Recent Updates
Update 8/9/20
Added Italian translation from ISY

This mod includes a series of changes in order to rework several aspects of Spellcaster potions in Realm of Magic, particularly the recipes to make them. This makes potion brewing more challenging and entertaining, as well as gives your Sims an actual reason to develop a magical garden, explore the world, develop several skills, pick up certain perks, and upkeep their house.

Features
  • Recipe Overhaul -
    Drastically changes the recipes for all potions; all potions now require at least three different items and higher level potions require rarer materials. Certain high level potions also require materials only found in Granite Falls or Selvadorada so your Sims will need to travel to find them.
    Additionally, appropriate sale prices have been added to all potions so that they can be sold in retail stores or from the personal inventory. The prices are based on the ingredients used and the Spellcaster level required to make the potion. Gathering the ingredients will net your Sim a healthy profit, but buying them from stores might not always been a sound business decision.
    See the table below for a list of all the new recipes and their sale prices.
  • Recipe Overhaul (RoM Only) -
    Same as the above, but suited for players without the Outdoor Retreat and/or Jungle Adventure game packs who still want the rest of the recipe overhaul.
  • Potion Shop Addon -
    Adds most new ingredients to the potion ingredient shops in Caster's Alley and increases the number of items available each day. Rarer items have less chance to appear, and particularly rare items needed for master level potions will still not appear.
  • No Overpowered Free Samples -
    Master level recipes no longer give out free samples when your Sims learn the recipe. (Because honestly who needs more than one Immortality potion?)
  • Plentiful Needs Nerf -
    The Potion of Plentiful Needs now only solves physical needs (ie. Hunger, Energy, Vampire Thirst, etc). Sims will now need to solve their Fun, Social, and Hygiene needs and can't simply chug potions all day.

Each bullet point on the list is a separate package file. You can install just one, two, or all three as you desire.

Installation
Standard installation. Unzip the .rar file and add the package files for whichever features you like to your mod folder or a subfolder.

Requirements
This mod requires the Realm of Magic game pack first and foremost, and the Outdoor Retreat and Jungle Adventure game packs in order to collect all the ingredients.

Overrides/Conflicts
This mod will conflict with icemunmun's Cauldron Potions Cost Money mod as well as any mod which edits the potion recipes. For a full list of XML conflicts, see below:
