I am so excited for Seasons to come out next month but once again, I am greatly disappointed that nectar making is not returning. I have been voting for it in polls and leaving comments for it for years now. It's the one thing I miss from the Sims 3. I used to love to have my sims mix combinations and see the bottles age over time, with my vampire sims having the best nectar in town.They are bringing so much attention to gardening with Seasons, it seems that this would be the time to add nectar making but they went with collecting honey. I am excited for the idea to collect honey, but it would not have been my first choice. Now I am not sure what kind of expansion or game pack in the future would be suitable for the return of nectar making. I'm excited for Seasons but a bit sad.

We almost had it at one point! But laundry beat it out! :D

I think just like most of the other things it will come. I can see a trip to "Italy" (maybe) or even a pack with nectar making and or jelly/jam making included. I can see vineyards for sure.. all the rows in a field and some tuscan looking decor and build/buy items. I just think a lot is coming eventually and they can't do it all at once so they put it in places that it can make more sense and have more focus. Beekeeping for instance was put in this pack.. it is a smaller hobby but it fits in well.. you can't build a larger pack around it easily though. I'm pretty sure they know we want these things though. I'm not disappointed just patient and enjoying it as it comes.I do hope when nectar making does come we get to stomp the heck outta those babies as part of the process.

I would like to see nectar making return too. This pack could have been an interesting place with the focus on gardening, but who knows what's coming in the future... Nectar making could also fit in the highly requested farming pack or in a vacation pack. I am confident that it will return at some point. Honey making is already a very nice addition and I can't wait to try that out. Also, Sims can make flower arrangements again, which is also a very nice activity I am looking forward to."Sigma4life;c-16491216" wrote:I remember making nectar and jam on the questionnaire when they asked the fans what kind of game pack they wanted, I personally do not remember it saying anything about honey.

So I think that they are listening and maybe that is the reason we aren't getting nectar making right now.

@Hermitgirl I like your idea of an Italy themed pack that would bring it back. It sounds interesting and beautiful.

I really would love this too, I have a Vineyard, and Orchard, farm already set up.

I really want to build a winery and Brewery, and I have just the Sims to do it. couple of Irish folk.
You should be able to Bottle, and Barrel it, Name your craft, Store it let it age, and If you want sell it to Restaurants and Retailers.

Also it should be required to have at least 10 clusters of Grapes in the sim's inventory to craft a bottle of wine.

Yes, please bring nectar making back. Maybe with an Off-the-Grid gamepack?

Or maybe it'll be in a Hobbies pack or something?

I would really like an an off-the-grid pack. I would love if my sims could reduce their bills by using solar, having a well, and growing more of their own food. I could see how nectar making could be more off-the-grid, by not having a bar in the house and having to make their own.

I also like @paradiseplanet idea as well of a hobbies pack. That sounds like it would have a lot of potential for fun and maybe random ideas that are on several sim fan lists at the moment.

Great suggestions guys!

I know this post is now 2 years old, but there seems to be nectar in Eco Lifestyle!

It's fizzy drinks, not nectar.

It looks basically like the same exact thing. Of course we need to know the details but if you look at the background in the trailer the machine looks VERY SIMILAR to the nectar making device that came with Sims 3. :)
