I know some of them definitely don't apply but I just wanted to include them all.Have your sims completed the Herbalism skill and brewed all the potions?Insect Repellent LinimentPrevents Bug bites while collecting insectsSadness Alleviation LotionRemoves Sadness moodletsDeodorizing CreamRefills hygiene barSoothing Skin BalmReduse or cure the effect of Itchy moodletsDe-Stressing DecoctionRemoves Tense moodletsTummy TherapyRemoves stomach painClear Mind DistillationGives +2 Focused MoodletFireleaf ExtractGives Sims an itch moodlet and they become uncomfortable for a long timeNatural Herbicide OilPrevents plants from getting weedsEnergizer InfusionGives +2 Energized MoodletRage Relieving SalveRemoves Angry moodletsElixir of FertilityIncrease the chance of having twins or tripletsFungal Infusion FertilizerA very strong fertilizerMore info on Herbalism Skill and potion ingredients.http://sims-online.com/sims-4-herbalism-potion-skill-guide/

Say you enter a place or you touch something that overwhelms you with rage. It would be nice to take a potion or have a way to calm yourself down. Would be an interesting way to be killed from a curse also if you can't figure how to fight it. This is pure speculation though.I'd love if you could also use the De-Stressing Decoction and even the Sadness Alleviation Lotion to fight effects too that I just mentioned.An Energizer could be good to get through some physical obstacles maybe? Focused could be good to solve problems..

I just, for the first time since I got OR, had a sim max Herbalism (for the Outdoor Enthusiast aspiration). Identifying wild plants in Granite Falls starts up the skill, then brewing the potions levels up the skill the rest of the way.

It really helped that my sim's mother was a Scientist, who had invented a cloning machine. While you can grow the plants at home, the insects must be gathered in Granite Falls. However, once found, they can also be cloned too :)

The Deodorizing Cream will probably come in very handy. As well as the Insect Repellent Liniment, and probably De-Stressing Decoction.

If you're having trouble locating the insects you can get them from buy/debug mode. Same thing for the plants if you don't want to send your sims to Granite Falls. I have all the plants in my sim's garden but always use debug for the insects.

Well I hope they give us a way more ways to collect the insects needed for potions because unless you have a cloning machine it is tiresome having to collect them in Granite Falls. We need something in the game to locate where the insects are in Granite falls so we don't spend so much time just looking around. And even now after all the time I have been playing I know the area's where they spawn and its time consuming waiting for the right ones you want to come along.

I suspect that we will be offered ways of buying the insects we need just like they introduced the buying of some fruit and veg or other ways of finding them.

This new Jungle Adventure seems to be similar to World Adventures in the Sims 3 but I have to say I am excited as I loved WA. Lets hope it lives up to expectations!
