As most of you know, I very much enjoy alchemy. But I feel like it is lacking, and could be a lot more enjoyable. This is the first major update to my previous mod: “Minor Alchemy Overhaul”.
This update has also included a new name, as this is now an official large project for me.
Requires: Realm of Magic & Outdoor Retreat
Alchemy for Everyone
I have removed the lock that disallowed anyone but spellcasters to enjoy Alchemy. Now any human or other occult types (Alien/Vampire/Mermaid) will now be able to craft their own elixirs.
Note: At this time your sim will gain spellcaster EXP even if they are not a spellcaster. I will be fixing this in the future with a new Alchemy skill that is separate from spellcasting.
You can also travel to the Magic Realm HQ and ask the sages for recipes just like spellcasters!
There is still a cooldown of 3 in-game hours to ask for another recipe.
Herbalism on Cauldron
I have added new recipes that will allow you to craft all of the Outdoor Retreat herbalism potions on the cauldron.
Each recipe will give you 5 “servings” of the elixirs you craft. Just like the ROM normal potion recipes.
Herbalism Price & Ingredient Adjustments
I have adjusted all of the ingredients for each herbalism recipe.
This includes the recipes for the grill, stove, and cauldron.
Below are the ingredients required, and the retail price of the herbalism elixir.
Each herbalism elixir has a crafting cost of §5.
Think of this as the cost of your vials.
Each recipe also has a unique ingredient cost, depending on the items required.
Ingredients are now OPTIONAL if you do not have the ingredients required you will pay the full cost shown when crafting.
If you have all the ingredients you only pay §5 to craft.

Menu Change
Before, there were just bubble pie menus to choose the potion you wanted to brew. You had to hover over the pie menu to see the ingredients required or check your spellbook. This is super clunky to me. So instead of the bubble pie menus, you now have a normal recipe menu.

This mod will not work with any other that make changes to the potion recipes or the EA potion crafting menu.
