Share Your Nectar Making Recipes

[Tremorchrist]

After a month or so of guest lurking this thread (and site) I've decided to contribute my recipe findings.  I don't have any amazing coding insight to add, but as someone who can't stand to let even normal quality fruit go to the vendor I hope I can share at least a couple of new great and amazing recipes to help out the other packrats among us.

These aren't necessarily high-value recipes, but I've found them useful in purging the myriad of lower-quality excess fruit I always end up with while working towards perfect for new plants.  Cheers!

Great:

3 Renoit
3 Meloire
2 Cranerlet Nuala
2 Gralladina Fran

Welcome to our Forum, Tremorchrist!  I'm glad you've advanced from lurker to contributor. 

Thanks for sharing all these recipes.  I'm sure they will be very helpful to everyone!

A bit of math trivia, for anyone who's interested.

If you did OK in high school algebra, you might remember a calculator function that looks like "nCr".  That function is used to find the number of r-element combinations possible from a n-element set ("out of N, choose r things; ex. 10-fruit combinations from 16 total fruit).  This can be written as n!/(r!*(n-r)!).  Refresher: n! = n*(n-1)*(n-2)*(n-3)...*1 (ex. 4! = 4*3*2*1 = 24).  When you include repeatable choices, (like our nectar recipes!) this becomes ((n-1)+r)!/((n-1)!*r!), or in our case, (16-1+10)!/((16-1)!*10*), which is close to 3.3 million recipes!

(Information transcribed from Wikipedia "nCr" and "Combination" articles.)

I just came on to this topic and it was fun reading all these recipes. ^^

I have one to give. I made 80% Cranerelet Nuala Grapes 20% Lime and with perfect quality for all fruits and it came out at a price of $345!

My first bottle over $300~

I was also thinking, it would be great to see the first post updated with all recipes and information on nectar making! ^^ Just a thought.

I think I had a really good one - 9 Plum and 1 Lifefruit. I think that's what it was. Oh wait, maybe it was flame fruit. I don't know, sorry!

Thank you for the tip, I'll try both sometime and tell you which gave me the highest

[samoht04]

My Sim used concentrated method I think, I am pretty sure it was Flame fruit but oh well.

[Margerita]

Using none perfect fruits for both recipes, the one using flamefruit gave almost twice as much in base value. My sim used concentrated method and have completed the challenge that gives extra value to bottles.

So far my sims have discovered a pretty nice recipe not posted here. 5 Cranerlet Nuala Grapes - 3 Gralladina Fran Grapes - 2 Watermelon. Can't make any promises for taste but it has a rather nice value per bottle.

Next people will start saying Onion will work well!

I've heard that onion part was a game bug that was removed, otherwise I'd run to the store for some

I believe you are correct, Margerita.  There was something about Sims getting a wish to use bizarre ingredients in nectar, like garlic.  This was corrected in a patch.

Now I have heard Everything...

They wanted to use things like steak too. Too bad they couldn't actually do it.

Yeah, really. In the Bottomless Nectar Cellar article I wrote I could have had Zeus and Hera make rump roast nectar. Mmmm...mmmm...good! Of course, then they would have been the butt of Olympus. Oh, oh, my sides hurt!

[PJSim]

Oh, oh, my sides hurt!

Well, I'm glad you can amuse yourself. It's a rare talent.
