Lotta Cocolatas will now be made with actual Coconuts taken from Sims’ Inventories. What were they made from before? We will never know! Never accept imitation Lotta Cocolatas… never!

@Fischreuse I'm a bit unsure if I understand your report correctly.

Is this about the Sim not using a coconut as ingredient for the drink or that it doesn't go in the fridge ?

I'm not 100% sure but do any drinks have ingredients ?

I don't think the coconut not going in the fridge is a bug.

I mean both. At Level 6 of Mixability, you can make a drink at the bar, which is named in German Language Lotta Cocolata. Optionally, the menue for drinks informes, a coconut should be consumed, when making this drink. However, no coconut is consumed when it is in the sim inventory, which is atypical of other drinks or food products that specify optional ingredients. 

And from a fridge no coconut can be used, because you cant't put it in there. This is also atypical compared to kava drink and the other food with the new fruits. These are consumed from both sim inventory and refrigerator, if optional.

I'm afraid the poor coconut was just forgotten when programming. I think, the coconut also wants to go to the fridge party with her fruit friends Pineapple, Taro and Kava and would also like to have a deeper meaning than just being there and having no function except to grow, while the fruit friends may be part of something larger, namely to be consumed for Sims food or drink.

Why it is so marginalized? That's not fair. The poor coconut didn't do any harm

@Fischreuse Could you post a picture where it says that a coconut will be consumed for the drink ?

Here comes the Lotta Cocolata:

Hi @Fischreuse,

I had a look at your report and it seems like we are looking at 2 different issues here:

1. Failing interaction with the fridge of placing a coconut in it while it works for all other fruits
2. Ingredients for the Cocolata not being consumed from the Sims inventory or fridge when creating this item at a bar.

To keep these two issues separate  and to avoid potential confusion it would be great if you could create a new report in a new thread for the bug related to the coconut not being consumed.
Thanks so much for reporting this and for your help!

Happy Simming!

I am not a programmer. I do not know if there are two causes or programming issues. I see only one connection: coconut and inventory. Whether refrigerator inventory or Sim inventory.
