Any ideas for improving the quality of popular mixes?

Hi my sim is practicing mixology skill. He already got Master of Mood title in skill journal. He learned 2 popular mixes from dance club. Whenever he makes them, the quality is only great or excellent. He can make outstanding and perfect mood drinks but how come he can only make great quality of popular mix? So far, he made 250 drinks and his mixology level is nearly 7.
I have other sims got all 5 titles in mixology skill journal but even they can make only excellent quality of popular mixes with better mixologist reward.

And another one is here. Is there a way the customers order any popular mixes instead of my sims' created drinks? They always order the exactly same drinks all the time while moonlighting in community lots. i wouldn't mind any mods if there is.

  • The only time my sims consistently make perfect quality drinks is when they have mastered the mixology skill.

    I don't know if there's a mod to have customers order different drinks but I usually have large households and when I have a sim learning mixology I send the whole family to the bar when they are moonlighting and have them order drinks. My sims learn new recipes more often this way.

    What quality was your sims' best popular mixes? I have other sims completed all titles in mixology skill challenge. Their best quality was 'Excellent'. Of course they learned almost of 50 type of popular mixes, created over 40 unique drinks as well. But I've never got outstanding or perfect.

    For ordering drinks, My other sims have learned almost 50 recipes except for the special drinks for specific occult like symbot, mummy, etc, they still have to make only specific their own unique drinks because other inactive human sims always order the same drinks over and over even though they know almost all type of drinks. This is annoying me.

    There's the easiest way to learn the popular mix. I place the sim who learned all recipes at home lot. Ask him to make popular mixes, then ask my main sim drinks them. She doesn't need to go moonlighting or visit other bars to learn them. She learns all recipes from his drinks at home.
  • @Jeansoo I usually only ever have one sim learn the mixology skill in a generation because I don't like to control my sims and mixology requires that I do that. When I did have sims learn mixology, I usually only had them work on mood drinks but I have, in years gone past, had them work on the popular mixes just to see what they were like. I remember that it sometimes took several attempts to get popular mixes to the perfect level but they did get there.
  • I forgot to mention that my sims are on normal lifespans so never completed all the challenges because, as stated earlier, I prefer to let my sims run free. Even so they did manage to make perfect popular mixes with some practice.
  • @Mikezumi My sims could be unlucky. They made a lot of popular mix, they have never had any even outstanding. Thanks for the help. :)
  • Does your sim have the Better Mixologist LTR? I forgot to mention that I always use that when I do have a mixologist sim.
