@PugLove888 @I’m sure it will come down to bad cc or a mod. In theory elders should be able to use the potion though? I can also try a new save and cheat up the sim with no cc/ mods and try there. Lots to do this weekend.
@buddhachick, sounds like an interesting weekend!🙂 Just keep us updated on what is happening with your Elder Spellcaster! 🧙😇
@PugLove888 I removed the Mods folder to my desktop and went into my save having issues. The Elder sim was still unable to brew the potion, in the Magic Realm or on her own lot. I then created a new game and cheated up the sim to the same rank/XP perks. He learned the spell and was able to create it on his home lot. I did not try to have anyone else in the Elders save learn the potion and create it.
Another update- Cheaty MCCheatSim was able to brew a Rejuvination potion as an elder, drink it, then brew and drink an immortality potion. This was after reinstalling mods/cc.
@buddhachick, thank yo so much for the updates! 😇 Using this information I think your problem is probably a glitch with just that one Sim, or that one lot, or that one Save Game file. 🤔
There are a couple of things you can do to try to reset your original Sim in order to try to reset it so that the glitch is gone.
1). If you haven't done so already, you can just delete the localthumbcache.package file in the game folder and then repair your game through Origin (like I instructed above).
2.) You can try to travel with your household to a lot like a park, gym, or museum and then travel back. This sometimes resets Sims.
3) You can try to move out of that house and either into a new one (probably not what you want to do), or else move out and then move back into the old house. (Still tedious -- you have to remember not to sell all the furniture so it goes to their Household Inventory so they can use it again when they move back... but then you have to place everything again! 😞 I would use this as a last resort.
4). you can use a cheat to reset your Sim. Bring up the Cheat Box like before and in it type testingcheats on and press Enter
Then with the Sim you want to reset being the Sim you have selected, Shift-click on that Sim and a pie menu will pop up. Choose Reset Object (Debug) from the pie menu and your Sim should reset. (You can then type testingcheats off and press Enter when you are finished.). 😉
Please update us on if any of these help you! 😇
