Something that's been bothering me for some time - refrigerators

Or, more properly, the number of sets with kitchens that hav cook tops or ranges, sinks, the occasional microwave - but no refrigerator; in many cases, no place in the floor plan to add one from another set.

Why? I can understand it when space is constrained and shopping is only a block or two away. But I know someone with a 350 square foot Manhattan studio apartment that includes a stacked washer/dryer, a standard refrigerator, four element range with microwave vent hood and a standard size dishwasher all along the end wall.

Admittedly, I live in the US, and about the only places without refrigerators are tents. For off-grid, campers, RVs, and the Amish there are highly efficient propane refrigerators that don't reqire electricity. In my case, the 'corner gocery store' is a bit over four miles away - 20 minutes by car.

I just picked up the FG One Bed Apartment - perfect for my use except the missing refrigerator. But at least there's a space for one - eliminate the trash can on the left of the counter and the Left Swing Fridge from the C3D Appliances set (sku 57143, no longer in tthe store) fits perfectly.

    I must be buying different sets because I have fridges, just fitting the food in the challenge (but am up for it)

    out of curiousity I took a quick look in the DAZ duf format library,

    there is literally a tent with a fridge too

    Poser  formats would be many more then there's the Renderosity library ...

    And if they're built-in to match the cupboards, they don't look like fridges either, just another under-worktop cupboard.

    True. But very few residences in the US have a primary refrigerator that small. College dorm rooms, family room wet bars and equvilant spaces may have one as a secondary fridge, but the main fridge in the kitchen has been tending larger, not smaller for a number of years now. I give a pass to the environments that have a tall cabinet, as the other trend over the years has been making the fridge look like a pantry cabinet or shelving system.
