So not only does this potion fail to freeze ageing, but it also does this? Wow.
Yup. Two fails for the price of one! xD
What a bargain!
Indeed it is! :P Seriously, this is definitely a disappointment, it's no big deal chugging those potions which reset your current age, and it beats paying 1500 happy-points for youth potions, but I was hoping the immortal potion would actually freeze it. Seems kinda pointless, really.
It allows you to preserve favourite elders. In my game, they drop dead far too easily from overexertion or emotional deaths like hysteria or mortification. Plus I am never certain of when they are going to die, which can be upsetting to grandchildren and families. I am looking forward to having a few ancient crones and aged wizards running around my game. My elder population is always too low.
I thought the potion of immortality only stopped sims dying of old age, so eiders could still die of overexertion and emotional deaths?
Regardless, a potion of immortality which froze ageing would still allow you to preserve your elders so long as they took it before the age bar completely filled up.
But I see your point, it isn’t completely useless. I just wish there was also a potion to freeze aging.
It is mostly just for convenience on my part. I play a big nr of households and this can be useful in the way that it allows me to keep tabs on a few special sims so that they don’t die when I am looking the other way playing another household. I could theoretically just find them when they just turned elder but then I have to go past manage households and just look for townies who aged up every now and then. It would be nice to just feed them a potion once even when young and cross it of the list. Just fire and forget. So, total convenience on my part when playing a whole town.
@SiliClone You are awesome! Thank you :)
