I. THE SUBTLE SCIENCE OF POTION MAKING
When making potions just for the sake of their effects, have many sets.
You will need all the blues. This guide is to direct you on what to
drink and what not to drink. Keep in mind that you can get fined for
making potions. Some of these potions can be helpful, while others can
be disastrous. So unless you want a certain effect, only use the blues.
II. POTIONS
Blue- Happiness. This is one of the most frequent potions. This
may help, yet you will always need to go to the bathroom. Save these,
in case you need them if you get a green.
Yellow- The most useful potion. This potion completely reverses
your personality. The usefulness of this potion depends on how you have
made you personality. If you are going to spend your time on potions,
make you personality absolutely nothing. Then when you drink this
potion, your Sim will be perfect. Otherwise, don't bother.
Purple- Your Sim turns into a monster. The monster wanders around
breaking stuff. If you happen to get this potion, DO NOT drink it
unless you want your stuff broken, if you have Servo, or if you have
enough Mechanical skill to fix everything. This potion is completely
useless except for sheer entertainment.
Orange- Makes your Sim invisible. I'm pretty sure this makes it
impossible to interact with characters, but I am not sure. I never talk
to people when I am making potions.
Green- Makes you extremely mad. If you saved those blue potions,
you'll need them now. Drink up, because now there will be a lot of
complaining.
Red- Makes a random person fall in love with your Sim. A Sim will
pop out of nowhere and the red heart will be above them. This potion
helps if you want to marry or have a good friend for your job. If this
is what you want, seize the opportunity and fall in love with her or
him. The genie can also have this effect of your people.
Dark Green- Creates an evil clone. You can interact with this
clone, but it will disappear and your relationship with it will be
destroyed.
White- The Antidote Potion. This cures your Sims when they get
the Guinea Pig Disease or another disease. You can only make this
potion when you are sick.
III. The Genie
You must have Sims: Livin' Large to have the genie. As you see below,
there are good and bad effects for everything you pick. This is
completely random and there is no way to control what he says or which
effects they will have. The genie is only available once a day for each
lamp you have. Only adults can access the genie. The good and bad part
depends on your opinion.
