Did Maxis hint winemaking will return?

I don't see winemaking making it into this pack either. However I really hope sims can order drinks with their meals this time around. Otherwise that is a wasted opportunity on EA's part.

This.

A guru tweeted something about pizza a few days ago so there is speculation that there might a pizza oven with the new GP.

That would be awesome.

I'm just excited we get proper wine glasses :) I would love to see nectar-making back though!

Yes, I agree with this. It really feels a bit off they drink 'wine' from glasses like this.

I also regret it looks like water. Nectar making would make a great addition. And a fleshed out restaurant including that could actually tempt me into buying.

To me it doesn't look like wine but rather a dessert served from wine glass. You know, those fancy deconstructed cake-type desserts. Don't get me wrong, I would absolutely love to have wine/nectar making back in game, I just don't think it's going to happen in the next GP. :|

That would be so rad! I would love to build an Orchard again :relaxed:

Considering all GP's bring a new skill, nectar making is highly possible. Though I'm honestly not expecting anything skill wise. This pack doesn't necessarily need any new skills and it would be wise if they spent the resources on making sure the restaurants work properly. I'm just afraid they won't be as we/I expect. I also still have my doubts about running them but we'll see.

I'm hoping this brings the table toasting back from TS2 even if the glasses appear. Maybe we ll get the champagne bottles back as well that let then toast standing up

Don't you mean "nectar?" :wink:

Ugh. I had to download a mod to fix that in TS3. I always hated it.

I don't know if I foresee nectar/wine coming back in a GP. It would be nice, of course, but I'm thinking that pizza seems more likely. Of course it's anyone's guess at this point. I just think they would have shown a glimpse of something that big in the teaser.

Nectar is 'wine' isn't it :# The strangest thing there, is that you see him pouring something red and in the glas it suddenly looks like water. Sometimes I can't stand the political correctness in this game (because I think that's what makes them do such things). Can you give me a link for that mod? Because this actually is an immersion breaker for me. My nectar maker would definitely have drunk more of his own product had it looked any better.

@JoAnne65 : here you go. http://modthesims.info/d/528198

It replaces the glasses with ones from Late Night and changes the color of the liquid in the glass based on what kind of fruit you use. I love it. :smile:

Not sure how drinking wine is a hint to making it. We have had lots of things added to the game without making them added. Maybe we'd get nectar-making in a farming pack. That would be a good fit.
