Potion or Rainbow Gem

Ive only turned a Sim’s Imaginary Friend real once. Pretty sure it was via the potion. It was pretty cool actually because the Sim and their Friend became lovers, which was sweet. (I might utilise that option more often, actually). I need to focus more on the Logic skill, I guess!!

Same, for me, too. My IFs become the future Spouse of my Sims that they are the IF for ;P

I didn't vote as there was not an option to stuff them in the family inventory and delete them from the game, or mod them out. >:) Those IF's are creepy!

Just keep them in their Human Form, after making them real.

The one constructive thing I wanted to add is if you want rainbow gems, get a dog and teach it to hunt. I get lots of them and all the other gems, too.

The rainbow gem method I found time consuming and in the end the potion is used anyway. It takes such a long time to find the rainbow gem. Then have to hand it into the Science building. I can't remember all the things that have to be done but it is a string of things and in the end the sim has to buy the potion from the Science center. It costs over 4,000 simoleans. I think this is paid via the sale of the rainbow gem to the science center.

I wanted to ask, is it true that trading (Gifting) a Rainbow Gem from one Sim to the Child Sim doesn't count as "acquiring" a Rainbow Gem for the Opportunity? I've heard that but haven't been able to test it out and is another reason I prefer the Potion over the Gem. No issues with transferring (Gifting) the Potion from one Sim to a Child Sim.
