it didn't work.. it stated 'not enough seats' (or something similar, was a few days back now) love the idea though.

Thanks. I am guessing the issue is the seats are snapped to the table not the chessboard. To get it to work, try picking up the board and turning it on an angle on the table, place the chairs so they snap to the board (so they will be on an angle as well) and then pick up the board ( which will pick up the chairs too) and rotate it back to straight. Let me know if that gets it to work for you.

Added an image to the thread with an example of how to place the board if you are having difficulties still.

Default Thanks, it was the table I used though...
Thanks, but it was the table I was trying to use (a sort of hexagonal one..cc ) I swapped to a regular table and it works ok when I place the chessboard last it works ok to 'change the angle' as well.. by grabbing onto anything to twist it round.

Many thanks Kya Sarin, very very nice - yes, a bit tricky with the seats. Unfortunately the chess pieces do not move when the sims play chess. Please tell me, did I something wrong or need another EP / SP? Greetings

It's probably a minor drawback to modding the chess table. I've seen it happen in other objects that had animations.
