XI. Issues

1. Nectar Maker Requires a base to be placed
2. Cannot be placed in a room with a ceiling. Turn on move objects (bb.moveobjects) to be able to place it indoors. 
3. Interrupting the nectar making process may produce errors
4. The empty glass from catalogue may crash the game. DO NOT CLICK IT.
5. The sims require seating to drink the nectar. ( Will look into this more)
6. After pouring nectar into glass while using a bar, the sim would either drink ( can be cancelled) or put down the nectar bottle. This nectar bottle is as good as new and will have the relevant interactions.
7. The pouring animation for nectar making lacks a prop atm. I will try to add a prop in the future.
8. The recolouring presets are a bit higher above the mesh. Zoom out when using the design tool.
