<t>I have 3 NPCs, a Book Merchant, a Food Merchant, and a Bartender (community lot) that are losing motives, even though they should be locked. I do not have SP installed and I do not have my mega mall in the town gumming up the works (this is a completely different game from the one that did have i...

Yep reading through the description on the bar mod, making mood drinks at a bar on community lot IS disabled with the non-modded (EA) bars. One of the things this mod does is to enable on community lots. Bonus

edit above:

Or it might be that the drinks get cleaned up automatically on a community lot; i remember there WAS a reason I stopped trying to do it on a community lot, but it was a long time ago.

<r>Awesome brappl thanks i will look into it then.<br/> <br/> igazor IIRC, even with that bar, you cant make a "skill drink" unless you have learned the LN "specialty" drink that is the equivalent (Alien Brain or something like that?) And even then, pretty sure you can only make it FOR someone, thou...

<r>yes it has a bar, but you cant make skill drinks on a community lot (at least not without mods) <E>;-)</E> The gym is a favorite hang-out of my "survivalist" sims, since it has a place to eat, drink, pee, and shower (gain energy too, since I use a mod for coffee) in addition to fun and exercise. ...

<r>Well I can say that (without mods) I have never been able to put bar drinks in a sim's inventory; food, yes, drinks no. And I am pretty sure that once served, nectar cannot be placed in inventory either.<br/> <br/> Now, if there is a mod that allows them to be drag-n-dropped in and out of persona...

@brappl the only way (that I know of) any of the drinks/nectars can be placed in sim inventory is with transfer mods such as via MC. I dont recall if they are usable or not at that point; been a while since I went that route.

<r>Yep ran into the same behavior with them a couple years back when I tried to lock them out. They never made it to the trays, but they threw some fantastic tantrums over it <E>:D</E> Then the trays got auto-cleaned and made it all moot anyway.<br/> <br/> I found some archived posts where someone f...

<r>I asked about this on MTS, and someone suggested that Retuner might be able to handle this. I have no idea the scope of the mod in terms of just how much you can tweak with it. So is it possible to use that mod for this?<br/> <br/> Also, another user suggested a mod by TFM, which disables autonom...

<r>HA! Finally figured it out! <E>:D</E><br/> <br/> Leaving the lot as a residential when saving to bin did not work. Any form of bin saving triggered the loss of the garden. I even tried switching to a different active family, and it still happened.<br/> <br/> The final solution:<br/> <ul><li>I con...
