Talk:Alchemy

Question:
Has anyone noticed it becomes extremely difficult to learn new recipes after a sim reaches level 10 in alchemy?

The sim in question has the fast learner life time award.

Aerith

Yay.
It will be better if elixirs are sorted in a table. Just a suggestion.

 * Would do, but I haven't had Supernatural, so I can't help much for now. :/  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  15:36, September 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's okay. I just need some basic tutorial into making a simple table. :)
 * You could copy an example from other articles. :) Or copy this table with source mode.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  15:55, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

 * I added the table and most all of the descriptions.-- Super Secret  18:21, September 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot SuperSecret. Now, there's just one more thing. Screenshots. Need pictures of each elixirs and add in the table.

 * Now there are even the pictures.-- Super Secret  12:15, September 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh my, thanks! Where did you get these images?Animated sims plumbbob.gifa TalkieAnimated sims plumbbob.gif 12:16, September 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * From the file ObjectThumbnails.package, located in the folder "Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Thumbnails"-- Super Secret  12:23, September 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * SuperSecret, can you upload the thumbnail of Moonlight Falls in the world file under TWNI / TWNA tag?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  12:28, September 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * And how did you extract the icons from the .package file? What software to use?Animated sims plumbbob.gifa TalkieAnimated sims plumbbob.gif 12:30, September 6, 2012 (UTC)

S3PE is used to tinker with TS3 game files.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  12:52, September 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * @Nikel: Done, I also inserted it in the neighborhood page.
 * @TWikia: I use S3PE, Nikel provided a link to its homepage.-- Super Secret  13:09, September 6, 2012 (UTC)

Effects of elixirs
Things like "replenished of 25%" and "depleted of 40%" don't parse in English, but I can't figure out what they are supposed to mean well enough to try correcting it. Is it supposed to be "by"? Dharden (talk) 13:23, September 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * My bad, sorry, my English is not perfect, I am Italian. Indeed, it is supposed to be "by"-- Super Secret  13:30, September 6, 2012 (UTC)

Elixirs on a separate page?
I guess elixirs can be put on a new page, because there can be a lot of information about elixirs like how to get them (not only making them).

 * I agree.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  04:48, September 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll think of a way.Animated sims plumbbob.gifa TalkieAnimated sims plumbbob.gif 07:44, September 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Um, hold on. I think I mistook this page with potion. :O I meant that I really agree if you separate elixirs from potions. Sorry, I couldn't think clear before. Anyway, I'd say it could stay here unless it can hold more detailed information.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  08:31, September 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ahaha. Elixirs are like potions, but they are a much-separate topic to potions. Animated sims plumbbob.gifa TalkieAnimated sims plumbbob.gif 08:44, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

Aliens and Other Strange Sims
As it turns out, Aliens are unaffected by Invigorating Elixirs. I figured that would be the case, but some small part of me hoped it would restore their Brain Power. I'm pretty sure that it won't do anything for Mummies either. -- Lexmechanic (talk) 16:49, January 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, since aliens don't have Energy need, there's a good chance it won't work anyway... :s Haven't tried with Mummies or SimBots, but seeing SimBot's needs are the same as normal Sims, I guess they can take the elixir. Why can't Mummies?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  05:06, January 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * It does nothing for Aliens, I tested that one. Mummies don't have Energy either, I think... or is it static? Either way, they don't sleep in the first place. -- Lexmechanic (talk) 16:22, January 24, 2013 (UTC)
