Potion

Potions are present in The Sims: Livin' Large, The Sims 2, The Sims Castaway Stories, The Sims Medieval, The Sims 3: Generations, The Sims 4, The Sims 4: Get to Work, and The Sims 4: Realm of Magic. Potions will typically provide Sims with special effects and abilities, or change their life state, personality or mood.
In The Sims 2, obedience trainers, garden club members and witches sell Lycanthropic-B, Plantophic-C and Witchbegone-E potions respectively, which can be used to revert a life state. The Matchmaker sells all of these, as well as Vamprocillin-D and Love Potion number 8.5.
==The Sims: Livin' Large==
Sims can create one of eight different colored potions at the buyable chemistry set. 
=====Yellow potion=====
This can be crafted with The "Concoctanation Station" chemistry set, and it reverses the Sim's personality. The reversal works simply on the 10-point scale; if he had 3 Nice points, he now has 7 Nice points and so on. For example, a playful Sim who drinks this potion will become a serious Sim, and a nice Sim who drinks it may become a mean Sim. Luckily, if the Sim makes another yellow potion and drinks it, they will get their lost personality back.
=====Red potion=====
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. If the Sim has a partner, they will get jealous and slap the Sim's lover across the face.
=====Blue potion=====
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=====
This potion can be crafted with The "Concoctanation Station" chemistry set, and it will decrease all of the Sim's motives at 25%. It is recommended not to let Sims drink this potion, as they may die shortly if their mood is low enough.
=====Orange potion=====
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=====
This potion can be crafted with The "Concoctanation Station" chemistry set, and it will create an 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 a reversed personality, opposite of the actual Sim's, and will do other things that Sims do in a bad mood, such as grouchily complaining, and if the actual Sim has made gnomes, the clone will kick a gnome in anger, but sometimes that will blow up the gnome and knock the Sim off their feet. The clone may even take the original Sim's child away as if it were a neighbor and disappear forever.
=====Purple potion=====
This potion can be crafted with The "Concoctanation Station" chemistry set, and it will transform the Sim into a monster. When this happens, the Sim cannot be controlled or interacted with. 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 finds an easel.
==The Sims 2 ==
=== Medicine and viruses===
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.

;Lycanthropic-B
:Cures Lycantrophy
; Plantophic-C

;Enchanted Essence of Cur Tails
: This can be crafted by Evil Witches and temporarily changes the Niceness of the Sim who drinks one to 0.
;Love Potion Number 8.5
:Increases a Sims attractiveness by +50 for three hours, provided that the Sim does not drink another potion during that time. The name is a reference to the movie Love Potion #9, which features a potion with the same name as well the version "#8", both sold by the Matchmaker.
;ReNuYu Porta-Chug
:The ReNuYu Porta-Chug appears in the inventory of pre-Nightlife Sims, townies, NPCs, and CAS Sims. When a Sim drinks it, the player can change the turn-ons and turn-offs of said Sim.

;Love Struck Potion
:If used on someone, the two Sims will automatically fall in love with each other.
;Elixir of Life
:This potion will reset the current life stage of the player's Sim to the start of the life stage.
; Penguin Party
:This potion will make penguins appear around the player's Sim, boosting his or her social motive.
In The House of Tuzu, there is an unnamed potion that ages a Sim one life stage down and resets them to the first day of that life stage. For example, an elder that drinks the potion will become an adult at the start of their life stage.
==The Sims 3==
Potions return in The Sims 3: Generations and by buying Lord Vladimir's Magic Cauldron from The Sims 3 Store. 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 the Age Freeze potion and Young Again for Pets can only be obtained through lifetime rewards. Sims can also brew elixirs in The Sims 3: Supernatural, which have even broader and more varied effects than potions.
===The Sims 3: World Adventures===
World Adventures has one non-craftable potion: Special merchants in all vacation sub-worlds will sell Potion of Liquid Courage for 40 ancient coins, if the Sim has visa level 1 or higher for that sub-world. Drinking it will temporarily replace one of the Sim's traits with Brave.
===The Sims 3: Late Night===
Vampire Sims can go to a science lab to "Purchase Vampirism Cure". After a short while inside the lab, they will come out again, with this potion in their inventory. Drinking it, will turn the Vampire Sim into a Human Sim.
Only Vampire Sims can buy them, but there are no limits to how many they can buy if they can afford them. Only Vampire Sims can drink the elixir either.
=== The Sims 3: Generations===
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. Only Sims aged children and older are allowed to make and drink potions.

===The Sims 3 Store===
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:
Potion 	Ingredients 	Effect
Compulsive Hygiene Potion	x3 any metals 	The Sim wants to clean themselves: brush teeth, wash hands etc.
Sleeping Potion 	x3 any fish 	Sim's energy decreases and they want to sleep
Emotion Potion 	x3 any gems 	The Sim wants to romantically socialize: hug, kiss, etc.
Vanity Potion 	x3 any butterflies	The Sim wants to check themselves in mirrors and change clothes
Hunger Potion 	x3 any plants 	Sim's hunger decreases faster and they want to eat. SimBots (Scrap Reserves) and Vampires (Thirst) are not affected.

Teleportation Potion 	 	After drinking this potion, the Sim rises and may teleport anywhere
Sparkle Potion 	 	Sim's hunger, hygiene and fun needs fills up to 100% and the house cleans itself
After drinking the potion, the Sim will get the moodlet "Curiously Compulsive" (+15 Mood, 3 Hours) or "Potent Potables" (+30 Mood, 3 Hours), and during this moodlet, it affects functions.
The cauldron also has a "conjure" feature. By choosing conjure, a new, random item will appear in the cauldron. You can place appearing items from cauldron into the Sim's inventory and choose conjure 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.
==The Sims 4==
In The Sims 4 Sims can buy special potions buy using Satisfaction Points. These potions can change the emotions of Sims, revert their age and make them fat or thin.
Children can also make potions as well, with the "Junior Wizard Starter Set". Children with level 7 mental skill can make the "Emotion Potion" and at level 10, they can make the "Stink Drink".
