How To Make Nectar In The Sims 1: Makin’ Magic

If you’ve never seen some good old-fashioned grape stomping to make wine, then prepare to watch your Sims hop into the A Pressing Feeling machine with their hard-earned produce in The Sims to create some “nectar,” the Sims’ longtime rendition of artisan wines.

Not only will you need a slew of ingredients to make wine in The Sims, but you’ll need to work on boosting your Cooking skill a bit, too, if you’d like to earn more cash for selling your fresh-pressed goods. There are four different types of nectar in The Sims: Makin’ Magic for you to start makin’.

Press Fruits Into Nectar

Being a family-friendly game, you’ll never see your Sims obtaining anything outwardly labeled as alcohol, but they’ve sure got a fair few stand-ins for it. One of them is nectar, which your Sims can make at home using the A Pressing Feeling nectar making item from buy mode. If you’re making fruit nectar, you’ll need two fruits and one portion of sugar, so the recipes are fairly simple.

For the most part, you’ll need elderberries and grapes, which you can buy in Magic Town with your spellcasting items or grow on your home lot using a special type of gardening plot. Another central ingredient for your nectar crafting is sugar, available from any general goods stand. If you’re making a lot of wine and need to head to Magic Town often for ingredients, save time and money by using the shortcut hole that came with your home lot, especially if you don’t live close to Magic Town itself.

Simply put items from your inventory into the A Pressing Feeling Nectar Maker following the recipes in the table below, and you’ll watch your Sim physically press the nectar themselves. By interacting with the press a second time after the batch is finished, you can choose to sell your wine, watching the asking price increase as you improve your Cooking skill, or save it in the Taste of the Vine Nectar Bar.

Finally, there’s a recipe for Magic Nectar that temporarily renders any Sim who drinks it into a ghost. The recipe won’t be shown in your book until you’ve made it yourself for the first time, so use the recipe in the table below to log it into the recipe book for future use.
