Re: RoM: Potions Always Coming Out Poor Quality

I would recommend using spells on the potions. Repairio will improve the quality and CopyPasto will make copies so you don't have to brew them anymore.

You'll probably need to use Repairio twice, first to go from Poor to Normal, then to go from Normal to Excellent. Once you have an Excellent potion, place it on a table and use CopyPasto until you reach overcharged or have the desired number of potions. Putting the potion on a table puts the duplicates directly into your personal inventory.

You might also consider putting points into the potion skill tree and/or completing the potion-making aspiration if you haven't already done that.

Yeah, what @JonaO703 and @Sketch793 said.
I think lots of things affect potion quality, including the potion's difficultly, the Sim's spellcaster level, their mood, whatever perks they do or don't have, etc., but you can Repario them. Until my Sim got all the potions perks I ended up routinely using Repario.
Also, yes, Copypasto for new stock, yes. (Er. Unless you set up the shop with the intention of giving her a reason to brew.)

@xochiquetzl_xkvn I think it could be a bug. I have 2 virtuoso spellcaster sims. One has been a spellcaster since ROM released and still he is my best spellcaster. He purchased every perks and he ha d NO problem with brewing excellent potions any time.
Recently, I got a new sim from other simmer, and I leveled him up to the virtuoso level. He mostly purchased magic perks but not all though.
I asked them brew the exactly same perk purging potions. My own spellcaster surprisingly made normal quality of 6 bottles. So I asked him to make that one more time in the more expensive cauldron and made normal quality again. As a result, S sim made one time 6 bottles of normal quality, perk purging potion and my G sim made 12 bottles of normal quality, perk purging potion. They are all virtuoso. I let them make the potions at the magic place where the sages are working.

Oh I tried to brew the potions at home, and all of them are turned out to excellent quality now.
