Hot Take: Bars Are Appliances
Objects by Function > Appliances > Bars & Banquets
Consider moving Bars, Bar Backs, and Banquet Tables out of Activities & Skills and into Appliances for convenience and functionality.
Bars are an Appliance by reason of:
- Bars produce food and drink
- Sims dine at counter
- Mixology is a branch of the Culinary career track
- Bars produce dirty dishes
- Bars match countertops
- Bars fit in Kitchen and Dining environments
- Drink Trays are found in Appliances
Banquet Tables are an Appliance by reason of:
- Spawns prepared meals
- Produces dirty dishes
- Used for dining
- Drink Fountains are found in Appliances
Food Craft vs Creative Craft
Assuming the original intent of categorizing Mixology as a Creative Activity was because your Sim can “craft” a mixed drink. But the “craft” that is produced is consumable, which is more in-line with the Cooking activity.
Instead, consider limiting Creative Activities to creative arts, performing arts and arts & crafts.
Using the logic that objects which produce consumable crafts are Appliances could also be applied to the [ECO] Afizzionissimi Fizzing Station and the [HR] Rootin' Fruit'n Nectar Maker, making these objects appliances as well.
Thank you for considering my suggestions.
