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. Due to the ratings of the Sims games, nectar is non-alcoholic. Even so, it cannot be consumed by children, in keeping with legal restriction on alcohol in many real countries.
History
Nectar was created by Anastasia Necteaux, who resided in Champs Les Sims France. Though Admiral Landgraab aided in the creation of nectar, Necteaux was instrumental in it. [citation needed]
The Sims
In The Sims: Makin' Magic, the Sim first drops grapes/elderberries and the other ingredients into the A Pressing Feeling nectar maker. After the Sim puts the ingredients in, the Sim then changes into his/her swimsuit and stomps the fruits while dancing around. After the Sim finishes stomping it, the Sim will pour the stomped nectar into a bottle and can sell it, or place it in their inventory. From there, it can be given as a gift or placed in the "Taste of the Vine Nectar Bar" for later use. When selling nectar, the price depends on the Sim's Cooking skill. For a Sim with maxed Cooking, nectar making can be quite profitable.
While nectar is treated as non-alcoholic with regard to Sims, enchanted garden gnomes who swim in the nectar press will get slightly tipsy. Apothecary Todd seems to have a liking for Elderberry Nectar.
The Sims 3
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 L'amour des Fruits Nectar Maker at the nectary. The three skill books for Nectar Making from level 1-10 are also available at Circle of Knowledge Bookstore in Champs Les Sims. Gardening is a must to make the best quality nectar since the quality of the Nectar depends on the quality of the fruits and the level of the Nectar Making skill.
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 nor through 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 quality, flavor and aging, which we will cover below.
Abilities
Level | Nectar type/Ability | Bottles | Effect |
---|---|---|---|
0 | Basic | - | |
4 | Concentrated | Higher quality | |
7 | Mass Produce | Lower quality | |
9 | Extended Nectaration | +15% quality and takes a little longer to produce |
Moodlets
Icon | Name | Effect | Duration | From | Description | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Sugar Rush | +15 Mood | 4 hours | Juice & Nectar | Filling up on sugary goodness makes everything more fun! | - | |
Astonishing Aroma Breathtaking Balance Commanding Complexity Fabulous Finish |
+5-30 Mood | 8 hours | Nectar | The flavors of the nectar are so vibrant with fruits that the tongue is practically overwhelmed. | Effect depends on quality of the nectar. | |
Awful Aroma Bitter Balance Crooked Complexity Foul Finish |
-5-30 Mood | 8 hours | Nectar | When nectar tastes that bad it should just be left in the bottle! | Effect depends on quality of the nectar. Sometimes a Sim will simply not like the nectar though. | |
Warm Fuzzies | +15 Mood | 5 hours | Nectar, Baked Angel Food Cake | Certain foods fill the body with a warm cozy feeling that's unlike anything else. | From nectar with at least 3 Flame fruits. | |
Full of Life | +50 Mood | 8 hours | Nectar | There's nothing that compares to feeling young and full of life again. | From nectar with at least 1 Life fruit. |
- Additionally nectar made with at least 6[1] Life Fruits will extend your Sims' life by 1 day.
Aging
To increase nectar value after production, it must be aged in a nectar rack, preferrable placed in a basement. The expensive The Necteaux will age your nectar faster than the cheaper Flavor Savor Nectar Rack. Contrary to the loading screen tip[2] it does not matter how deep in basements the nectar rack is placed, as long as it is a basement.[3][4]
Flavor
Taste is an important modifier when determining the value for nectar. It does not affect the moodlets a Sim will receive when drinking nectar. Share you recipes on the talk page.
