So I made a V2 of these tables to be used with any barstool. You can download the updated files, let them overwrite the old ones and delete the special high dining chairs if you had them, and that's it!
Obviously morepopcorn's mod is required, It is included as kindly allowed by their policy

GUIDS are the same so you cannot have both versions at the same time in your game or it will conflict.
----------
I had been looking for high-top tables for a while without success, so I decided to try making some myself. I know of at least three different lowered dining sets for TS2, so I found it surprising that raised tables had apparently not been done - unless they had but disappeared in internet limbo? To be fair, after starting this project I did find this counter-height table by mustluvcatz, which was not the style I wanted but greatly helped me in the process.
So here is what I came up with:
- 2 counter-height tables matching the Brasserie and Vintage Retro tables from Nightlife
- 3 barstools working as dining chairs, cloned from mustluvcatz' high chairs from her Kim's Table set, and using Maxis meshes from Nightlife and the base game. The animations are not perfect but overall it works fine.
Since the tables and barstools are repositoried to the corresponding Maxis objects, Nightlife is required (except for the quaint barstool from the basegame). Any recolors you already have for these will work
[Edit: 05/01/2021] I forgot to mention that I have HugeLunatic's CEP-extra for the diner table and hipster barstool installed, so it may be required for the textures to display properly. I haven't gotten any complaints so far but in case anyone gets flashing blue objects, you can get it here
Alternatively, to turn any barstool - Maxis or custom - into a functioning dining chair, you can use the very nifty barstool OMSP by Honeywell, part of her island counter desk set . The downside of this is that the placement is a bit fiddly (details in the spoiler):
1 - place a table, and place the barstool OMSP facing it the same way you would place a chair
2 - place an island counter somewhere else, and place the barstool you want to use in front of it (an actual barstool, not my barstool-height chairs)
3 - switch to live mode, let the barstool tuck under the island and the OMSP under the table
4 - Back to buy mode, with moveobjects on, grab the barstool and place it on the OMSP.
5 - Delete the island, make the OMSP invisible using the swatch tool, and you're done!
Advantages of this method: you can use any barstool you like, Maxis or custom, in combination with the high-top tables. very versatile!
Downside: since this OMSP was made to be used with counters, the placement for dining tables is quite tedious, and not very convenient for builders who create unoccupied lots and cannot switch to live mode.

Many thanks to Honeywell for the barstool OMSP, and mustluvcatz for the barstool-height chairs, they had already done half of the work!
