Potion

Potions are present in The Sims: Livin' Large, The Sims 2, The Sims Castaway Stories, The Sims 3: Generations, The Sims 4, The Sims 4: Get to Work, and The Sims 4: Realm of Magic. Potions will typically provide Sims with special effects and abilities, or change their life state, personality or mood.

In The Sims 2, obedience trainers, garden club members and witches sell Lycanthropic-B, Plantophic-C and Witchbegone-E potions respectively, which can be used to revert a life state. The gypsy matchmaker sells all of these, as well as Vamprocillin-D and Love Potion number 8.5.

Witches in The Sims 2: Apartment Life and Sims with The "Concoctanation Station" chemistry set or a SimSanto Inc. Biotech Station can also craft potions.

The Sims: Livin' Large
Sims can create one of eight different colored potions at the buyable chemistry set. Blue potions boost 3 random motives. Light green potions will decrease all your Sim's motives. Red potions will make a random Sims from the neighborhood fall in love with the Sim who consumes it. Orange potions turn Sims invisible, purple potions turns your Sim into a monster, and yellow potions reverse your Sim's traits. White potions will cure the guinea pig sickness, but otherwise have no effect if drunk by a healthy Sim.

Medicine and viruses
The White Potion made with The "Concoctanation Station" chemistry set can cure a sickness. The medicine made with the SimSanto Inc. Biotech Station can cut down the resting time needed to be cured of a sickness, though a Sim with low logic skill and/or who is in a bad mood can create a virus instead. A Sim with very high logic can use the Biotech Station to deliberately make a virus.

Personality changing potions

 * Yellow potion
 * This can be crafted with The "Concoctanation Station" chemistry set, and it reverses a Sim's personality forever. The reversal works simply on the 10-point scale; if he had 3 Nice points, he now has 7 Nice points and so on. For example, a playful Sim who drinks this potion will become a serious Sim, and a nice Sim who drinks it may become a mean Sim. Luckily, if the Sim makes another yellow potion and drinks it, they will get their lost personality back.


 * Magically Spiced Sugar
 * This can be crafted by Good Witches and temporarily changes the Niceness of the Sim who drinks one to 10.


 * Enchanted Essence of Cur Tails
 * This can be crafted by Evil Witches and temporarily changes the Niceness of the Sim who drinks one to 0.

Love Potions

 * Red potion
 * This potion can be crafted with The "Concoctanation Station" chemistry set, and it makes the Sim who drinks it to fall in love with the Sim of the opposite gender they hate most. They will have maxed relationship points and the love will be mutual. Once the potion is consumed, the Sim's new lover will appear next to the player's Sim and kiss them with a passionate kiss. If the Sim has a partner, they will get jealous and slap the Sim's lover across the face.


 * Love Potion Number 8.5
 * Increases a Sims attractiveness by +50 for three hours, provided that the Sim does not drink another potion during that time. The name is a reference to the movie Love Potion #9, which features a potion with the same name as well the version "#8", both sold by the gypsy matchmaker.

Mood Potions

 * Blue potion
 * This potion can be crafted with The "Concoctanation Station" chemistry set, and maximizes three of the Sim's motives. However, if used during the day, there is a 1/3 chance that a policewoman may pass by the Sim's house and charge them §500 for "polluting the atmosphere with strange smells".


 * Light Green potion
 * This potion can be crafted with The "Concoctanation Station" chemistry set, and it will decrease all of the Sim's motives at 25%. It is recommended not to let Sims drink this potion, as they may die shortly if their mood is low enough.

Other potions

 * Orange potion
 * This potion can be crafted with The "Concoctanation Station" chemistry set, and it will make the Sim invisible, allowing them to use specific interactions on other Sims, without either increasing nor decreasing their relationship.


 * Green potion
 * This potion can be crafted with The "Concoctanation Station" chemistry set, and it will create an evil clone of the Sim who drinks it. The clone will walk around the house and use mean interactions on any people there, even on their original self. The victims of the clone will then think that the clone is the actual Sim and decrease their relationship. The clone also has a reversed personality, opposite of the actual Sim's, and will do other things that Sims do in a bad mood, such as grouchily complaining, and if the actual Sim has made gnomes, the clone will kick a gnome in anger, but sometimes that will blow up the gnome and knock the Sim off their feet. The clone may even take the original Sim's child away as if it were a neighbor and disappear forever.


 * Purple potion
 * This potion can be crafted with The "Concoctanation Station" chemistry set, and it will transform the Sim into a monster. When this happens, the Sim cannot be controlled or interacted with. The monster will walk around the house, breaking things before switching back to normal. However, the monster has a big passion for painting and will paint masterpieces worth around 500§ whenever it find an easel.


 * ReNuYu Porta-Chug
 * The ReNuYu Porta-Chug appears in the inventory of pre-Nightlife Sims, townies, NPCs, and CAS Sims. When a Sim drinks it, the player can change the turn-ons and turn-offs of said Sim.

The Sims Castaway Stories

 * Love Struck Potion
 * If used on someone, the two Sims will automatically fall in love with each other.


 * Elixir of Life
 * This potion will reset the current life stage of the player's Sim to the start of the life stage.


 * Penguin Party
 * This potion will make penguins appear around the player's Sim, boosting his or her social motive.

In The House of Tuzu, there is an unnamed potion that ages a Sim one life stage down and resets them to the first day of that life stage. For example, an elder that drinks the potion will become an adult at the start of their life stage.

The Sims 3
Potions return in The Sims 3: Generations and by buying Lord Vladimir's Magic Cauldron from The Sims 3 Store. Sims are able to create them with the 'Catalyst Chemistry Lab Station, and the number of potions that can be created depends on a Sim's logic skill. After discovering all ten potion types, the Master Chemist Logic Skill Challenge will be completed. Completing this challenge gives a 25% discount on all future potions. Note that some potions, e.g. the Age Freeze potion, can only be obtained through lifetime rewards. Sims can also brew elixirs in The Sims 3: Supernatural, which have even broader and more varied effects than potions.

The Sims 3: Generations
Sims have the ability to mix a potion into regular drink, which will be called a 'Mysterious Drink'. This 'Mysterious Drink' looks like a regular drink mixed from the bar, but has exactly the same effect as the original potion when drunk. Only Sims aged children and older are allowed to make and drink potions.

The Sims 3 Store
Another way to make potions is buying Lord Vladimir's Magic Cauldron from the Sims 3 Store. With this, several potions can be made. This is done by adding 'three-of-a-kind'-type items:

After drinking the potion, the Sim will get the moodlet "Curiously Compulsive" (+15 Mood, 3 Hours) or "Potent Potables" (+30 Mood, 3 Hours), and during this moodlet, it affects functions.

The cauldron also has a "conjure" feature. By choosing conjure, a new, random item will appear in the cauldron. You can place appearing items from cauldron into the Sim's inventory and choose conjure again and again to make a lot of Simoleons. However, conjuring takes a lot of energy, so if it is used several times in a row, the Sim using it might pass out.

The Sims 4
In The Sims 4 Sims can buy special potions buy using Satisfaction Points. These potions can change the emotions of Sims, revert their age and make them fat or thin.

Children can also make potions as well, with the "Junior Wizard Starter Set". Children with level 7 mental skill can make the "Emotion Potion" and at level 10, they can make the "Stink Drink".

The Sims 4: Get to Work
With The Sims 4: Get to Work, Sims who are scientists can create potions (known as serums) by having scientific breakthroughs and then creating them by using the chemistry lab. A lot of the serums are very similar to some of the aspiration reward potions.

The Sims 4: Realm of Magic
In The Sims 4: Realm of Magic, spellcasters can craft various potions in cauldrons. A branch of magic is devoted to this art, called Alchemy.
