Re: my sim spellcaster can't learn potions

@agoak Are you using any mods/cc in your game ?

Did you try multiple Sims or just one and do you have the issue on all of them ? Can she learn them through the sages ?

    @crinrict I have other sims in another game that can learn potions- I'm not sure how to learn through sages, I get a "teach magic" interaction but nothing more specific. it also occurs to me that she does not have a cooking skill (even at 1) and I am wondering if that is preventing her from learning potions...

    @agoak Don't think they are related. There should be an interaction for spells and one for potions but maybe that needs a perk to unlock. Not sure.

    There are two possibilities for the sim to learn how to make potions. A Sim must have some degree of familiarity with Sage to have the "ask for potion recipe" option. The fastest way to make friends with sage is to learn magic from him. Sim can buy a recipe in the magic shop
    However, before the sim completes the first level of magic, he can learn only a few recipes

    so far neither option has been available to this sim- when she goes to the book store there have been no potion recipes available, and apparently her relationship with the sage is not high enough yet. She is well above first level on her magic progression- at least an adept.

    sort of- I haven't used the gallery before, so what I managed to upload was the character at the point of creation, not sure how to update the gallery. Her name is Janet Fortune.

    @agoak The current version would be best. Take the Sim to CAS with plan outfit and you should be able to upload the current version from there.
