Alchemy Artisan

I love Sims 3, but I started to get bored with the game.  I realized that I was playing the same type of characters -- ones who loved to cook and have big families -- and I never attempted to complete all the lifetime wishes.  I'd stick to the easy ones like "Surrounded by Family" and "Celebrated 5 Star Chef."  So, I am challenging myself to complete every lifetime wish AND I am doing this using the offspring of this guy: Cole Murdock.

Now, I didn't come up with an idea for a blog until recently, so I wasn't really thinking about much of a story line or taking screenshots.  I managed to take the one above because I was so proud of myself for finishing a lifetime wish that had never interested me before.  And alchemy can be pretty cool . . . there are potions to make your Sim happy like the Vial of Potent Bliss.  These puppies can also make good money.  Cole just made potions all day and sold them at the consignment shop instead of having a regular job.

This lifetime wish if pretty easy to complete, especially if you are playing with just one Sim and can devote all your attention to him, which is what I was doing.  It is easier to complete if you start gardening so that you can have a good supply of mushrooms and other ingredients.
