Sim CURE turned her into a skeleton!

So right off the bat my poor Sim gets "Marked for Death by Electrocution" as she opens a treasure chest. Alas, no bone dust. So I have her go to the museum to buy the cure there online. She "chugs it" and is cured but...TURNS INTO A BLUE SKELETON! I could not figure out nor find any way to turn her back via gameplay and so resorted to this cheat:

sims.remove_buff Buff_Skeleton

Luckily that saved the day and turned her back into a Sim! So....is this getting turned into a skeleton by taking a cure potion SUPPOSED to happen? Does the skeleton effect wear off in time? I'm really confused by this!
  • I think it wears off in time; if you check the buff when it shows up it will show time time it lasts.

    It's definitely supposed to happen. If you dispel any curse, you'll be rewarded with a blessing instead. What blessing you get depends on which curse your Sim had in the first place, but the skeleton blessing is pretty powerful while it lasts. There's no need decay at all - perfect for exploring the temple without having to worry about needing to pee, getting hungry or sleepy.

    it does indeed wear off on its own, and the duration depends on the level of the curse that was cured (one has a 12 hour timer, another has a 3 day timer. i don't recall the timer on the third one, but it's either less than 12 hours or 24 hours, depending on if it's the 'weak' or the 'medium' version. 3 days is the 'strong' version)

    i've got a post in another thread that covers the medium version of every curse and what happens when they get cured (each cure gives a specific blessing)


    Oh! Could you link me that?
