Mood not raising?

It is there to get you to do some things you wouldn't normally do so that you can get the mood up because it does have positive affects on your game experience, because it gives you money and random things like that. So if you don't try and get it up somehow it will never get higher... I dunno, personally I'm not a huge fan of it because if I want to keep it reasonably high it is very costly or makes me stray from my plan for a while... But if beer is coded and becomes reasonable cost and mood it will be helpful.

Luxury is only for the rich, so I'm happy with mood being hard and costly to raise. I do agree, however, with Niveus, I think 3 ingredient meals should add a little more mood.
