Subtle Version of Youth Potion

musteni

Could we have an item which helps sims to become younger, but only by few days? The youth potion in game has a very drastic effect resetting the whole aging bar. This will cause some serious imbalance, unless you make the whole family to drink potions. I would really love to have a subtle way to allow my sim few extra days

Agreed.

Oh yes please :O

On the contrary, I want my sims to have ability to change to the previous age stage, like gene wish in TS 2 (cut, but brought back with mods).

Technically the youth potion actually is falsely advertised; it doesn't actually set back your youth, just your longevity. A REAL potion of youth would set your lifespan to the previous lifestage, while a potion of longevity would set it back to the beginning of the current lifestage.

I'm interested in a potion that would work similarly as Elixir of Life in TS2 (giving three extra days). Setting a sim back to a previous lifestage might be interesting too, but not something I would use regularly.

Yes. Going back a few days on the age-bar would be very useful for me.

Maybe witches could brew something like this one day with alchemy. Or a reward from the store.

Technically, alchemy and witchcraft/magic are totally separate things. They're just complementary to each other. This kind of thing should've been part of the already existent Herbalism skill tbh. It would actually prompt far more uses for it.

I don't think that they will update an already existing skill with new potions but yes, it would have been nice to have something like this in Herbalism.

As far as alchemy and witchcraft goes, it was more like me expressing a wish to see it in the game just somehow. They can put it in any kind of crafting-thing and I will use it. Or as a reward from the store if they prefer that.

Well the few times they did change a skill was only to accommodate a new pack, like making Photography skill base game now in preparation for Cats & Dogs. If some kind of Magic/Witch/Crafting/Anything pack comes along that accommodates potions like that then they could certainly update the Herbalism skill to accommodate. But I don't expect it during any other time but just before a pack.

Hmm.... are you doing a "Well, actually"? Humor me a bit if you like

Yes. I am aware of the fact that skills and objects can be updated. It has happened before, the woodworking table got a update after Outdoor Retreat

We will see what happens with the "the subtle youth potion" or "the subtle longevity potion".

Aye, the youth potion in TS4 is a lie much like the cake from the cow plant. (bit off topic).
I'd like to see a real potion of youth myself. The current one just aging them back to the beginning of that life state is a bit annoying because even if their an adult about to age to an elder it just delays that aging by a few days or depending on how long their life span is set.

Agreed.

I’d also like to see the life fruit from ts3 back.
