The description for the Potion of Immortality says it prevents death from old age. Does anyone know if this prevents ageing at all? If a young adult Sim takes it, for instance, will they stay at YA, or will they continue ageing and just not die, staying at Elder forever?

I would prefer it if it freezes aging but I can still use the other one.Guessing that it doesn’t stop aging, just death at the end of it.

there's the Rejuvenation potion "A potion to allow a Sim to remain at their current age." I just wonder if that means forever or if it's like that other potion that just sets the clock back to the beginning of an age.

It's should be freeze of aging like vampires? unless they want make vampire only kind of freeze of age and immortal while Potion of Immortality gave you not die by aging but still age (it's would be decay, not true immortality) for gameplay balance, they might not want vampire become useless. I hopeful it's replace of Potion of Youth, but I guess not, it's make all Potion of Youth, Cow Plant and Age-Away serum useless while same time you had to keep drinking those, if you want stay young forever, making Potion of Immortality useless unless you want elder forever, that's make vampire seem a tempt to become vampire as vampire had both by stay young and live forever at cost of eating/drinking plasma.I guess it's all gameplay balance?

Elders not dying from old age would still be useful in my rotational save. I zip around and make sure that the ones I need for family trees are ok until it is their “death-by-flower-arrangement-day”. Yay!!If I can just give each sim one potion and then have a “npc-control-spree” then that would save me a lot of work.Will do some testing soon >:) :)

As I understand it, Potion of Immortality is for making elders live forever while continuing getting older.While the Rejuvenation Potion freezes age.I wonder if there is a way to turn back the effect of these potions. Drinking the cursed potions? BTW, do you realize that there are actually x2 amount of potions in the GP, because the cursed bottles make different effects? And there is a perk that allows cursing potions willingly.

I did not see a clear, verified reply here so forgive me if this is a repeat, but I confirmed that you continue to age up after consuming a potion of immortality.

My Lina's age was reset to the beginning of her young adult life when she drank the potion of rejuvenation, and she has not gained a day on the age bar since. I'll update if it changes, but I'm not seeing the continued aging like some of you are. For me, the potion of rejuvenation appears to have stopped my sim from aging further.

Maybe my sim is bugged?

Edit: Nevermind, it started moving again! I forgot that I changed the lifespans from normal to long, so it takes a lot longer for the aging bar to show any green age progression.

It really should freeze aging, because the perk to being immortal is living forever, death and decay is impossible. If you age that means you are not immortal.

Actually, immortality without youth is a common trope in fiction. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AgeWithoutYouth

Does the potion still allow a sim to die other ways besides old age?

Also does the rejuvenation potion keep them that age once, or do they have to constantly take it before the end of each cycle like the potion of youth in the aspiration store?

They continue to age so you'd have to take it again before their next birthday.

So basically it’s just the potion of youth from the rewards store recycled as I predicted. How disappointing. There really should be a potion to freeze aging altogether but that would involve actually making a NEW potion from scratch to do it... Not Maxis’ thing.

No, this is different.

You can take a potion of youth and still die of old age if you run out of it. If I understand this potion correctly then your sim will not die from old age.

Potion of youth: can die of old age

Potion of Immortality: cannot die of old age

There is a difference, I was still hoping for a freezing-age-potion but I guess the vampires are unique in that way.

It should be named Potion of Eternity. To be immortal means to not suffer any grievous injury or death. To be eternal means to not die of old age but by other means.

It would be cool to have a potion that gives your sim immortality like the Tolkein elves. So always young and won't die of old age, but can die by other means.

I saw in another thread that a fail on the immortality potion turns the SIm into a ghost for a limited period of time (I think a day?).

Personally, I love that you get two separate potions for this! I adore the idea of having this old eternal crone figure who no one knows truly how old they are, And then you can have the eternally young sorcerer whose eyes are entirely too old!

After drinking the immortal potion my sim now had a glowing infinity symbol in her neck (see avatar picture) that shows up from time to time. Is anyone else experiencing this, or is it a bug?

Yes me too!

I would rather have a few elders that are truly interesting running around then my game adding new ones just because it wanted more of them. Have created one such “special elder” who is a spellcaster so far, the next one will be a mermaid.

I like that this potion is different and gives another effect, would rather see another potion doing a age-freeze since I have figured out how to use this in a fun way in my saves.
