Beverages in restaurants

The new luxury restaurant seems very entertaining. I think it’s quite basic at the moment and it has caused me some errors, but that’s not the issue. What I would like is for the restaurant to also be able to order different drinks and “grape juice”. When you’re waiting for your food it would be great to have it. Also, I know it’s not important, but it would make me happy to be able to grow grapes and make my own wine and then store it in the basement and consume it or give it as a gift. By the way, I think we should also be able to make bread and cheese too, something basic that should always be there :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

There’s bottle decoration, but I would really like it to be something interactive.

Why not. I’d even add a new type of activity: the wine business (or whatever it’s called) — from growing grapes to storing and selling wine for a lot of money. Even though I don’t drink alcohol, I’d like to be able to get Zoi drunk, like in GTA 4 and 5 — that would be fun!

:laughing: It has to be really funny, I remember The Sims had something like that and yes as a separate business and to put it in restaurants and at home etc., it would be entertaining and give it a very snobby vibe :laughing: . Can you imagine? The neighborhood wine taster :laughing:

You have no idea how spot-on you were with your request :wink: :grin:

Check out the latest video from Kjun, there are quite a few spoilers in it :grin: I won’t say anything more for now, it’s more fun that way :heart:

:astonished_face: , I don’t know which one you’re referring to, could you point me to it? I’m intrigued! I saw a video but I haven’t been able to see anything related to this idea.

Your idea about the wine making would tie in really well with Lavender City (French city)! It would actually be really cool if you could as well design your own wine bottle label to give it more character. Drinking wine should lead to effects for your zoi. For example, after one drink your zoi gets a moodlet boosting excitement, after to many drinks falling a sleep in the middle of the street :rofl: And you better not drive after drinking to many wine as it becomes more difficult to drive straight XD

Oh! I love that city idea!!! I hadn’t thought about it but yes :laughing: . Aesthetically I think it’s an object that looks really good and can also have many uses besides production etc and lots of roleplay :laughing:

It is likely to become reality! Lavender City (French inspired) is one of the leaks that players and modders mentioned a couple times before. A modder found something in the gamecode which included the name lavender city and a player found a background in CAZ hinting to it (included lavender and wine bottles!:star_struck:) . If you haven’t seen these rumours I would suggest to google Lavender City. I myself really enjoyed reading these rumours and see everyone speculate about it’s meaning. I really hope if/when they give us this city that they would include your idea about actual wine making using grapes that you harvested yourself and tie it in with actual gameplay and owning a business! These wines should be available in the premium restaurants to enjoy luxury. In the latest video from friday I would say look at the three outfits at the back of the video. What do you think these outfits are used for? I myself think they look quite medival and farming related (I think it is again a hint to the French world: Lavender City). What do you think?

I hadn’t seen the rumor, I’ll look for it, thanks!. Yes! the outfits reminded me a lot of European countryside life, I hope it’s true and they add some European things like wine and France, or Italy and pasta etc :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: that’s something that would be really nice

Yes, I’ve already looked through them and there’s really a lot of interesting and global stuff there, but I still don’t understand how they’ll work it all out, since for every moment shown, you’d almost need to do a separate update.

No problem! I am really curious what you think Lavender City is going to be. I would also love Italy with the pasta, pizza, lasagna and the ice cream shops! Also the boats on the canal. It would be a great romantic location for your zois to go on a honeymoon :heart_eyes: For France they could add baguettes and croissants freshly baked in the bakery. I hope it is true as well!:smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Well, as for the specific issue raised in this thread, it will be right there in the new town, everything has been prepared long ago :wink:

If you visit simsmixei (I won’t give an explicit link, just in case I violate some forum rules), I’ve described there on behalf of Omega what exactly is already contained in the game files right now.

But how could it be more obvious? Wine-making equipment and a perfume shop — it’s all right there, what could be clearer? :grin:

I’d love for them to be usable :face_holding_back_tears: and for me to be able to create them myself

Yes please xDD I’d also like it, just like you do, if it had that Parisian atmosphere, or as you say boats in the canal in Italy, and eating pasta and planting basil to make pasta, or cheese, I’ve been waiting so long for cheese cooking to be possible :laughing: and bread. I know it sounds silly but I’m excited about it. I spent a lot of time doing that in Stardew Valley xDDD.

If it’s not lavender, I hope that in the future we can have places like that which represent beautiful countries and cities with different lifestyles, favorite foods, and things that Zois can discover and learn to bring to their city.

@thebestofme2023 Ohhh you know what I’ve been thinking? that you’d have to travel to those :laughing: cities to get special typical recipes, that it could be a way to unlock them :laughing: or drinks from those places so you can put them in your city’s business.

You’d have to travel to Italy to learn how to make carbonara pasta :pinched_fingers:
