Description
This is part of my Better Bon Voyage mod that will enhance some aspects of vacationing. Part 3 covers objects brought by said expansion pack, starting with the lucky shrine and the zen garden. More objects may be enhanced in future updates.

The lucky shrine has been enhanced with more diverse results - different blessings between community and residential lots and introduction of the very bad results for extracting agony... Far less unfair randomness, as the Aspiration bar is the primary deciding factor on the results.

The zen garden has been reworked entirely, starting with how most of the garden can be walked over. Raking the garden is made a group activity, where multiple Sims can chat together. The raking progression is gradual and applied to the whole garden, and no longer prevents furthur raking once completed, so as to allow its Want to be fulfilled more readily.

The tea table is now a method for replenishing Energy, instead of Hunger. If Seasons is installed, drinking tea will warm Sims up, moreso than even chocolate, and PlantSims gain more Water. Sims are more thoughtful before they autonomously drink tea - they need to be less fresh and with enough Bladder. Otherwise, it has more customizable BCON, such as for disabling the tea cost and restore the Hunger replenishment.

Part 1, Part 2

  • Drinking tea warms Sims up significantly.
  • Drinking tea gives extra Water for PlantSims.
  • While seated, Sims regain Comfort.
  • Autonomy improvement, with Sims having more restraints before and after drinking, to avoid Bladder issue.
  • While using jonasn's Eat "Chinese" Food Fast as Lightning mod, attempting to place the serving tray will no longer lead to an error if a tea table is present.
  • Tea costs money outside residential lots.
  • More customizations, such as re-enabling Hunger replenishment, higher Energy threshold before quiting, and disabling tea cost.
