New functional tea set coming to the sims 4 via weddings pack

I really hope they remember to make the tea sets functional off-grid. There's still a ton of stuff in the game that should be functional off-grid and isn't. Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure candles and lanterns and teapots don't require electricity. :|

Depends on how you boil the water, I suppose. ;) I too hope this item will be available off the grid.

The drinks tray works off the grid probably has the same functionality @Atreya33

I am looking forward to actually brewing tea in the game, instead of the tea machine we have now. Weddings sound fun for once or twice but a functional tea pot sounds like something I might end up using a lot. My spellcasters will definitely enjoy a nice cup of real tea.

Let's hope we can get the same kinds of tea as we can get with the tea machine because I like the green tea with it's +2 happy moodlet.

Varieties of teas connected to the tea set (put in spoiler in case you prefer to find out later):

Thank you so very much @Greyling. I was too lazy to find it in the livestream again and pause so I could read them all.

I spot 2 new types of tea in that list that the current tea maker can't make (plus the one Juice that the current tea maker can't make). But it's also missing several varieties that the current tea-maker can make.

At least one of those "missing" varieties takes a skill to be unlocked, and another requires you have honey in the refrigerator or sim inventory, so maybe the new serving set can actually make those but we didn't see them due to the sim not having the requisite .

For anyone who doesn't want to look at the spoilers to see which teas are missing, the missing ones are Bee Tea, Lemon Honey Ginger Detox and Steamy Ginseng.

You’re welcome ?

I’m pretty sure I’ve actually seen the cozy apple juice as being available on my sim’s tea maker on occasion although it doesn’t show up all the time. I haven’t played that save in a while, though, so I can’t remember what triggers it.

And I think you’re probably right about missing ingredients and skills in terms of some of the missing types of tea.

You're right! The cozy apple juice shows up during some holiday, now that you've mentioned it.
I totally forgot, because that holiday only comes around once every 16 sim weeks in my game. I don't even remember what holiday it shows up during, but I do recall having seen it now.
I think it's Winterfest.

That basically means all 3 of the 4 "missing" teas/drinks are tied to some other trigger, which explains why they are missing. The Gingseng may be the same, I honestly don't know for sure. I just know all my Sim households can make it on the electric one

I'm very excited that they are adding 2 new teas, personally. I freaking <3 tea. You really did make my night by sharing the details on the available types.

I too am looking forward to.

My Sims already drink a lot of tea, using the Electric Tea Maker appliance that is already in the game, but I've always wanted an actual tea serving set for it instead so I am also very excited for it to come in the pack. Also looking forward to not having the repair the darn tea maker all the time anymore...that thing breaks so often and doesn't even have an upgrade to make it break less.

I will say, however, that I was pretty disappointed in the animations for the Tea Set that we saw in LiveStream. They could have done so much better. :(

The drinking tea animation seemed fine. Do you mean how they pick it up and put it down 6 feet away from the table? Is it that much to animate them getting close and picking it up? Lol
I know sims 4 are known for incomplete animations so I'm pretty forgiving but I thought that was ridiculous! 6 feet away!!! Lol ?

@Babykittyjade Ahahahaha :joy: omg I can't stop laughing at your comment :joy: ... What do you mean? Is that not how you pour tea in your home? The trick is to toss the pot and teacups gently towards the tray, so they don't break. This what I do:

Wasn't there an option also for peppermint tea?
