The Sims 3 Guide to Alchemy

Hello, everybody! Today, I'll be giving you some tips and tricks on how to improve your alchemy skill and succeed in your self-employment. Alchemy came with Supernatural and has been a favorite skill of many since Supernatural was released. Sometimes, though, the skill can be quite confusing (I know, I've been there!) so let's jump right into learning what the elixirs your Alchemist makes can do.

Elixirs have great powers. They can spark a friendship between two Sims, turn them into a Vampire, or even set a hive of angry bees on them! Elixirs need special ingredients that your Sim can find at Aleister's Elixirs and Sundries or even around town in gardens, on the ground, etc.

To start researching Alchemy, buy the Alchemy station in Buy mode (you can find it under Hobbies or in the Supernatural collection folder). Then, simply click the station and choose "Research Alchemy" which will improve your skill and help your Sim will learn new recipes for elixirs.

The Philosopher's Stone

If you clear your list of opportunities after you get to level 10, you will get a variety of little quests to find various items. After this is complete, you will receive the magical Philosopher's stone which can do two very cool things. One of them is called transmuting which you do by paying around $100 simoleons and allows you to turn a Sim into a Gold Ingot, though if this process doesn't work the Sim will be killed. If you have a death flower handy, then you can bring killed Sims back to life and keep the statue (worth $60,000 simoleons!) but if not, you will only get the statue. 

The next thing you can do with the stone is forcing a ghost to join your family. This action is called "Binding" a ghost and it will work on any ghost around town. 

Here is a complete list of the elixirs in this game:

Ad Nauseum (Level 1) - you will need an insect - this potion gives the Sim subjected the "Nauseous" moodlet, lasting for two hours and causing them to puke.

Vial of Bliss (Level 1) - you will need an item of food - fills your Sims fun and social bars up by 50%.

Flask of Angry Bees (Level 2) - you will need Beeswax and Honey - throw this potion at any Sim for a hive of angry bees to attack them.

Vial of Enlightenment (Level 3) - your Sim will need a mushroom and a gem (or gem powder) - if your Sim drinks this before going to bed they will advance through a random skill while sleeping.

Now, after going through all of these great elixirs, let's visit some questions people have about the Alchemy skill.

Q: How do I turn my cursed Sim from a Supernatural back to a human? 

A: You can cure any Supernatural by simply mixing up or buying a Potent Cure Elixir. If you want to mix it up, your Alchemist will need to be a level 7.

Q: Where can I find ingredients for my potions and elixirs? 

A: You can find ingredients for your elixirs around town (in the park, at fishing spots, etcetera) but you can also buy them at the Alchemy store. If you have a Fairy or another Sim that gardens, they can also grow you ingredients. Also,  buy the bee box and you can harvest honey and beeswax, which lots of elixirs use. If you're still having bad luck finding ingredients around town, you can go to buy mode, type testingcheatsenabled true into the cheat bar (get that by pressing Command, Shift, C) and then type buydebug, go into the Sort By Function tab and a box with a little question mark will pop up and after you click it, you will see tabs for Gems, Plants, Fish, Seeds, (etcetera) spawners.

Q: How do I make money in the Alchemy profession?

A: If your Sim has extra ingredients (like Beeswax from your bee box or plants from your Sim's garden) and elixirs, they can consign them at the Alchemy store. You won't make the money for them right away, though, as you have to wait for some other Sim to buy them (which is how consigning works) and then you will get your money. Sims will often buy consigned items for sometimes double the sell price so you get more money for the wait, resulting in more "Job Experience".

The Sims 3 Store: Grandpa's Grove Overview + Free Download!

Hello, everyone! Today I will be doing an overview of Grandpa's Grove, a venue from The Sims 3 Store. It currently costs 1,710 but there will be a free download included at the end of this post. As most of you probably know, this venue isn't the newest as it came out in November of 2013, but I still wanted to do an overview.

As you can see, this house–yes, house–is gorgeous! The area around the house is beautiful as well, thanks to Grandpa's tractor. As said before, this is a house. EA releasing residential lots is very rare, they usually release community lots. I think that they made a good choice this time!

Leaving us with this description: "Every Sim should be able to experience the joy of spending time at Grandpa's Grove. With tractor hayrides, orange trees, crop farming, and new fall clothing, it is a playland for Sims both young and old", it is apparent that they were aiming for another farming-themed set. The venue comes with 24 new items, including Grandpa's Grove Tractor, the new premium content. I will include the complete list later on in this post.

"Tired of watering, fertilizing and harvesting all of your plants and trees by hand? Lay down a dirt road near your crops and put the tractor to work! Then, after a hard day of farming, why don't you give the kiddos a fun hay ride?" 

If your Sim loves farming and you have expanded the area in which they plant their crops, this will come in very handy. Here is a list of everything your Sims can do with this tractor!

• Increase your gardening skill by planting your crops and using Grandpa's Grove Tractor to water, fertilize, de-weed and harvest!

• Customize the layout of your grove with varied dirt road pieces to park and drive the tractor.

• Create a full-size orchard, then harvest your crops up to the tractors capacity for a quick and efficient harvest. 

• A hay ride is a favorite with Sims from Toddlers to Elders! Young Sims can shout "Hay Now!" and request a ride from a nearby Sim. 

New moodlets: Hay Now!

Who needs a horse for a ride when you have heavy machinery?

Now, I will be going through the new items included with the set. Some pictured above*

Complete list:

• Grandpa's Grove Tractor

• Country Charm Bookshelf

• Quilted Chair*

• Country Charm Wall Clock

• Snug Rug*

• Jar O' Flowers*

• Wooden Rocking Horse*

• Hodgepodge Frames

• Country Charm Sofa*

• Country Charm Coffee Table*

• China Display End Table*

• Country Charm End Table

• Falling For Fall Women's Outfit

• One Button to Rule Them All Women's Outfit*

Transmutation - Bright Gold (Supernatural) - when your Sim attempts the spell of the Philosopher's Stone but the spinning of the plumbob goes awry, it will turn your Sim into gold.

Freezing - Icy Blue (Seasons) - if your Sim freezes and no one bothers to heat them back up, they with harden and die.

Cow Plant - Magenta (Store) - the plant will simply gobble your Sim up.

Blunt Force Trauma [Vending Machine] - Light Red (University Life) - when your Sim is just a little bit too broke and tries just a little bit too hard, they end up causing the vending machine to fall back on them.

Blunt Force Trauma [Murphy Bed] - Light Red (University Life) - when your Sim pulls down the Murphy bed, there's always that chance it'll give away and crush them.

Ranting - Lime Green (University Life) - your Sim can choke from ranting too hard in which case they will die.

Running out of Air - Turquoise (Island Paradise) - from scuba-diving.

Dehydration [Mermaids only] - Yellow/Gold (Island Paradise) - when your Mermaid spends too much time out of the water and in the sun, they will dry up.

Shark Attack - Purple/Red (Island Paradise) - when your Sim is caught in a shark attack, the sharks devour the Sim whole, leaving the bones behind.

Pit Monster - Blue (Store) - if your Sim is taken by the tentacles of the Pit Monster, start planning their funeral.

Jetpack Fail - Orange (Into the Future) 

Time Anomaly - Brown (Into the Future)

There is one ghost that is not linked to any death which is the Hologram ghost. If you have Supernatural installed, you can choose this form when creating a ghost in CAS.

After your Sim dies, their remains can be brought to the Science Facility where they may be revived.

The Sims 3 Guide to Gardening

Hello, everyone! Are you interested in making a gardening-enthused Sim but don't know where to start? This guide will help you plant things from apple trees to death flowers, watermelons to forbidden fruit, and maui beans to glow orbs. If you have any questions on how to garden, this guide will answer them.

EA has added on a lot to the gardening aspect of the game through expansion packs, including World Adventures, Supernatural and even University Life. How they have added on:

World Adventures:  This expansion pack brings 10 new plants to game play–which you will see them listed later on–and even a new way to interact with the fruit you have grown; nectar-making! [Nectar-making skill post coming soon]. If your Sim is a gardener, it will be easy to make prize nectar and improve your nectar-making skill. 

Supernatural: This expansion pack introduces 11 new plants to game play which you will see listed later on. The gardening skill goes hand-in-hand with the Alchemy skill and is also extremely helpful to Fairies who have a positive effect on plants and are known for their luscious gardens. 

University Life: This expansion pack has added a new occult life state, related to gardening. PlantSims! They also introduce the Forbidden Fruit which will turn a Sim into a PlantSim four hours after consumption. They can be cured before turning if they pay $3,000 simoleons. 

How to start gardening: If you want your Sim to garden, you should give them the Green Thumb, Loves the Outdoors, and Eco-Friendly traits, right off the bat. It will help them gain skill level more quickly and they will understand the concepts of gardening better. Next, switch on the TV and have them watch the gardening channel, Got Garden. Head to the bookstore and purchase the gardening books: Gardening Vol.1: The Watercan Chronicles, Gardening Vol.2: Odor Free Fertilizer, and Gardening Vol.3: Gardening to Riches. Reading these books while sitting near the TV–switched onto the gardening channel–can improve your skill faster.

Traits in Depth

Green-thumbs are the best gardeners. They find solace and comfort amongst their garden and can revive plants in the worst of conditions.

Loves The Outdoors

More Tips

If you want to make easy money in the gardening profession, grow money trees. The money bags are valuable and your Sims will soon be rolling in cash that they can then donate to charities for endangered species and dwindling rain forests!

There are two Lifetime Rewards that your Sims can purchase to help them with their gardens as well. The first one is the "Super Green Thumb" reward for 20,000 Lifetime Reward Points. It will help your Sim grow higher quality plants which are much more valuable. Then, there is the "Collection Helper" which you can purchase for 40,000 points. It helps your Sim find all the seeds around your neighborhood.

Hello, fellow Simmers! Today, I'll be bringing you an overview of the Prism Art Studio from The Sims 3 Store! This set sells for 1,900 SimPoints but can be found for free at the end of this post.

The studio is modern with a splash of classic, hence the stained glass windows and simple wood pillars. The hallway that connects the two main building is such a nice touch! The courtyard, situated between all three buildings is very classic and beautiful, with plenty of brick mosaics, luscious shrubbery and even a clear, bubbling fountain. It's enough to give any Sim a positive moodlet!

Now, I'll go through a list of items that comes with this venue (some pictured above)*

• Artisan's Glassblowing and Jewelry Making Station

• Dressmaker Mannequin*

• Basket o' Frames*

• Molded Bust

• Jewelry Tree*

• The Organizer's Wall Shelf

• The Artist's End Table

• Artist Apron - Hers

• Artist Apron - His

• L-Shaped Staircase

• Prism Art Studio

• Self-expression Easel

Now, I'm going to go through all the skills, moodlets, etc. that come with this venue. 

Skills: 

• Glassblowing

• Jewelry-making 

• Perfume-making

If your Sim is an Artisan (or glassblower), they can create an array of things from glass gnomes to stained glass windows.  Here is a complete list of objects that your glassblowing Sims can make:

Glass Objects:

• Dancing Gnome (Beginner)

• Utensil Receptacle (Beginner)

• Vases (Beginner)

• Fighting Gnome (Level 1)

• Scared Gnome (Level 1)

• Partition (Level 2)

• Dragon Egg (Level 3)

• Stained Glass Window (Level 5)

• Stained Glass Arch Window (Level 5)

• Relaxing Gnome (Level 6) 

• Chess Table (Level 7)

• Menus de vilo (Level 9)

Jewelry-making Sims can make lots of lovely pieces, including coin bracelets, pearl necklaces and stone earrings. Here is a complete list of objects that your jewelry-making Sims can make: 

Jewelry Pieces:

• Stretched Coin Bracelet (Beginner)

• Sunburst Earrings (Beginner)

• Red Hot Necklace (Level 1)

• Triple Ring Bracelet (Level 1)

• Ancient Artifact Necklace (Level 2)

• Coin Bracelet (Level 2)

• Braided Bracelet (Level 3)

• Double Braided Necklace (Level 3)

• Turquoise Swirl Necklace (Level 4)

• Turquoise Stone Necklace (Level 6)

Perfume-making Sims can craft a few different perfumes, including:

Perfumes:

• Woohoo Panther Perfume (Level 1)

• Vanity Perfume (Level 2)

• Once Forgotten Perfume (Level 3)

• Amour Perfume (Level 4)

• Bliss Perfume (Level 8)

Now, here is a list of all the moodlets included in this package:

Your Sim will get this moodlet after  they attempt to torch the glass and fail, while trying to mend the torch.

After your Sim succeeds in creating their piece, though, they gain this moodlet.

Sims will gain this moodlet after using Woohoo Panther, the perfume that Level 1 perfume-making Sims can craft. It will cause them to vomit in random places (not the toilet, like when your Sims have the Nauseous moodlet). 

Using the Vanity perfume will cause your Sim to be more sociable and spark up conversations with Sims that are close by. 

                                  

If someone close to your Sim passes away, the negative moodlet will disappear and your Sim won't think about the death.

After your Sims spray themselves with the Amour perfume, other Sims find them more attractive.

The Bliss perfume will put your Sim in a happy mood.

Thank you for reading this overview and I hope you decide to add this to your town and let your Sims indulge in the new skills included!
