It should be named Potion of Eternity. To be immortal means to not suffer any grievous injury or death. To be eternal means to not die of old age but by other means.
Does the potion still allow a sim to die other ways besides old age?
Also does the rejuvenation potion keep them that age once, or do they have to constantly take it before the end of each cycle like the potion of youth in the aspiration store?
They continue to age so you'd have to take it again before their next birthday.
So basically it’s just the potion of youth from the rewards store recycled as I predicted. How disappointing. There really should be a potion to freeze aging altogether but that would involve actually making a NEW potion from scratch to do it... Not Maxis’ thing.
No, this is different.
You can take a potion of youth and still die of old age if you run out of it. If I understand this potion correctly then your sim will not die from old age.
Potion of youth: can die of old age
Potion of Immortality: cannot die of old age
There is a difference, I was still hoping for a freezing-age-potion but I guess the vampires are unique in that way.
@SilentKitty I was referring to the potion of rejuvenation (which CelSims, who I quoted, was talking about)
It would be cool to have a potion that gives your sim immortality like the Tolkein elves. So always young and won't die of old age, but can die by other means.

Thats.. what the immortality potion does x)
Edit: my bad i'm tired and missed the 'stay young' part
Useless potion. It doesn't stop aging.
Has anyone figured out what it does when it "fails"? It seems to me it just does nothing, no curse
If a rejuvenation potion fails then instead of resetting your current age to day 1 it moves your sim to the day before their age up birthday. I haven't had immortality fail yet so no clue on that one.

No, eternity mean always live forever, no matter whatever pain or not, death and decay can't touch it. Eternity and immortal almost same, but immortal almost same as eternity but can be changed imortal into mortal subject to death and decay.
Yes, I felt potion of immortality is near useless unless elder sims but useless for younger than elder, if people got tired, might well turn off age or become vampire. or keep drinking age of young (reward from points), or age away (science) or rejuvenation potion (spellcaster) to reset age to live forever (all 3 same thing, but not same path) Most easy way is vampire, second is spellcaster for those who don't want vampire, 3 is young from reward with from science job, cloneing for those who don't want vampire and spellcaster but normal sims or mermaid, and last and hardest of all is science age away, too long to get top 10 and collect resource, can't do that within sims' normal lifetime, maybe long lifetime, but not short and normal lifetime.

I’m afraid you have those the wrong way.
To be eternal means you live for eternity; hence you don’t age. It doesn’t mean you can’t die by other means. A lich for example would be immortal.
An immortal would be something like a god/deity. Yes, they probably wouldn’t age either (depending) but they are exempt from death. Because...they’re not mortal. They suffer no mortality (which is dying and where the naming for a mortal infliction/wound stems from). Immortal doesn’t necessarily mean celestial and both are not interchangeable. It honestly depends on folklore and mythology. But when it comes down to etymology, eternal means to not age/everlasting until otherwise.
Personally, I love that you get two separate potions for this! I adore the idea of having this old eternal crone figure who no one knows truly how old they are, And then you can have the eternally young sorcerer whose eyes are entirely too old!

I agree completely! Having it this way gives you options. If rejuvenation was eternal age freezing I'd be miffed they simply copied a vampire thing.

Meanwhile I’m miffed that the potion of rejuvenation does the exact same thing as the potion of youth from the rewards store at least the vampire age freezing thing isn’t actually a potion.
After drinking the immortal potion my sim now had a glowing infinity symbol in her neck (see avatar picture) that shows up from time to time. Is anyone else experiencing this, or is it a bug?

Yes me too!
I would rather have a few elders that are truly interesting running around then my game adding new ones just because it wanted more of them. Have created one such “special elder” who is a spellcaster so far, the next one will be a mermaid.
I like that this potion is different and gives another effect, would rather see another potion doing a age-freeze since I have figured out how to use this in a fun way in my saves.

Yes, I have this too, and it annoys the crud out of me. I want to know who on earth thought that this kind of animation that randomly shows up in the neck of your sim and then follows your sim around was a good idea -.-

2 days in fact. It just happened to one of my sims, ugh!

oh with my sim it was only for about a day, didn't stop them from practicing their magic though. And since I don't generally play with ghosts, it was nice having him try out the ghost skills for a change.
Maybe someone can explain this: my sims grandson resurrected his grandfather. Then he gave his grandfather the potion of immortality. This potion turned the grandfather into a ghost. Then the grandson gave his grandfather the potion of resurrection. Nothing happened. However, when the grandfather drank a glass of water . . . poof! Back to being "human" again. Say what??????
yeah I was kind of disappointed with the immortality potion I don't know if you use mods or not luckily someone created a mod there are different flavors of it True Immortal: Sims with the trait cannot die and will not age. - Only no age: They can still die.- Only immortal: They can still age and mod to remove the headline effect if you want a link to the modders page I'll link it

In a lot of lores spellcasters can live several hundred years but they often age at the same rate as mortals.
I am glad they're not the exact same as vampires. Vampires are gifted with Eternal youth at the cost of being a parasite that must feed off a host's blood, as well as an aversion to sunlight .
It makes sense that a witch would constantly need to reapply a potion to stay young forever.
That being said, I wish the potion of Rejuvenation turned anybody that drank it into a young adult. So if an elder drinks it they become young again.

It's fine! no harm done. Yes, eternally young and not dying of old age would be awesome. I still would like them to die by other means though.
Yes me too!
