Nectar Making

A Sim squishing fruit as part of the nectar making process in The Sims 3.

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 inThe 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, and could be consumed in small amounts by gods and demigods, but would burn
mortals.
With The Sims 3: Ambitions expansion pack, players can register as a self-employed nectar-maker.

History

Edit

Nectar was created by Jean Necteaux over 6,000 years ago.[1] He resided in Champs Les Sims,
France. His alleged descendant Anastasia Necteaux and Admiral Landgraab presumably had a part
to play in the creation as well.[2]

The Sims

Edit

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/herswimsuit 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'sCooking skill. For a Sim with maxed Cooking, nectar
making can be quite profitable.
While nectar is not specifically said to be alcoholic, enchanted garden gnomes who swim in the
nectar press will get slightly tipsy. Apothecary Todd seems to have a liking for Elderberry Nectar.

L'amour des Fruits Nectar Maker

The wonderful nectar making machine.

In order to get started, visit Champs Les Sims. There's anadventure 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 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 self-employed nectar maker. In The Sims 3:
Late Night, plasma fruit can be used to make nectar; nectar containing any plasma fruit will cause
non-vampires to vomit but will fill the thirst of vampires.

To stock a cellar with nectar for drinking purposes first, 'Mass Production' is the ability to use. The
decrease in quality is negligible and the extra bottles will help towards the 'Master of Nectar

Edit

To increase nectar value after production, it must be aged in a nectar rack, preferably placed in a
basement. The expensive Necteaux rack will age nectar faster than the cheaper Flavor Savor Nectar
Rack. Contrary to the loading screen tip[3] it does not matter how deep in basements the nectar rack
is placed, as long as it is a basement.[4][5] Nectar gains roughly 10% in value per day.

Flavor

Edit

Nectar made with at least 3 Flame fruit.

Taste is an important modifier when determining the value for nectar. It does not affect the moodlets
a Sim will receive when drinking nectar. When a new batch of nectar is ready, a popup will tell the
player how good (or bad) the flavor is. Each fruit has a base flavor value [6] (Life fruit being the
highest) which is subject to flavor combinations. It's better to start out with the 'special' rarity fruit and
experiment from there. Luckily, the Sims community has shared the recipes they've discovered to
have an 'Amazing' flavor. All the recipes below have been verified by The Sims Wiki users. The
reason some of these amazing nectar recipes have low value is that their ingredients are less rare.
Their flavor may be amazing, but for better results, use higher rarity fruit.
