  2.  Then waits for processing of the bottle.

      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.

        – 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

        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.

By any chance, are you going to update this and the Canning Mod once the “Eco Living EP” will be out this june? Heard that, that EP is going to include nectars, preserves, and new harvestables! Would really like to know your take on that. 😀

Regardless of whatever comes, I am going to play around with the new systems and add new stuff to it for sure!

One simguru replied vaguely about it and I instantly thought they would really be putting those in. If they do, I'm pretty dang sure you'd make mods for those and of course I'd be downloading all of them ❤

        16. Hi again! I was the one who reported the Cabbage Rolls error. I'm also getting one pointing to the Nectar Making mod. When I try to add a buff via MCCC, it throws up this error and records it in MCCC's log. [Jun-10-2020 13:53:08]An error has occurred when trying to add a buff to the buff dialog: [Jun-10-2020 13:53:08]This is almost always because there is a mod that is altering a Sims 4 buff or adding this as a custom buff that is out of date.

        18. Just a mourning buff. It happens right when I go into that option in MCCC, before I can even select a buff. So basically, I navigate to the “Add Buff” option via MCCC's settings, click on it, then the error shows up. I can click it away and select any buff as normal, but it happens every time I go to that Add Buff option.

No errors or anything, just an “obsession” with making nectar drinks. I have to keep clicking it off. In one game (where my sims are not making nectar), I finally deleted the bar cause it was so bad. Any ideas why?

        23. Hello, I am really enjoying this mod, however, I too am having the issue of the nectar maker keeps disappearing. This happens especially on community lots. I can place it and use it. When I re-enter the lot, it has always disappeared. I have to rebuy it every time. Of course, in build mode on a community lot it isn't directly costing my sim. I do also have it on residential lots and it only disappears occasionally. I do not receive any LE's and I have also tried removing all mods except this one and it still happens. Is it not meant for community lot use? I can work around it, but it is quite puzzling.

        26. This mod is amazing! Although, I've noticed a few bugs in the current build so far: The Sauvignon Blanc bottle, when opened, gives Blackberry nectar, and I am also unable to open bottles of Ebony Arbor. The Sauvignon also doesn't appear as an option to add to restaurant menus. I haven't tested opening a lot of bottles, so there may be others that don't open as well. Again, I love this mod! Thank you so much for making it!
