QUICK NOTE. THERE ARE 2 BABY BOTTLE CONTROLLERS. YOU CAN ONLY USE ONE. IF YOU HAVE THE BIENCHEN BOTTLE OR WANT TO, USE THIS ONE, IF YOU ARE USING THE MAXIS BOTTLE, USE THE MAXIS BOTTLE CONTROLLER INSTEAD.

Back in 2007, a creator called bienchen83 uploaded this bottle default. https://modthesims.info/d/221687/maxis-default-baby-bottle-and-toys-overrides-update-07-26-12.html As far as I know it was the only default bottle with a pattern. I wished I could have multiple patterns but that was a pipe dream. We all knew that only one default at a time was possible.

Then in 2021 Omglo came out with a Controller for plates and bowls, that allowed for up to 7 patterns in game all at once! I loved this idea and so did Gina. If multiple defaults were possible for plates and bowls what about baby bottles…
Gina created a controller for a Maxis default bottle and a controller for the bienchen bottle which is shown here, cleaned up and tweaked. Now it was 2022 and finally we could recolour multiple patterns for the baby bottles.
So why is it 2024 and we are only uploading this now? Well things happen. Life happens. The important thing is it is here now. 🙂

Default is a basic clear bottle with white milk and white ring top.

Recolours consists of 6 bottle patterns and 6 ring top recolours.

No more green milk and you can mix and match the bottles to the rings.
If your sim does not set a recolour, the sim will pull the default bottle from the fridge.

The bottle controller can be found in small appliances for $1 and can be placed on a counter or a shelf. Have your sim click on it and select a bottle recolour and/or a ring top recolour. They can change the pattern and ring top combination at any time and the bottle pulled from the fridge will match what they have set.

The controller will also set Smart Milk bottle recolours, so a newly bought container will show bottles that match on clicking live mode. You can only have 1 controller on a lot. Or 1 controller per apartment unit.

Controller with matching Smart Milk bottles. Shown is the default bottle with the blue ring.

I included a version of the original default in the download but if you wish to keep the original Bienchen default you can, just please remove the gdaBabyBottleBienchenDefaultClear package out of this download and just keep the texture and controller packages. The original Bienchen default will work with this controller. If you then want to use the original texture in any of your households, just don’t buy a controller and set it for that household and it will show as normal. If you keep my default with a slightly improved milk part of the mesh and a plain texture, then it would naturally be a plain clear bottle in a household without a controller.

Thank you to Omglo https://modthesims.info/m/4642706
To Gina https://modthesims.info/member.php?u=46059 Who had to put up with me changing my mind over patterns and asking her “Shouldn’t we upload this yet?” 😀
