Thank you very much! My pro-recycling Sims no longer have to shun the keg on ethical principles

Thanks for this great fix! I never used the stupid barrel because of the annoyances you mentioned. It will be nice to use it at parties now. I don't understand why Maxis didn't just use the tall stack of cups next to the barrel to indicate emptiness (full height, half height and gone completely when empty). I guess that would have made too much sense.

Something else that Maxis really should have done from the start.

Thank you for this one, Gummi! I love the addition of knowing how many drinks are left!

Thanks guys Glad you like it!

I realized I gave incorrect information about 30 drinks version. I was planning to make it kick in only after refill due to price, but decided not to, and when I wrote thread I forgot that I had decided not to do that. Tired gummi is tired! Description has now been fixed to give correct information.

I think this really does improve the use of the fruit punch barrel. I've never used it past trying it out years ago. I hated how the Sims would put the cups all over the ground when they were finished drinking their punch, instead of in the trash can. Now if there is a fix for that I might consider giving it another try.

Does the "Refill" like how you would order groceries? As in for that, you have the precision to select what amount of groceries you wanna pick with that bar and arrow button-tingy-majiggy.

Could you please tell me the difference between the first two files? Try as I might I can't figure it out.

The difference is the number of drinks the barrel holds. In the first file it holds 15, which is what the original maxis barrel holds. In the second, I've increased the number of drinks to 30

Seems I missed this last time I responded to comments. I realize it's old, I've been pretty absent for the past 3 years, and OP is unlikely to see it but in case someone has this question in future I will reply. No, the refill does not work in the same way as ordering groceries. The code will fill the barrel up to max capacity every time, though it will check to see how many drinks are missing and only charge you that amount.
