Sims are able to drink potions, and in some cases make them. It is a feature present in The Sims: Livin' Large, The Sims 2 and The Sims 3: Generations. Most potions change the life state, personality or mood of a Sim when drunk. In The Sims 2, some potions can be used to revert a life state.

In The Sims 2, Obedience Trainers, Garden Club members and Witches sell Lycanthropic-B, Plantophic-C and Witchbegone-E potions respectively. 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^[TS:LL] or a SimSanto Inc. Biotech Station^[TS2] can also craft potions.

The Sims: Livin' Large and The Sims 2Edit

Medicine & viruses Edit

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.

Life state cure potions Edit

• Vamprocillin-D ^[TS2:NL]

Personality changing potions Edit

Yellow potion^[TS:LL]

Love PotionsEdit

Red potion^[TS:LL]

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.

Love Potion Number 8.5^[TS2:NL]

Mood PotionsEdit

Blue potion^[TS:LL]

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^[TS:LL]

This potion can be crafted with The "Concoctanation Station" chemistry set, and it will decrease all of the Sim's motives at 25%.

Other potions Edit

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^[TS:LL]

This potion can be crafted with The "Concoctanation Station" chemistry set, and it will create and 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 an reversed personality, opposite of the actual Sim's.

Purple potion^[TS:LL]

This potion can be crafted with The "Concoctanation Station" chemistry set, and it will transform the Sim into a monster. 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^[TS2:NL]

The Sims Castaway Stories PotionsEdit

Love Potion

If used on someone, the two Sims will automaticly fall in love with each other and will get very high relationship level.

Elixir of Life

This potion will bring the player's Sim back on the first day of his or her life stage.

Penguin Party

This potion will make penguins suddenly appear around the player's Sim boosting his or her Social motive.

(Note: In The House of Tuzu there is a potion that automaticly gets the Sim back in his or her previous life stage on the 1st day (ex. an Elder drinks the potion and becomes an Adult on the 1st day))

The Sims 3Edit

Potions return in The Sims 3: Generations and by buying Lord Vladimir's Magic Cauldron from the Sims 3 Store (see below). 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 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.

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, such as adding a Rainbow Beetle, Rainbow Trout, and Rainbow gem to the brew in order to make a Special potion. Some of the potions are:

• Sleeping potion
• Fast reading potion
• Emotion potion
• Hunger potion
• Vanity potion
• Special potion (by adding a rainbow beetle, rainbow trout, and rainbow gem to the mix)

The cauldron also has a "conjure" feature. By adding two items to the cauldron and choosing conjure, a new, random item will appear in the cauldron. What item will appear seems to be unaffected by what's in the cauldron. It should be noted that the original items do not disappear after being used for conjuration, so you can use those items 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.
