@gummilutt I was lazy and used one of the texture replacement bottles by Engram found throughout this thread http://www.simbology.com/smf/index.php?topic=3146.0, and then just created my own label design for personal use. I have a few different designs and just switch them out when I get tired of seeing the same one.

While all my sims do adore blowing bubbles, I've never been able to get them interested in bars, so your post here kind of has me scratching my head. I'll even have a host sim serve drinks so there are plenty available just sitting right there for the taking, and still no one's interested. They'd rather play SSX3.

I'd say I'm more prone to give bars to romance, fortune, pleasure and popularity Sims.

I just buy a bar if a sim wants a bar and can afford it and has space for it. I think it's only those four aspirations who ask for bars, and only pleasure who ask for the bubble blower (eventually all my pleasure sims get a bubble blower just to shut that obnoxious want up, but I usually lock it away from guests or that's all anyone will ever do!).

Off-topic for the thread, but can I just say Cornelia's dress is gorgeous?

Well, that's an ancient picture and an ancient recolour - I have no idea where I got it from. However, I could have a look and see if I still have it and could upload it to SFS for you. I'm pretty sure it's an EAxis mesh.

The pineapple is alcoholic punch, and bars on community lots sell alcohol to adults and soft drinks to teens. A bar on a home lot has both - juice and soft drinks are poured, cocktails are stirred. Although, given how Sims will often go to grab a drink when they're hungry, I think it might have Boost or Ensure as well!

I view the bottle as water since it looks too much like one. I guess it could be an alcoholics way or hiding vodka drinking.

Not that I drink much (try once a blue moon), but I do believe that some drinks use water, no? And if it wasn't a wet bar with a sink attached havin bottled water there would make sense, at least imo :D

With that thought though I rarely use the bars as I tend to build more smaller houses that don't have room for that sorta luxury.

Yes. If you had the ingredients, could brew different recipes with the keg, and it was glorious. :lovestruc

I regard the juice as alcohol. Amazingly enough, you can drink alcohol without getting drunk. Moderation is the key as in all things.
However, even though Sims might always be at the juice bar, it has no effect other than filling their bladder, which is just a little disappointing. I have one of those beer keg mods but have yet to use it.

If you do get either the kegs or the six pack, be forewarned that the results can vary wildly. Sometimes with life-altering results..

Exactly, and if my memory is correct you could also poison sims to death in that game, and it was T rated just like the main series, why don't EA put these kind of stuff in the main game is beyond my comprehension.

In my game, juice and nectar are alcohol. The slacker reward is a houseplant because it looks to me like some weird cross between a ruellia and an African violet. I considered making the bubble blower an illegal intoxicant, but then Malcolm Landgraab's daughter convinced me that it was just Fizzy Lifting Stuff like Smorbie said.

That would be lovely, but only if it's a quick job - don't go to too much trouble

OK it's here:
http://simfil.es/331806/
I'm pretty sure it's a recolour of the blue dress (picture). For an old skin, it looks pretty nice actually. It's called Royal Blue Lace Dress - I did rename the file at some point. Let me know if you have any difficulties.

Edit: I've just remembered that Stajl was a skinner over at All About Style - which makes sense as I used to raid that site on a regular basis back in the day - but I can't see that skin anywhere so I'll leave the file up for now. If anyone spots it, let me know and I'll take the file down if we can post a link instead.

Bars do serve bottled water.
I totally love the suggestions, @SIMelissa Although I think serious Sims should sit alone in a corner and get seriously drunk

Did I miss any?
The hydroponic garden is.... I FEEL LIKE SUCH A NOOB!

At least I know how to really get my sim's criminal empire going now.... He's going to sell bubble blowers and *cough* garden plants.

For me it was even worse, because I thought it was an overgrown baby bottle

I seem to recall a similar discussion at some site; I do not remember where.

to me; for it to be an alcoholic beverage, sims would need to become drunk.
explicit alcohol might have increased the ESRB rating.

Can't give you a link because the Booty is down, but Pandora Sims has some 'bland cucumbers' you can grow as well.

did some reading at the wikia site.
some possible reasons of why they got away::
-the character technically not a person.
-the drink being nectar instead of alcohol.
