The Sims 3: Generations

In “The Sims 3: Generations” expansion pack, there were no new skills added. However, The Sims 3 chemistry set was added which helps Sims learn the logic skill and also gives Sims a new hobby to do with creating potions. There are no potions classes, so just buy a new chemistry set table and place it on your Sim’s lot to get started.

The Sims 3 Chemistry – Logic Skills Required

Sims with all types of traits enjoy making potions in “The Sims 3.” Sims that are child aged and older are able to discover and make potions. Some of the potions are even great for Sims to use to prank other Sims in the game. Kids especially love to pull off pranks, so this may be the only type of potions that they really want to make for awhile. As they grow up, they will still remember how to make the potions they discovered as children, so if they have time when kids to learn this new talent, go for it!

Sims won’t catch on fire, but they will get “Singed” sometimes. It is handy to have a bath nearby for them to get into so they can get cleaned off and start over.

Learning the logic skill (at least a few levels) should be done before really getting started trying to discover a potion. Sims that don’t have the logic skill capped out will earn logic skill points when discovering a potion and when making a potion they already learned.

Chemistry Potions

There are ten types of potions that a Sim can create. Mastering chemistry requires the Sim to have learned how to make all ten of these potions. Once they have discovered them all, they receive a 25% discount when making all of the potions in the future. This leads to a large discount on the pricier ones. At least the first potion they create of each is free!
