Nectar from WA, recipes, and facts wanted
IgnorantBliss:
At the risk of waking up the dead, I'm replying to this old topic.
The two different sources linked to (Sims Wiki and Carl's Sims Guide) seem to contradict each other when it comes to the value of various fruits in nectar. I'm more inclined to believe Carl's guide on this, since according to the Sims Wiki information the more rare grapes are worth less than the common ones, which doesn't seem to make much sense. Why would you spend ages growing the rare grapes only to end up with nectar less valuable?

Read until the end, because after the "recipes" follows the gamemechanix.
IgnorantBliss:
Thanks for the link. The whole nectar making thing seems a lot more complicated than most of the other skills in the game. At least it should keep it interesting for a while. After reading all the information I still don't think I fully understand how it works.
J. M. Pescado:
The effectiveness of any fruit ingredient on nectar quality is indeterminate. The "unusual grapes" don't do anything other than look cool, as the ultimate result is not determined by a table of known values, but the outcome of a mathematical hashing function that produces an outcome that varies depending on what is in your game. When you put in expensive grapes, it is converted into a meaningless hash value like anything else, so what ultimately happens is essentially quasi-random. Whether a given combination works out "well" or not is purely a result of how the math rolls out. Imagine determining the rating of a sims3pack item purely by the hex string that pops out when you extract it in s3px/multiinstaller/whathaveyou. That's what happens. There's no rhyme or reason to the results, and it's not entirely random, but it IS totally meaningless on a human level.

well I don't know about totally useless...I've been naming my 'truly awful' blends and having a lot of fun doing it... Crapola Nectar, Crapello Nectar, well, you get the idea...
The only blend I can definitely say the game doesn't find to be utter crap is blening flame fruit and life fruit and maybe a grape... I call if 'Flame of Life' Nectar...
I guess I find the whole 'nectar' and 'nectar drinking' thing to be stupid...usually don't bother having them imbibe unless it fulfills a want...
