Brewery GP concept

The pack will be focused in both "mead" (knowed in real life as ale or beer) and nectar making and other coulinary items, recipes and crops.

While nectar making will use the BG and other packs fruits, new grain crops will be introduced for mead making:
-Corn
-Barley
-Oat
-Rye

All grains crops seeds will be selled with a dedicated seed pack.

Sims can produce both mead and nectar with the same machine. They can offer to another Sims their products based in the flavors of each Sim likes, based in their likes and dislikes or just random chooses.

Grain crops can be used for bake, including the new recipes for the new pizza oven.

New functional items:

Mead/nectar maker: Machine needed to produce mead or nectar.
Mead/nectar maker (off the grid): : will be based in TS Freeplay, a wooden maded item to produce mead or nectar without power.
Juice squeezer: Appliance to squeeze fruits and prepare natural juice. Also included as BG update.
Pizza oven: Off the grid appliance to cook pizza, bread and other recipes.
Butter churner: Off the grid appliance to make homemade butter. It will include a new option to order raw milk (cow, goat and sheep milk)
Grain planter: a grounded planter, special for grains crops.
Composting bin: a bin used to recycle organic scraps like fishes, pet poop, crops, manure and leaves to produce fertilizer. Also included as BG update.
Mediterranean clutter stuff: oil, garlic, herbs, sausages
Winery and brewery clutter stuff: bottles, glasses, barrels, stein

No new world :(

But, if a new world is included, a Italy based one can be a good choice to fit the elements of the pack.

Compatibility with other packs:

Seasons:
-Sims can add honey to increase the quality of mead
-Raked leaves can be added to the composting bin

Eco Lifestyle
-Sims can use the water from the dew collector to increase the quality of both mead and nectar.
-Sims can feed the bug farm with composting items instead spending $5 in bug food.

Cottage Living
-Sims can made nectar from watermelons
-Sims can add cows milk to the butter churner.

BG Update

Both the composting bin and the juice squeezer will be released as BG update.



  • I'd really like this. Adding the pizza oven, juicer, compost bin, and churn all at once might be a bit of a stretch (plus a little off topic), but I especially want nectarology back and I would love any new culinary apparatuses.

    I would totally buy this, love the idea. The only negative for me would be no world.

    I think the inclusion of a Italy based world would round out the pack well.
  • Yeah I would go for it if the Italian based world (Preferably Tuscany area) was in it. A nice 1 Neighborhood, a 64x64 lot presiding on top of those rolling hills, 3-4 other lots surrounding it. it would be perfect.

    I want mass harvesting and production to be worth it tho.
    Like the Wine & Beer should require a stack of 50+ Grapes, from sim's inventory, to produce x1 Barrel of Wine and 50+ Grain to produce x1 Barrel of Beer

    You could use other Fruit, and Additives to make different flavors

    Barrels containing Wine/Beer can be:
    Named
    Tapped
    Bottled
    Stored
    Sold

    I just want to have awesome wine cellars and have my sims call their friends over and host tastings.

    Also I think it would be really cool in build/buy mode if there could be a Keg/Barrel, secret passage, door type that matched the other barrels.

    Thats why I added the composting bin and the juice squeezer as BG update, so it doesnt count. The pizza oven and the churner can fit somehow
  • I think this would fit great in a destination pack (Italian as mentioned above). I would love to see some effects of the nectar / mead (like with the fizzy jouice that can make you dazed of you drink to much of it. Maybe some consequences the day after like a Sims version of a hungover). They could be some alco free options that kids / teens could drink.
  • They can also add the ability to make real plant milk with the oat, and add a diet section to CAS. They could use the likes / dislikes system and have options like vegan, vegetarian, no pork, no dairy, no drinking (just jouice and alco free options) and Favorite foods & Favorite drinks.

    They could also add the Mead / Nectar fanatic as a lifestyle (we have a similar thing as a fame perk in Get Famous EP).
  • @Mak27 I thought that fizzy juice thing in eco L was a brewery for beer life beverages like nectar making in ts3 was really wine making
