Understanding Drinks in Sims 4
In the popular life simulation game, Sims 4, players can throw parties and serve drinks to their guests. Drinks are a fun addition to any party and can help boost the mood of the guests. But, before you start mixing up drinks, it’s important to understand how drinks work in Sims 4.
Types of Drinks
There are various types of drinks available in Sims 4. These include:
- Juices
- Alcoholic Beverages

Each type of drink has its own unique effect on the Sims. For example, juices can help improve the hydration needs of Sims, while coffee can help wake them up and increase their energy levels.

Making Drinks at a Party
Now that we’ve covered the basics of drinks in Sims 4, let’s talk about how to make drinks at a party.
Setting Up the Party
Before you can start making drinks, you need to set up the party. To do this, click on the phone in the bottom left corner of the screen and select “Throw a Party.” Choose the type of party you want to throw and select a time to start the party.
Hiring a Bartender
To make drinks at a party, you’ll need a bartender. You can either hire a bartender or assign one of your Sims to be the bartender for the party. To hire a bartender, click on the phone and select “Hire a Service.” Choose the “Bartender” option and select a Sim to hire. The hired bartender will arrive at the party and start making drinks.
Making Drinks
Once the party is underway, it’s time to start making drinks. Click on the bar, and select “Mix Drinks.” A menu will appear, showing all the available drinks you can make. Choose the drink you want to make and select “Mix Drink.” The bartender will start making the drink, and it will be added to the inventory of drinks available at the party.
Serving Drinks
To serve drinks to your guests, click on the inventory of drinks in the bottom left corner of the screen. Choose the drink you want to serve, and select “Serve Drink.” The Sim will grab a drink and start serving it to the guests. Guests will automatically grab a drink when they are thirsty, so there’s no need to worry about serving every Sim individually.
Tips for Making Drinks at a Party
Here are some tips for making drinks at a party in Sims 4:
Hire a Bartender
Hiring a bartender is a great way to ensure that drinks are being made consistently throughout the party. It also frees up your Sims to socialize with the guests and enjoy the party.
Mix a Variety of Drinks
Mixing a variety of drinks can help keep the party interesting and cater to the tastes of different Sims. Make sure to mix both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks to cater to all guests.
Keep the Bar Stocked
Make sure to keep the bar stocked with ingredients so that the bartender can continue making drinks throughout the party. You don’t want to run out of ingredients halfway through the party!
Decorate the Bar
Decorating the bar can help set the mood for the party and make it more enjoyable for the guests. Consider adding some decorations such as flowers or balloons to the bar area.
Use Custom Recipes
Custom recipes can add a fun and unique aspect to the party. Sims 4 allows players to create their own drink recipes, which can be added to the bar menu. This can be done through the use of the “Mixology Skill” or through downloading custom content. Using custom recipes can add a personal touch to the party and make it more memorable.
