Share Your Nectar Making Recipes

[Esther1981]

I can't get to the island in the river! My Sim just refuses to go. Any ideas?

The place to go in France for the little Island is called Faerie Tomb----Little Wood and Faerie Tomb----Eastern Watch.

Well, I started messing around with combos including 1 Life Fruit and 3 Flame Fruit. I'm supposed to be a "Mix Master," so I tried checking the predictions. Most of them have been "won't go well together" or "not bad, but there are better combinations." I'm trying to make the ones that are supposed to "go well together." The first one I did, though, with 6 Plum, came up with a message as it finished being pressed or fermented or whatever that it was terrible! I drank some anyway, just for the heck of it, and I did get all 4 moodlets: +50 Full of Life; +25 Commanding Complexity; +15 Warm Fuzzies; and +15 Sugar Rush.

So, since I certainly don't need the §imoleons, I guess I'll just combine the 1 Life Fruit, 3 Flame Fruit & whatever else I have the most of.

Question for anyone who may have dabbled in this more then I have had a chance to thus far.  I get random wants that appear for making Nectar with different ingredients, some of which are not fruits.  Examples I've run into are make nectar with lettuce and make nectar with garlic.

Is there some way to unlock the ability of using non-fruit produce in the nectaring process or is this a bug?

EDIT:

I can only imagine them wanting to make nectar with those ingredients is a bug where they forgot to exclude those types. I can't drag garlic or potatoes into the maker even if it's the first item. Nothing 'vegetable' works. It's good they added the rare grapes to give us something with that rarity level to work with.

So I guess I should have just read more of the forum material...  I'll keep the post up just incase anyone is as impatient as I was in terms of not syphoning through the available information first

Hello,

I wanted to thank you for the all tips posted and I wanted to share a successful recipe I found. 2 cherries plus 8 flame fruit creates an Amazing nectar. My level 10 sim has made a batch worth 399 per bottle. She used perfect flame fruit, but cherries were only "nice".  So, I think it is room for improvement. Good luck.

Hi Laura,

I just tried your recipe using perfect Flame Fruit and perfect Cherries and mine was worth $449 per bottle!  So yes, there was definitely room for improvement!    Great combo!!  Thank you!

I don't think I saw any at all in egypt, I was looking for cherries. I still don't have them to try in combinations. The food vendor in the city was gone for all of 3 days 1 trip, and 3 days another trip. I didn't let it go past 3. Very annoying.

As soon when I find a cherrie in someone's trashcan in Egypt (which was of horible quality) the store also begon to sell them. The quality there was normal/ nice (don't quite sure how the English term is) and from that one I was able to grow better ones.
So If you didn't find any, look in someone's trashcan to 'unlock' it in the store.
Hope this helps.

Came across 2 Great recipes I haven't seen posted any where:
6 Plums + 3 Gralladina Fran Grapes + 1 Avornalino Grape
9 Regular Grapes + 1 Pomelo

I can see the viability of the second one here as an alternative option to the 5apple 5renoit for starting out, as you'll also be working toward getting a perfect pomelo (5th highest base value on the ingredient list) while creating it to get your nectaring skill up and maintaining a relatively equal value wine (70.3 base value * Great modifier for this recipe vs 72 base value * Amazing modifier on the apple-renoit combo).

I'm still fooling around looking for my first original amazing combination, I'll report back in with any further recipes I come across.  This is quite simply the most interesting thing in the expansion, and all of its complexities must be explored!  Lets continue working outside the box and get this complex system analyzed!

Keep your eyes peeled on this thread, I'm about 1 week away from posting a massive wall of text that will help everyone out.  Still finishing the data, and I'm trying to mathematically relate the information to see if there is a way to predict amazing combinations that are unusual.  If anyone comes across more amazing combinations outside of the ones posted thusfar, please post them as it may help me in my attempts to crack the code behind this!  (I'm a mathematician; I know someone better in programming may be able to just crack the game code to find this stuff out but I'm trying to do it old-school)
