Trademark and Copyright Information VII. Contact Information VIII. Version History 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. IV.Genie Effects All work and no play?
