Gypsy matchmaker

The Gypsy Matchmaker is an NPC that came with The Sims 2: Nightlife and The Sims 2: FreeTime. The Matchmaker can summon a blind date for a Sim (the Sim's compatibility with their date depends on how much the player decides to pay the Matchmaker), sell Love Potion Number 8.5 for §350, or sell a cure for Vampirism, Lycanthropy, Witchiness, or PlantSimism for §60. Sims can buy a single dose of a potion, or buy potions in lots of 3, 5, and 10.

In The Sims 2: FreeTime, if the lifetime meter of everyone in the household is high, the Matchmaker may sneak over to the house during the night and leave a Genie lamp.

The Matchmaker is an unplayable NPC (barring hacks), but can be befriended and fall in love with a controllable Sim. However, the only socializing actions allowed with the Gypsy Matchmaker are under the Talk, Flirt and Influence menus (which is much more limited than the Influence menu of a non-NPC Sim). She will stay on a Sim's lot for hours at a time, until she is greeted.

How to contact her
She may appear on Downtown community lots, but the only way to be sure of reaching her is to use the phone. To summon her by phone, have a Sim call "Services," then select "Matchmaking Service." She will arrive within 30 Sim minutes. This can only be done on residential lots, as Sims cannot call services on community lots even if they have cell phones.

Trivia

 * If you marry the Gypsy Matchmaker or move her in (using cheats or mods), you will still be able to buy potions from her, even if you age her down.
 * In Pleasantview, if you pay her 5000 Simoleons, there is a chance that Bella Goth will appear.
