Nectar Ingredients

I am having an issue with wishes and nectar making. My Sim wants to use Bell Peppers and Garlic to make nectar, but the game won't let me put those in the Nectar Maker. Is there another requirement I need to meet first? My Sim is at level 10 for Nectar making, so I can't learn any more, but I haven't completed some of the challenges in the skill journal yet, does that make a difference?

I'm wondering if this is a bug, or if it's actually possible to put veggies in the Nectar machine.

    Well, I don't have the game yet so I couldn't say, but it could be like gardening where you can't plant certain plants (eggplant, cheese plant, ect.) until a challenge?

    My sim had this happen, too. My guess is that you can only make nectar with fruits, which makes sense, and that the wishes to put vegetables in the nectar are just tiny glitches.

    I know you have to have a certain amount in order to make nectar. 10 I think? I'm not sure if that is 10 of each ingredient or 10 total. Also, don't you also have to include grapes in each recipe? I'm not sure on that one. I'm thinking the Prima Guide might be worth buying for this EP!

    You can only use fruits to make nectar....NO Vegetables. Think of it as wine. You wouldn't have garlic wine or bell pepper wine, right?

    No, you do not have to use grapes if you don't want to.

    It takes 10 total fruits...but you can mix and match whatever you want as long as it adds up to 10. Example: You can use 3 watermelon, 3 lime and 4 life fruit...or you could use 2 life fruit, 2 plums, 2 cherries and 3 lime...and so on. Again, just so it adds up to 10.

    I love making nectar! It's a lot of fun coming up with unique combinations! The possibilities are endless :D

    you have to drag the piece of fruit to a blank spot in the open box or it will pop back out....it took me a while to figure this out....hope this helps

    You have to click on the "bin" and click "add fruit" and a small window pops open. You then drop and drag the fruit or fruits you want to use into that box until it adds up to 10 total. Then close the box and click "squish fruit". When the fruit has been squished, you click on "make nectar" and waif for it to be finished, and then click on "take nectar". It will go into your personal inventory. If you want to stock it in the nectar racks you just click on the nectar rack and select "stock nectar". When the rack if full, that option will be grayed out.

    You don't need to click on the machine to add fruit. You cxan just open the sim's inventory and drag fruit over to the machine, like if you would drag a book over to the bookcase or any item over to another Sim (to switch inventory).

    If you open the "add fruit" box, you can switch between the sims without cancelling the action. Just click on the other sim's face thumb to the left.

    A Good Nectar Ingredient I Always Use:

    2 Cherries, 2 Cranerlet Nuala Grapes, 2 Gralladina Fran Grapes, 2 Pomelos, 1 Life Fruit and 1 Flame Fruit.

    If you have MODDED or want to MOD your game, go onto http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=344611 and install the TS3 Installer Monkey then go to http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=405172 and download the Functional Nectar Barrels * Updated - Flavors! and put it in your C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages make sure you have the d3dx9_31.dll in your C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 World Adventnures\Game\Bin if you haven't got this click this link http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=383093 and go to the bottom and click [Show Spoiler] and download the d3dx9_31.dll. Extract to your desktop and drag it into your C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 World Adventnures\Game\Bin or any other Stuff or Expansion Packs.

    And put your Nectar in those barrels it is found in: Buy Items/Storage/Misc leave Nectar in there for a while and it gets more valuable. I use Functional Nectar Barrels SUPER.rar

    Good Luck

    Now that people already gave answers, I'll just give you a cool nectar recipe!
    Put in 5 life fruit and 5 flame fruit at level 10. You will get all moodlets: (the 4 with pictures of grapes), sugar rush, full of life, and warm fuzzies. All together it = 80 - 110 happiness. The nectar will also be flaming. It is a cool recipe!

    And funny to watch them drinking from a flaming glass.
