Game Help:Sims 3 Skills/Alchemy

The Alchemy Skill: Elixirs Guide

Supernatural brought us a new skill: Alchemy. This skill can be learned by two different methods: you can read alchemy books which you can find at the book shop like any other book or you can research using the Alchemy Station, a new object from this EP. Reading alchemy books has as a disadvantage that your sims will not discover new elixirs until they do some research in the alchemy station. If you also have Ambitions EP your sim will be able to work as an alchemist and earn their pay by selling elixirs.

Now there's a list of all elixirs and the effects they will have in the sims who drink them. You'll notice that some elixirs have the same icon, well, apparently EA were not feeling THAT creative. Some elixirs can only be learned after buying the corresponding recipe at the book store.
