Potion

Sims are able to drink potions, and in some cases make them. It is a feature present in The Sims: Livin' Large, The Sims 2 and The Sims 3: Generations. Most potions change the life state, personality or mood of a Sim when drunk. In The Sims 2, some potions can be used to revert a life state.

In The Sims 2, Obedience Trainers, Garden Club members and Witches sell Lycanthropic-B, Plantophic-C and Witchbegone-E potions respectively. The Gypsy Matchmaker sells all of these, as well as Vamprocillin-D and Love Potion number 8.5.

Witches in The Sims 2: Apartment Life and Sims with The "Concoctanation Station" chemistry set or a SimSanto Inc. Biotech Station can also craft potions.

Medicine & viruses
The white potion made with The "Concoctanation Station" chemistry set and the medicine made with the SimSanto Inc. Biotech Station can cure or cut down the resting time needed to be cured of a sickness, respectively. However, a Sim with low logic skill and/or who is in a bad mood can create a virus instead.

Personality changing potions

 * 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.

Other potions

 * ReNuYu Porta-Chug
 * The ReNuYu Porta-Chug is a drink that all Sims created before The Sims 2: Nightlife have in their inventory. When a Sim drinks it the player can change the turn-ons and turn-offs of said Sim.

The Sims 3
Potions are re-featured with The Sims 3: Generations. Sims are able to create them through 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. It gives 25% discount price on all future potions. Note that the Age Freeze potion can only be obtained through lifetime rewards.
