This just made me think of the bees from Seasons (?). We could make mead.
You can't even make a smoothie without a mod.
Buy if we get nectar, and it seems we will. With cross pack integration, that would probably be really easy to add in. Either as like a small object that shows up/only works if you have bees. Or, as is more likely, a kit.
I'd love to make mead ^_^ It would work perfectly in medieval saves.
As for kits... I pretty much refuse to buy kits bc I feel that they're a major cash grab and overpriced. But I find it frustrating that we don't have smoothies and milkshakes yet - if milkshakes came in a gameplay kit, I'd probably get it. But they shouldn't be in kits if they were obviously initially part of a pack but sold separately for more money. Ex, if we can make nectar in Horse Ranch but need to buy a kit to make whiskey.
A few years ago when we could vote for the stuff pack that ended up being Laundry Day, one of the options was health-focused and included smoothies. I'm not sure if a smoothie maker machine and a bunch of recipes would be too much for a kit, since kits usually just have a few items and all the different smootjie flavours are technically items (debug). But if you ship it with JUST the smoothie machine, people would probably be upset at how it looks like you just get one item. You'd need at least three decor items to make it not look empty. I never thought I'd say it, but I actually miss stuff packs. There's much more room for niche themes in it, and for actual gameplay.
If I could create my own stuff pack at this stage, I'd probably make one centered around birthday parties, especially for children. Milkshakes, party hats (equip from live mode), balloons and banners, more birthday cake candle-topper combos (pirates, castle, princess, sea monster, bees, bunnies, etc etc)... Maybe a bouncy house, pin the tail on the llama game, pinata game, musical chairs, pass the parcel... It would help if we had more games that kids can play together - tag, hopscotch, jump rope, tea parties, that fortune teller folded paper thing - though I think those should be patched into Growing Together or basegame. A sash (equip from live mode) can be very multi-purpose for a variety of parties. Adult parties, of course, would benefit from nectar and sparkling nectar popping :)
