Sims 4 Craft Brewing
In Sims 3 we had Nectar, which was basically the equivalent of wine. I loved that the sims team added this! I made a sim who owned a vineyard and grew her own grapes and developed them. She made all of her own Nectar and sold it. I had so much fun with this part of sims 3, I had generations of sims who helped grow this vineyard and ended up making some pretty spectacular, uh, "nectar."
Now I really would like to see the ability for sims to brew their own CRAFT BEER. Before I continue I want to preface with this; I have a huge passion for craft beer and admiration for those who brew it. I truly believe it's an art. I'm not talking about macro brewies, I'm talking about Craft Beer :)
In sims 4 we have juice... which mainly looks like sissy mixed drinks lol so maybe beer could be called.... Idk??? I mean, I'd always prefer it would be called beer but I know this game has to maintain it's teen rating ;) So what should beer be called?
I'd love if it were added as a skill and that you would also need the science skill (?) built up in order to make really good craft beer. Gardening skill is something that could be added to this as well! You could grow your own barley, malts, hops, and whatever else your little heart desires you add to the beer (ie - chocolate, pineapple, spices, peanut butter, fruit, veggies - yes, these ingredients are actually in real craft beer today and it's awesome).
And then, like with sims 3, these 3 skills (craft brewer, science, and gardening) could be part of some Vacation EP. Maybe our sims to go to Germany, Belgium (and then we could have Monks!), England, Ireland, Scotland... I mean, not all of these countries included in one EP, just maybe one or two lol. And in one of these countries they pick up some new craft beer, new ingredients, new techniques for brewing to make the "beer" better! (I know it won't actually be called beer in the game) As you increase in skill you can brew different beers; so you could start off brewing one of the technically easiest beers, a Hefeweissen. Then end with something like a triple barrel aged Eisbock... Idk if that's really even one of the hardest to brew, I'm just taking an educated guess.
It would also be a great addition for a Business EP because your sim could open up their own brewery!! How cool!!! Actually now that I think of it, the Business EP would be the best to add this to. You could turn your brewery into a brew pub! And then serve beer AND food, but the beer that your own sim made!! lol Maybe I'm the only one that's getting increasingly excited about this as I type :)
This is getting entirely longer than I ever thought lol. Anyway, we had nectar in sims 3, we have "juice" in sims 4. I think it's time we add beer (with a different name) to preferably a business EP and/or possibly a Vacation EP.
Thoughts? After my very long winded thread?
