(→Trivia: planting is not required and harvested/squished grapes don't have to be the same - sims A could equally turn 400 fresh grapes (harvested by B) into nectar, harvest 400 more afterwards and it'll still count!) |

[[File:W nectarmaking career.png|left]]'''Nectar making''' is an activity in ''[[The Sims: Makin' Magic]]'' and a [[skill]] in ''[[The Sims 3 World Adventures]]'' that allows Sims to make nectar, the equivalent of wine in [[The Sims (series)|The Sims]]. It is not specified whether or not the nectar is alcoholic. Even so, it cannot be consumed by children, in keeping with legal restriction on alcohol in many real countries. Nectar is also the drink of the gods in Greek mythology,<ref>Wikipedia article, 2014-12-31 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nectar#Etymology</ref> and
With ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]'' expansion pack, players can register as a [[Skill career|self-employed]] nectar-maker.

In order to get started, visit [[Champs Les Sims]]. There's an [[adventure]] which introduces the player to Nectar Making, but it is also possible to get started right away by purchasing a [[Nectar Maker|L'amour des Fruits Nectar Maker]] at the [[nectary]]. The three [[skill book]]s for Nectar Making from level 1-10 are also available at [[Circle of Knowledge Bookstore]] in Champs Les Sims. [[Gardening (The Sims 3)|Gardening]] is a must to make the best nectar since the quality depends heavily on the fruit used as ingredients.
It's important to distinguish between making nectar for Sims to drink or for selling. The best nectar for drinking would be one made from perfect fruits only and fulfill all of the moodlet requirements below. Nectar does not become better for Sims to drink through aging or flavor, and Sims do not benefit from drinking very old or expensive nectar (aside from the wish to drink expensive nectar). If made for selling, there's more to it than just perfect ingredients. The final value of nectar is subject to ingredient quality, ingredient rarity, skill level, flavor and aging.
In ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]'' it is possible to register as a [[Skill career|self-employed nectar maker]].

===Aging===
To increase nectar value after production, it must be aged in a nectar rack, preferably placed in a basement. The expensive [[Nectar Racks#The Necteaux|Necteaux rack]] will age nectar faster than the cheaper [[Nectar Racks#Flavor Savor Nectar Rack|Flavor Savor Nectar Rack]]. Contrary to the loading screen tip<ref>The Sims 3 loading screen tip: ''"The finest Nectar is aged on racks placed deep within basements"''</ref> it does not matter how deep in basements the nectar rack is placed, as long as it is a basement.<ref>There is a function in the game files for this, but it does not appear to be working as of 13th Dec 2009 as tested by ''Goldhorizon'' at [

*To complete The Vizard of Vine challenge, your Sim doesn't only have to turn 400 harvested grapes (base game ones don't count due to a typo) into homemade nectar. The challenge also requires the Sim to harvest 400 (other) grapes themselves.
*Travelling will reset Number of different combinations (and the Mix Master challenge) if Number of Sims served is still listed as 0.
*Nectar can be purchased from [[consignment store]]s.{{Vgversion|TS3A}}
