Title: Coffee-Flavored Coffee (aka, Hot Beverages for Traditionalists)
Post by: Ambular on 2010 November 16, 23:56:41
This is a mod for old fogies like me who wish to give our Sims JUST A CUP OF COFFEE DAMMIT.  (Or tea, or hot chocolate, or something similarly mundane.)  It changes the menu for the coffee maker and the choices on the tray to more traditional hot beverage fare.  Quite a few variations are included, and you can still score a cappuccino, espresso, etc. if you're lucky, but yeah...mainly just regular old coffee and tea with options for sugar, cream and the like.  A handful of "special blends" are thrown in just for fun.

The picture shows only a few of the options that the game will randomly generate.

It's based on ChannTL's More Beverages Mod (http://linna.modthesims.info/download.php?t=424881), which has pretty much the opposite effect.  Seems to work fine with all three EP's.  Please report any problems.

THIS is great.  I rolled my eyes when I saw the mod for Seventyeleven Million NEW ways to be Excessive with your Not-Coffee.  But I'd love to have my sims drink things that I can find in my own kitchen.

*BAA.*

Wish I'd been smert enough to think of this myself, but in my defense I've been a bit distracted lately.

I thought it was amusing and demonstrated a clear sense of totally misplaced priorities that EA clearly invested time into creating, debugging, and translating, dozens of "coffee"-esque beverages that are all COMPLETELY INDISTINGUISHABLE in-game and sims do not honestly give a damn one way or another.

Yes, it's purely flavor text (no pun intended.)  Which, on the one hand, is fairly pointless as you say, but on the other hand makes it extremely simple to change.

That simplicity is exactly why I got carried away writing a mod that adds seventyeleven million flavours of coffee in the first place.  ;) I'm glad you came up with a saner alternative.

Hope you don't mind me using yours as a base!  I wouldn't even have thought of it if I hadn't seen yours.

 :) thanks, I hated the silly drinks they have in the game, I miss the normal coffee makers they used to have, I also wish they had something other then just something sweet to eat for breakfast, all they have is waffles and pancakes, then theres the other stuff cereal, toast and jam, but I would like some eggs and bacon, or eggs and sausage, or even some healthy fruit bowel would be nice, not everyone eats sweets for breakfast all the time, I mean I do like those foods sometime but not every day, hell even put in oat meal too, and a English muffin with butter, or toast and butter too, I know there were some wonderful food done by creators at Mod The Sims for the Sims 2, I wish there was some way to change the food in The Sims 3 too, the stuff they have is boring, anyway thanks again for given me something more real for my game!

It sounds like a more genteel euphemism for the green apple shits.

Why are your puddings not eating spaghetti or Goopy Carbonara for breakfast like everyone else's?  All food is breakfast food.
