Nectar yes or no? Did you persevere?

Kudos to all the very helpful people who researched and recorded the best recipes to produce good nectar - but really? So much effort? Keep werewolves, teach them to hunt, sit back and get rich. No effort involved if all you want is lots of simoleans.

There are a number of careers and wishes I've avoided because they were too much effort and I was too lazy or plain stupid to bother. Nectar making is now one of them. If you have to use other people's work to succeed it just doesn't feel the same as doing it by your own efforts. I still have a huge cellar full of wine as a result of industrious tomb raiding with my weres.

I've played with making nectar and enjoyed it. I didn't use other people's work in order to succeed at all - I let my nectar-making sim try out different fruit combinations, and when a good recipe turned out to be good, I would repeat it. My sim's skill level did help with the quality of the nectar, as did the sort and quality of the fruit, having a handy sim upgrade the machines, and having a cellar with the expensive nectar shelves. I had fun with all this precisely because it was so complex, with so many factors involved. But in that save I wasn't looking for a fast way to make money - I agree there are better ways to do that!
