Omg I was soo excited for this, really wanted this item after having the tea set table from the sims 3 store, I think the weddings and cottage living items compliment each other, yes I did wrote a discussion for a tea set but I'm soo happy, my vampires will be drinking a pot of tea lol

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 to have my sims 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 serving with the Tea Set that we saw in the LiveStream. They could have done so much better.
Gawds, I hope so too! Was one of the first things that went through my mind when I heard we were getting the tea sets.
I'm sure modders will do conversions that make them functional if Maxis doesn't, but it would be better if they did it themselves.

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.
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 😆
But I agree with you that the game does a lot of that. What's weird is it also has some other things which have the best animations I could imagine. I don't understand how they decide what gets good attention and what gets quicky jobs.

Oh yeah the serving part..... would have loved to see them properly fill the cups....😒
Yah, there are definitely some new teas in the list. My Sims all drink a LOT of tea, so I'm pretty familiar with all of the teas that the game has right now. The menu went by too fast for me to see if all the existing teas were available on the tray or not, all I saw was ones I know for sure are new. (And I was too lazy to pause and go back to read them all).
The tea should work the same as all the drinks we have right now in the game, where you can direct a sim to sit if they don't do it automatically. I always have my sims drink and eat at the same time, by having them pick up a meal (rather than grab, pick up puts it in inventory), grab a drink, and then sit down. I then pull the plate out of their inventory and set it on the table in front of them to be eaten, if they don't do it automatically; they do it automatically only if they are really, really hungry.

I hope Maxis does it, and while they are updating stuff, they should totally update the decorative champagne bucket and stack of bottles with the toasting functionality too.

Depends on how you boil the water, I suppose.
Varieties of teas connected to the tea set (put in spoiler in case you prefer to find out later):
Cozy Apple Juice
Earl Grey
Healthy Green Tea
Orange Blossom
Pitch Black
Run Oolong
Black Dragon
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

@Babykittyjade Ahahahaha
Wasn't there an option also for peppermint tea?
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
