Potion

Sims are able to drink potions and in some cases make them. Most potions change the life state, personality or mood of a Sim when drunk. In The Sims 2 they are also used to revert a life state.

The Gypsy Matchmaker sells them all as well as Love Potion number 8.5. Obedience Trainers, Garden Club members and Witches sell Lycanthropic-B, Plantophic-C and Witchbegone-E potions respectively.

Witches in The Sims 2: Apartment Life and Sims with a Concoctinator Chemistry Set or SimSanto Inc. Biotech Station can also craft potions.

Medicine & viruses
The White potion made with Concoctinator Chemistry Set and the medicine made with SimSanto Inc. Biotech Station can cure or cut down the resting time needed to be cured of a sickness, respectively. However, a Sim with low logic skill and/or is in a bad mood can create a virus instead.

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