      VII. NECTAR ADDICTION

      – NECTAR DRINKING BUFFS

      Drinking glasses of nectar gives different levels of buffs depending upon the no. of glasses drunk and how quickly the nectar is consumed. Each buff will be accompanied by various effects on sims’s motives and push them to do certain social interactions.
      • Pleasantly Buzzed ( +2 Happy, 2 sim hours)
      • Tipsy ( +2 Confident, 3 sim hours)
      • Drunk ( +3 Energized, 4 sim hours )
      • Sloshed ( +5 Dazed, 5 sim hours)

        To get fully sloshed, the sim has to drink 4 glasses of nectar back to back.

        – NECTARISM/NECTAR ADDICTION

        • After sufficient nectar drinking, the sim can experience some occasional craving buffs.
        • Nectar Addiction can be removed by clicking ‘Quit nectar Addiction‘ on the sim.
        • After quitting addiction, the addiction statistic resets
        • Becoming addicted is a very slow process and the sim would not see any effects unless they drink nectar all the time.( may not see during normal gameplay)

        VIII. VAMPIRES

        • Vampires can drink Plasma nectar and Blood Mary Nectar
        • Fills Vampire thirst
        • Adds buff Vampiric sustenance (+2 Happy, 2 sim hours)
        Will add other occult specific nectars in the future

        IX. SOCIAL INTERACTIONS

        1. Share Nectar Making Secrets (under Friendly)
        2. Joke About Nectar (Under Funny)

        3. Has Custom Club Activity
        4. Two new holiday Traditions 

        • Drinking nectar
        • Nectar Crafting


        X. Compatibility with Custom drink interaction Mod


        If you have the Custom drink interaction on MTS, then the nectar glasses will appear on the professional Bar menu under ‘Make Custom drinks‘ and ‘Buy Custom drinks‘ Interaction

        XI. Issues

        1. Nectar Maker Requires a base to be placed
        2. 🚩🚫Cannot be placed in a room with a ceiling. Turn on move objects (bb.moveobjects) to be able to place it indoors. 
        3. Interrupting the nectar making process may produce errors
        4. The empty glass from catalogue may crash the game. DO NOT CLICK IT.
        5. The sims require seating to drink the nectar. ( Will look into this more)
        6. After pouring nectar into glass while using a bar, the sim would either drink ( can be cancelled) or put down the nectar bottle. This nectar bottle is as good as new and will have the relevant interactions.
        7. The pouring animation for nectar making lacks a prop atm. I will try to add a prop in the future.
        8. The recolouring presets are a bit higher above the mesh. Zoom out when using the design tool.

        XII. REQUIREMENTS

        A. HARVESTABLES – 

        If you do not have the harvestables installed, the nectar will just show no ingredient requirement. 

        The harvestables are NOT MANDATORY for the mod. The nectars can still be made, but the nectars will lack ingredients required.


        1. Olive
        2. Peach
        5. Corn 
        12. Yam
        14. Orange
        16. Thyme

        B. Custom drink interaction on MTS

        ( See Compatibility with custom drink interactions above for more info)


        XIII. POLYCOUNTS

        1. Nectar Maker – 3480v/3027p ( same as the sims 3 counterpart)

        3. Love the mod so far! Only thing that i have noticed is your sims has to have a place to sit down to be able to drink the nectar. Also if you buy the empty nectar glass in the catalog and click on it, it will crash your game. Was also wondering if theres a way to make this compatible with the drunk package of basemental? Other than those the mod is solid and will be using it a lot! Thanks Mun Mun!

        4. What do you get on searching for 'Nectar' ? It is called 'NectarMaker Placement' Try searching after turning on debug. If you cannot find it even then, I will upload the placement marker separately.

        8. i love this mod like all your mod , the only think , the sims can not drink standing, I did not have a chair nearby, and they waved their arms in all directions, I still thought of a problem with my game, but fortunately I read the comments of others person and I saw that he needed chairs, sofas but it was impossible to drink standing and the empty glass block the game.Only that allis perfect. take care of you never forget. 😉

        9. I wanted to let you know that after play testing your nectar maker on my sim farm , that I am really impressed! The buffs are so fun and perfectly match the amount of drunkness 🙂 I have not come across any problems or bugs , and even had the idea to create a wine tasting table specifically made for your nectar maker 😀 ! Again ty so much for all of your hard work! I had a request for the nectar maker. I was wondering if you would be able to make a trait for this , maybe called (Nectar lover)? I would love to have This trait , so that my sim is more inclined to show off his nectar making skills and maybe a few sad buffs if your sim does not make any nectar for a while. You could also make a (nectar Crazy trait) a sim who is addicted to the nectar and over drinks it , more than they profit or enjoy making it! Just a couple of thoughts to make this even more amazing!
