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

My heart sank when I saw the serving animation in the livestream. Yes it's not unusual for this game to have animations like that and I can understand it, but it still wasn't what I had dreamt of. Oh well, I'm still looking forward to having the tea sets in my game :smile:

To be fair, I think it was just because the Sim walked over and happened to be standing on the long side of the coffee table. I'm sure if he is on the couch or directly in front, or if the set is on a dining table or kitchen counter, he will be much closer to it haha. Maybe it will be better on the small, round table. I'm really excited for the tea set as well. I love how we are getting two different types and they both look so pretty.

yeah i mean at least he wouldn't need to yeet the cup so far that it would be bothersome to look at if they can sit at table and use tea thingy on that table :lol: hoping it works with the low tables from SE so my sims tea rooms could actually be used to sip tea

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:

It looks funny, because he was standing. Had he been seated, it would have looked more natural. I really hope they can sit and sip tea at a table like one would normally do. Now I see that there was a bench right next to the tea tray, yet he chose to drink his tea on the barstool in the kitchen. There is not much hope for delicate tea drinking while eating crumpets.

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):

Spoiler

Calming Chamomile
Cozy Apple Juice
Earl Grey
Healthy Green Tea
Orange Blossom
Pitch Black
Run Oolong
Black Dragon

Thank you for the list. I wasn't able to catch the livestream, just read a summary. I actually want to try out the pack first before watching it, if I still feel like it after playing. But the tea is the one thing I want to know the details. I love drinking tea in real life and so do my sims.

I was just saying to myself I had to go CC shopping for a functional Tea Set and literally day later it was confirmed to come with the pack :)

I'm so happy that my sims won't need the boring regular Teamaker. The new Tea set is so pretty & useful.

I wish the guru had guided the sim to sit on the bench. It will be interesting to see how tea parties will work out, though if sims are in a group it should be possible to guide them to sit in the right place.

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.

Wasn't there an option also for peppermint tea?

I don't remember ever seeing it, but I wish they would add it, my sims would drink it all the time.
