Juice Machine Exp.

I harvested a full season worth of fruit and veggies. It was time to play to see what they would do. What mixes would do what.
I had a few sims about to die of old age so decided to make a juice station. I didn't want a sim to die and take the harvested fruit with them. On the second floor of the house, I filled up juice container after juice container with fruit. It didn't' take long to get really confused what station had what fruit. So I came up with a trick. Each of the juice things holds 50 items. Most of them are full. You can see I really like the garden part of seasons.
I used carpet colors to ID the different fruit/veggie.
Apple, orange, lemon, strawberry (space) cucumber, eggplant, pepper, pole beans, tomato, (space) fishing boot (space) extra items - pepper, tomato, and some more that are off the shot.

Along the other wall is the testing stations. I can take the fruit and veggie out of the other ones and put in the testing station to test combo's.

I don't want to be a Season Spoiler so don't want to type up my findings. If your interested, because it wont spoil your fun, then drag your mouse over the next area to see the recipe. Some I figured out on my own and the others I found on the internet. Someone with the prima guide posted them. Sim players are the nicest players.

Recipe:
Heat up Sim- Tomato Juice
Cool off Sim - Lemonade
Increase Skill - Eggplant (if your Sim has LTW to max skill, you need to earn the last skill to get the LTW)
Faster Homework-Apple Juice
Faster Skill Building - Veggie Cocktail ( 2tomato, 1cucumber, 1pepper, 3pole beans)
Energy Boost - Pepper Punch (1pep, 2apples, 4 pole beans)
Plat Mood - strawberry lemonade (3lemons, 2strawberries)
Lose Furious - Strawberry Juice
LovePotion - Beauty Cocktail (2Oranges, 1Cucumber)
Cure Cold- Orange Juice
Add a badge point (not a full badge just a step)-Orangeade (3oranges, 1 lemon) Your Sim needs at least one badge before this will work. The badge point you earn is random.

Mouthwatering Fruit or Veggies will result in longer effects from the juice.
Bland - goes away just a second or so after you finish the drink. Tasty lasts a little longer if you drink several servings of the item. Mouthwatering lasts the longest.

I tested this by using tomato juice and watching how long the sims stayed HOT. Only tested it once, so you could find different results.

This sim lost his face. I hope it was a random glitch and not the result of my video card.
The first sim ghost I found who was haunting in her winter coat. This if a former matchmaker.

PlantSims (x2)

Eye Hatesims is off to spray a tree.
He sprayed a bunch of trees and nothing happened.
As he was spraying some plants, a big poof of smoke covered him. When the smoke cleared he was a plant person.
He looks at himself.
Then checks his hair.
Then returns to spraying
Several days past and I sent another sim to spray some plants.
She gets caught in a large puff of bug spray.

When it clears, she is a plant sim.

She checks herself out and...
pats her head.
She returns to spraying.


Amber B. Hate sims (an adopted alien sim) desides to spawn a baby. One click and she starts acting a little odd. She swoshes her head around.
Bends over and swoshing.
Then a fuzzy thing starts to appear on the ground.
The little creature stands up.
Walks to her mom and asks to be picked up.




Amber B. Hatesims is the proud mom of little Plants Don't Hatesims.
Plant babies are easy to care for. The have three needs just like their parents. Need for sun, water, and love. Water can be refreshed from splashing in a puddle or drinking a bottle of milk. Love is a new way of saying social. Sun is the tricky one. I replaced all the lights in the house with sun lamps and that helps. Sunlight was the biggest thing to keep an eye on. The little one doesn't have an option for potty training, walking or talking. Very different from the typical toddler. The baby ages from toddler to adult. There is no child or teen stage.


More gardening and composting.

Harvesting strawberries.
Talking to plants

Raking leaves. Once in a pile you can compost them or burn them. I have a large garden so I opt to compost. As soon as the new to the garden wears off, I'm sure I will burn them. You can compost dead flower beds and trash. I've taken out all sinks and dishwasher in the house. Everything goes in the trash and possible that it will go into the compost bins.
A view of the lot. I couldn't recall if I shared one before.

Some more food shots.






Mrs. Crumplebottom and more

Gardening gold badge. I love the new badges. I just wish there were a few more.
When Mrs. Crumplebottom visited (exited the well), I used a cheat to add her to the family. I've wanted her in a family since her return with nightlife. She is a little glitchy and may be the end to this lot. I hope it doesnt end to be a mistake. Here she is using the new pool slide.



She keeps her purse the entire time. ROFL

Then something weird happened and now she is in her normal clothes swiming without arms and hanging on to that bag.
She even climbed out of the pool hanging onto her bag. Sort of floated up.

Bad news for people around town. Mrs Crumplebottom is now stronger. Look out for that massive swing behind the hand bag.
This shot reminds me of the old lady in the Vacation movie with Chevy Chase. The old lady that died and they left her on the back patio with her purse. Mrs. Crumplebottom isn't dead, she is just resting, in the winter time, just after exiting the pool.


The matchmaker has died and left her shops to Eye Hatesims.
OH... Samantha is the name of Wood U. Hatesims birth daughter. Aliena and Amber B are his adopted alien daughters.
