Expert Nectar Maker
This Sim wants to master the art of Nectar Making, honing their abilities to consistently craft only the best Nectars. They also want to make an absurd amount of Simoleons doing it.


The World Description
Spoiler
Chestnut Ridge
This community formed when several groups embraced their mutual connection to Horses and the land. The area soon became known as a hub for all things Equestrian: a town steeped in expertise with raising and training Horses, set against a beautiful and expansive landscape. Over time, the area became famous for another endeavor, as the rich soil brought in the new enterprise of Nectar Making. Thanks to the hard work of everyone involved, the region flourished and became the Chestnut Ridge it is today.


The Neighborhood Descriptions + Info
Spoiler
Galloping Gulch
Lauded as one of the go-to regions for Horse Riding, the Gulch is chockful of gorgeous trails and stunning outlooks.

    From various hypothetical implications from lilsimsie's livestream, embargo lifts Wednesday so only a day of it before release.

    hmmm....

  • Also, various hypotheticals include her stream schedule saying she's streaming early access footage on Wednesday (as in streaming past footage she got, not streaming it live). She's being as unsubtle as possible without going against whatever she's signed lol.
  • I've noticed that there has been silence from many YouTubers since the Livestream. Were they not allowed even to comment on that? For me, watching reaction videos is part of the hype. I'm finding it difficult to get even a little bit excited.

    Even if they are technically allowed to talk about it, I can imagine it would be extremely difficult to do a natural reaction to it if you know all the details. Doing commentary having to pretend you don't know things is very difficult, you can't question things, people would think you're hinting whenever you said anything, plus I'd imagine it would be so easy to accidentally let something slip. Just doesn't seem worth it really.

    Some youtubers have talked about it though. I know Iron Seagull, English Simmer and SatchOnSims have, plus probably more I don't follow. Not everyone gets early access, especially smaller creators, so they'll be chatting about it still.

    In the past they've done the embargo straight after the live stream which in my opinion is much better. Live stream hype right into new videos plus everyone can talk about it.
  • can the veterinary they do horse also? In pet's pack... or is it just they can just do dogs and cats?
  • Thank you @EgonVM for mentioning the General Store information which allows sims to shop for groceries and goods. I have been planning on using Somik and Severinka's mod to make a store in my game. This is something I have been wanting for a long time not just a market but a store for my sims to shop in. I hope that is how this works. Even it is is a rabbit hole I will at least take that and still make my own store.
  • Does anyone know when the embargo drops for the Game Changer videos? I'm looking forward to watching their videos about this pack.
  • Bison stew? Oh man, that sounds delicious. I don't even like stew but having it with bison instead of beef... hm...

    I love Chestnut Ridge! I was worried like a lot of people at the prospect of yet another desert, but it looks nice and different enough from the other ones.

    I've never been into horses so mostly don't care about this pack but the non-horse stuff likes nice.
