Learning[]
Acting skill is available for Sims aged teen and older.
Sims can build up the acting skill by practicing in front of a mirror or a microphone. Sims can also read skill books on the subject. As this skill increases, Sims will be able to perform scenes in public, and for tips to make extra Simoleons.
With High School Years installed, if the player chose to follow while at school, this skill can also be built by attending Art class every Wednesdays, along with Painting and Photography skills.
At Level 4, the The Trouper's Looking Glass item is unlocked, which helps Sims learn the acting skill much faster.

The Sims 3: Supernatural[]
Alchemy is a skill introduced in The Sims 3: Supernatural and Sims can craft potions called elixirs in alchemy stations. Both supernaturals and normal Sims can learn this skill, from teenager and older. Sims who have this skill can employ themselves as alchemists, a self-employed career.
Guide[]
To start learning the alchemy skill, buy an Aleister's Alchemy Station from Buy mode under Hobbies & Skill. It is a 3x2 object, so find a space that is large enough to place the alchemy station in. It is preferable to have at least 1 square of open space around the station. Once placed, Sims can now start learning the skill.
There are three ways to learn the skill. One is to use the alchemy station and Research Alchemy. Sims can simultaneously build the alchemy skill and discover an elixir from researching. Another way is to buy alchemy skill books. They can be bought at bookstores or at an elixir consignment shop in the town. Elixirs are not discovered automatically as the skill is improved, instead they must be learned either by researching or reading their recipe books. Sims can also attend an alchemy class at the Vault of Antiquity for §100.
Name | Level | Page | Price |
---|---|---|---|
Alchemy Vol. 1: Alchemy Basic | 0 | 199 | §50 |
Alchemy Vol. 2: Secret Motions and Super Potions | 3 | 204 | §500 |
Alchemy Vol. 3: Omnimustericon: The Ultimate Book of Shadows | 6 | 225 | §750 |
The first elixir Sims will learn to mix from their research is the Vial of Bliss. If they improve the skill by researching alchemy, they will learn to create more elixirs on the way.
To make an elixir, Sims can Mix Elixir at the alchemy station. A table-like window will appear and you can choose what elixir will be mixed. All the ingredients required for the elixir must be in the Sim's inventory. To check what he needs, you can find them at the "Ingredients" column of the window.
A Sim's attempt to mix an elixir may fail. The ingredients will be refunded and are not lost, however the Sim may gain a negative moodlet such as Nauseous or Toadified!
If a Sim successfully mixes an elixir, he/she can:
- Drink it for him/herself.
- Throw it onto other Sims.
- Mix it into "Mysterious Drink". Requires Alchemy level 5 or higher.
- Place it on an Elixir Display Case for display. There are two different elixir display cases added in the pack.
- Sell it at an Elixir Consignment Store.
Finding ingredients can be a tough job. Here are some tips to let a Sim get the ingredients, even the ingredients that are hard to get:
- If a Sim has the Gatherer trait, he/she has a better chance of finding rare ingredients that he/she needs, making the process of finding faster.
- It is useful to have a Sim with Fishing and Gardening skills at the highest level (10), so ingredients may be acquired quickly and easily.
- A Sim can find a werewolf. Werewolves can help Sims to find collectables they are looking for easier and faster. He/she must be friends with the werewolf before asking the werewolf for helping him/her to find the collectables. The werewolf will then Hunt Solo for collectables.
- Sims' pets can also help find the collectables they need. Pets must be installed for this to be available.
- Sims can buy some ingredients at the elixir consignment shop.
At level 5 of the Alchemy skill, the Sim gains an ability to mix elixirs into drinks. The resulting product is a drink in water glass named Mysterious Drink. If the Sim who mixed the elixir into drink drinks it, he/she gets a negative "Prank Backfire!" moodlet, regardless of whether the elixir has positive or negative effect.
At level 6 of the Alchemy skill, for every elixir a Sim mixes, he/she has a chance to produce 2-3 bottles at one mix.
There are seven elixirs that require a Sim to buy Alchemy Recipes from the bookstore or the elixir consignment shop and read them so that he/she can mix these elixirs.

The Sims 4: Realm of Magic[]
Alchemy is a skill reintroduced as one of the four magic styles in The Sims 4: Realm of Magic, and only spellcasters can concoct magical potions and elixirs with a cauldron.
Overview[]
Alchemy returns in The Sims 4: Realm of Magic as one of the four magic styles spellcasters can specialize in, where they can learn 16 potions. Crafted potions can be sold directly from a Sim's inventory, on sales tables (included in City Living, Jungle Adventure and Eco Lifestyle), in retail businesses (from Get to Work), or on Plopsy (from Nifty Knitting Stuff).
Spellcasters can work alone or in groups of up to three spellcasters. Unlike previous games, brewing potions run the risk of cursing Sims. Sims also have a chance of being cursed from drinking a Potion of Questionable Contents. Curses last indefinitely until cured, and Sims can receive up to three curses at a time.
Ingredients[]
Alchemy ingredients can be collected around worlds while gardening, fishing, hunting for frogs and digging for treasure; they can be purchased from a market stall in The Magic Realm; or they can be won in magic duels. If the player owns Cats & Dogs, and their Sim has bound a pet as a familiar, the pet can also be sent off to forage for ingredients.
Perks[]
There is a branch of five alchemy-related perks that spellcasters can choose from as they level up in rank. The following perks are listed from lowest-rank to highest-rank:
Name | Description |
---|---|
Blender Arm | Potion crafting speed significantly increased. |
Frugal Combination | Chance on potion creation that all of the required ingredients will not be used. |
A Little Extra Chemistry | Potions crafted by the Sim are surprisingly tasty and have an additional small benefit triggered when the potion is consumed. |
Mix Master | Extra servings will be in the cauldron each time a potion is successfully created. |
Potent Potables | Effects on all potions are increased and/or last significantly longer. Sim can now Hex their Potions to have them always fail. |
