I was wondering why the "hot beverage maker" had no option for hot chocolate, so I poked around in the code to see where the hot drink names come from. It turns out that it's exceedingly easy to add more strings and combinations to the 'random recipe' function, so that's exactly what this small XML/STBL mod does. It expands the pool of coffee types from 4 to 11, the toppings from 5 to 23, the flavors from 7 to 35, the cream types from 4 to 13, and the "tuples" from 4 to 10. That actually adds up to a LOT more possible combinations! It also fixes the "Cappucino" typo and double-spacing error in some beverage names.

I know what you're thinking -- this mod is pretty much pointless -- and I agree.  It's completely pointless. :P I guess it's fun to see what pops up when you send a Sim to make a random cup of coffee. Call it a proof of concept.

Compatibility
Base game versions 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.11

English language only. Incompatible with any hack that modifies the HotBeverageMachine XML, if any exist out there.

Installation
Install as per a standard XML mod, in Mods\Packages, or with a third-party helper.

This is really, really embarrassing and totally my fault, not yours, but which game version(s) is this compatible with? There are message and smiley icons to add to posts for compatibility, and the reason this is so embarrassing is because when I was editing posts so all CC had those markers, I totally forgot about this section. :bag:

Ah, something I should have made clearer. It's a base game item so it for both base and WA.
