Potion of Immortality?

As I understand it, Potion of Immortality is for making elders live forever while continuing getting older.
While the Rejuvenation Potion freezes age.

Thank you! Looks like it's the Rejuvenation Potion I'll be spamming for my favourites, then! (Lemons, no problem, valerian root, that's one of the new ones, alabaster... oof.)

Or still same old same, clone it to go faster rather than just create all over again with rejuvenations.

Gallay saved before drinking potion of immortality, I think Potion of immortality is permanent, after all it's immortality=permanent livings. I think other way is delete that sims with immortality if player want to get rid of, or kill that sim other than age. Or better yet don't use Potion of immortality lightly

It will be interesting to learn the limits to the potion. Is it just old age or fire, exhaustion and drowning too.

Time will tell :smile:

The description says it prevents death by old age. I assume that means sims can still die of exhaustion etc.

Here's hoping that my flower-arrangements-of-doom still work :#

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.

@SilentKitty I was referring to the potion of rejuvenation (which CelSims, who I quoted, was talking about)

Ahh ?

Useless potion. It doesn't stop aging.
Has anyone figured out what it does when it "fails"? It seems to me it just does nothing, no curse

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.

No, eternity mean always live forever, no matter whatever pain or not, death and decay can't touch it. Eternity and immortal almost same, but immortal almost same as eternity but can be changed imortal into mortal subject to death and decay.

Yes, I felt potion of immortality is near useless unless elder sims but useless for younger than elder, if people got tired, might well turn off age or become vampire. or keep drinking age of young (reward from points), or age away (science) or rejuvenation potion (spellcaster) to reset age to live forever (all 3 same thing, but not same path) Most easy way is vampire, second is spellcaster for those who don't want vampire, 3 is young from reward with from science job, cloneing for those who don't want vampire and spellcaster but normal sims or mermaid, and last and hardest of all is science age away, too long to get top 10 and collect resource, can't do that within sims' normal lifetime, maybe long lifetime, but not short and normal lifetime.

I just create https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-and-Feedback/The-Sims-4-Realm-of-Magic-Potion-of-Immortality/m-p/8196035#M16032 for feedback, more I think about and more I think it's useless.

I’m afraid you have those the wrong way.

To be eternal means you live for eternity; hence you don’t age. It doesn’t mean you can’t die by other means. A lich for example would be immortal.

An immortal would be something like a god/deity. Yes, they probably wouldn’t age either (depending) but they are exempt from death. Because...they’re not mortal. They suffer no mortality (which is dying and where the naming for a mortal infliction/wound stems from). Immortal doesn’t necessarily mean celestial and both are not interchangeable. It honestly depends on folklore and mythology. But when it comes down to etymology, eternal means to not age/everlasting until otherwise.
