The Sims 4: Herbalism Skill Guide
Herbalism Skill Guide

In order to have the Herbalism Skill as an option you need to get the Outdoor Retreat Game Pack. This is also needed to gather certain plants to make the different brewed concoctions. If you haven’t gotten Outdoor Retreat yet knowing that it brings the Herbalism Skill to the Game might be an incentive. Visit Granite Falls to get Started, I love the look of Granite Falls and the fact you can explore this area as you increase your Herbalism Skill is a bonus.
When leveling up your Herbalism skill you will need to learn what plants to grow and splice together to create other plants. Having your gardening skill maxed out is a huge help when doing the Herbalism skill. Gain levels to unlock new Recipes to Brew, and learn to identify Herbs found in the massive Forest of Granite Falls. This Guide to Herbalism will list all of the Recipes your Sims can learn, guide you toward the Hermit’s location and list the effects of each of the creams, ointments, and liniments your Sims can Brew with the Skill.
Collecting Herbs and Insects:
Identifying Herbs is the first thing you should do to get started with the Skill. Later, Brewing Recipes will get you to level 10. Herbs are naturally the primary component of these Recipes, but some require regular Gardening produce, and many require Insects. Collecting Herbs will give your Sims the skill needed to brew different concoctions. A lot of the Produce needed for the recipes can be found via the Gardening Guide and around Granite Falls (even rares like Blackberries are found there). Finding Herbs is easy – just search around with the camera low, and watch for Plants that sparkle. If your Sims has Gardening level 5, you can not only Harvest the Plants, but also Take Cutting so that you can Graft them onto other existing plants and get more of them later on by incorporating them into your Garden at home.
Collect insects:
Insects can be the hardest part. A good search pattern and keen eye are necessary, as you collect the insects they will be added to your inventory in a terrarium like container. These can be displayed on various shelfs and surfaces. A great idea is to build a collection shed, or buy the collection chest from the Trick or Treat Challenge reward update.
Dust Spirits come out at Night in Granite Falls
Insects are another matter all together. You must keep an eye out at all times while searching for Herbs and collect every one that you see. Bugs that fly are the easiest to catch. Those that crawl, however, are much harder. I suggest you keep your Camera at eye level as though you are looking through the Forest yourself, because otherwise treetops will obscure your view. Try to use a pattern and search the Forest without revisiting the same places. It can be tough at first, especially if you’re new to Outdoor Retreat, but you’ll eventually get the hang of it. Most insects are easiest to spot during daytime, but some like Fireflies and Dust Spirits only come out at night.
As your Skill rises, you’ll be more likely to Identify Herbs. Herbalism comes with two main interactions with Herbs.
Identify Plant:
Attempting to Identify an Herb will give your Sim some Skill Experience. You can do this over and over on a high-level herb to help you gain Skill, but it’s not really recommended since the most experience comes from Brewing Recipes. By level 5, your Sim should be able to identify all types of Herbs (even Rares) within a few tries.
Eating Plants:
Each of the 10 total Herbs has a normal and poisonous variety. If you know it’s the normal, it’s safe to eat. If you’re unsure, don’t bother risking it. Some Herbs can leave your Sims itchy for a long time and even need a remedy to get over the ailment quickly. Thankfully, all maladies herbs may produce will go away with time and it could help your Sims to identify an Herb. Fireleaf can be found in a couple of places. Fireleaf can sometimes be found here (near the Hermit’s cave in the National Park) and another possible spawner is near the Waterfall Fishing spot. Hermit’s hidden area has Morel Mushrooms. While False Morels are found all over, the Hermit Area sometimes has true Morels in the Rock Garden. It depends on your luck.

Brewing Herbalism Concoctions:
As your Sims gains levels in Herbalism, you’ll unlock new Recipes. You should save the Herbs you collect for a mass-brewing back at Lodging in Granite falls or your own Home to level the Skill. Making these will give you the most Skill XP out of any of the interactions. It’s kind of like Cooking in that way. I preferred to take the Herbs home and plant them on my lot, to ensure I had access to these while at home. Trips to Granite Falls may be necessary in order to collect Insects, as previously mentioned, because they are required in a lot of the best Recipes.
The following are the herbs in the game pack. As noted before, there is a poisonous (bad moodlet) and normal (often good moodlet) version of each Herb. I’ll also list what happens when you eat them in the notes section. Growth times etc. are for your reference when planting them in your home lot. Prices are for Perfect variants.

HERBALISM RECIPE LIST & SKILL UNLOCKS:
The only Skill unlocks of Herbalism are the new Recipes your Sims learn. Here’s a list of all of them and how to get the Secret Recipe:
Herbalism Recipe List
Level 1 Insect Repellent Liniment- 2 Noxious Elderberry, 2 Basil Prevents Insect Bites while in the Wilderness, which can happen when collecting them.
Level 1 Sadness Alleviation Lotion- 2 Elderberry, 1 Firefly Eliminates any Sadness-inducing Moodlets
Level 1 Fungal Infusion Fertilizer– Recipe 3 Morel Mushroom, 2 False Morel, 1 Blackberry, 1 Dust Spirit Learn from Friendship with Hermit. See below. Likely the best Fertilizer in-game – it should last a long time. Use it to help Evolve Plants.
Level 2 Deodorizing Cream- 1 Elderberry, 1 Strawberry, 2 Parsley Replenishes the Sim’s Hygiene Need. Higher Quality seems to do more.
Level 3 Soothing Skin Balm- 2 Chamomile, 2 Basil, 1 Locust Heals or reduces duration of any insect bites and possibly burns.
Level 4 De-Stressing Decoction- 2 Chamomile, 2 Muckleberry, 1 Walking Stick Eliminates Stress Moodlets
Level 5 Tummy Therapy- 2 Huckleberry, 2 Sage, 1 Termite Alleviates Nausea-type Moodlets and other stomach-related ailments
Level 6 Clear Mind Distillation- 2 Toxic Chamomile, 2 Huckleberry, 2 Parsley Gives Sim a +2 Focused Moodlet for 4 hours
Level 6 Fireleaf Extract- 2 Poison Fireleaf, 2 Morel Mushroom, 1 Fire Ant Makes Sims extremely uncomfortable giving Unrelenting Itch for 8h and an upset stomach
Level 7 Natural Herbicide Oil- 2 Toxic Chamomile, 3 Fireleaf, 1 Stink Bug Can only be used on a plant when the ‘Weed’ option is available. Pouring this oil will remove the weeds and stop them from growing for a time.
Level 8 Energizer Infusion- 3 Muckleberry, 2 Poison Fireleaf, 1 Dragonfly Gives a +2 Energized Moodlet for 4 hours
Level 9 Rage Relieving Salve- 3 Noxious Elderberry, 2 Fireleaf, 1 Tomato, 1 Rainbow Firefly Eliminates any Anger-producing Moodlets
Level 10 Elixir of Fertility-4 False Morel, 2 Sage,1 Bee, 1 Will-o-the-Wisp Increases the likelihood of Twins and Triplets
These are not worth selling most of the time given the cost and value of ingredients themselves. These are for using to benefit your Sims!

You can learn a secret Recipe from the Hermit of Granite Falls:
Talking to the Hermit of Granite Falls may give your Sims some Herbalism Skill experience when you talk about it with them, though it seems to stop at a point. The Hermit’s role in Herbalism is, upon reaching Good Friends, that you can use the special Interaction, ‘Learn Herbalism Recipe’ to get the Fungal Infusion Fertilizer Recipe, no matter your level. Be careful cooking this, as it can cause a fire at low level. Becoming Friends with the Hermit is also crucial to Milestone III of Outdoor Retreat’s Outdoor Enthusiast Aspiration. Visiting this area is highly recommended, as it’s possible you will find Herbs you don’t yet have, along with the will-o-the-wisp (rare insect) at night. which you need to create some of the higher level Herbalism recipes including the Fungal Infused Fertilizer Recipe.
Well I know my Sim had fun learning all the recipes of the Herbalism skill and I hope yours will too.
So until next time Happy Simming!

The Sims 4: New Game Update! (January 7th, 2016)

The Sims Team has released a brand new Update for The Sims 4, preparing us for the release of The Sims 4 Movie Hangout Stuff that’s out next week!
To download the latest version of The Sims 4, simply open your Origin program and if the game doesn’t update automatically, right click on The Sims 4 and select ”Update”.
Update: 01/07/2016 – PC Version 1.14.49.1020 / Mac Version 1.14.49.1220
Happy year of the new, Simmers!
We have a short and sweet release this fine 7th of January, like a New Year’s Eve peck – just a quick welcome to 2016!
Around the corner, I hear Sims are prepping the popcorn for their movie relaxations (just remember, if the bunny in the woods is too much, just call on the super kids to battle the dancing undead).
And with that warning out of the way, we have a bit of NEW…
- We have modified the way in which Sims react to those acting inappropriately in their neighbors’ homes. Beware, for you might find your Sim asked to leave if they get out of line.
- We have also modified the behavior of Sims when a fight occurs.
- Your friends may cheer you on, but your enemies may cheer when you’re down.
- There are 8 new wall decorations to decorate your décor! (ok, well, they don’t decorate the décor, they add to the décor… I really just wanted to ignore the conventions of grammar and write what I wanted to write. There… I admitted it, I ignore grammar!)
- Movie posters for It’s Amber!, Stay Weirder, Cow Plant Love, Cop and Llama, Malpractice, Epic Wood, Sul Sul, and Still Life, are all now available in the Build catalog.
… And have addressed a few Issues…
- The repair service will no longer become unavailable if the player switches active households while the repair service was in progress.
- The repair service is no longer available to not service a retail lot.
- It is now not available, as it was not repairing. Thus, the service will now not charge you for not repairing, when you attempted to have a repair service, service your repairs.
- We fixed an issue that could result when connecting or reconnecting online, in an interface misalignment in the My Library tab of the Gallery.
- Essentially, interface elements were not redrawing properly, and were overlapping in ways that made parts of the interface inaccessible.
- In-acc-sess-ible is so much more fun to say when you accent each syllable.
- We have addressed an issue that could allow users to modify existing lots and upload them as their own.
- Without going into too much detail, through a means of saving, deleting, and re-uploading, it was possible for the owner ID to be “lost” and thus allow the owner modification to occur.
- Sims can now chat with children playing on a jungle gym without route failing.
- … of course I thought the whole purpose of the park was to let your kids run free, while you found peace in the nature inspired sanctuary of silence…
- “Dad?!”
- Blissful, golden silence…
- “DAD!!!”
- SILENCE!
- “DAD?!”
- “What?!”
- “Nuh-thing.”
- We fixed an issue with the DJ booth that could result in the upgrade action failing to perform, but still deducting the parts from the Sims’ inventory.
I hope you had a pleasant December, and wish you joy as we move into the beginnings of this new year.

The Sims 4 Movie Hangout Stuff Twitter Tidbits
SimGurus are sharing new info about the latest Stuff Pack – The Sims 4 Movie Hangout!
.@Ceres_Meiriona Happy to hear; the number of detailed pattern variants for the objects & clothes in this pack is nuts! Very versatile.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
.@Howdy_Simmer This pack is for friends/family gathering in a relaxing setting to enjoy a movie, it’s not for a cinema or home theater feel.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
.@nickperri_ Definitely. Sims can even declare their favorite movie genre! Check out the blog if you haven’t yet: https://t.co/rZjFHthFYq
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
.@Howdy_Simmer Sims consider them as different activities. For example, you could have a club that watches movies and avoids watching TV.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
.@Howdy_Simmer Each movie is about an hour and a half in Sim time. It’s a unique interaction to watch each one so they’ll stick around.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
.@Sathos_voice Each movie is about an hour and a half in Sim time. That adds up to approximately 20 minutes of new video in real time 🙂
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
@thesimplynando There’s a new club rule to watch movies if that’s what you’re asking about.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
@Howdy_Simmer That’s the idea; they’re great fun to watch along together with your Sims!
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
@SimInterstellar Yup, multiple new styled rooms. Some really lovely arrangements thanks to the wide variety in the pack.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
.@thesimplynando Yes, there are ways to watch together, or join in watching a movie in progress. Even a new romantic cuddle while watching.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
@Sim_Cookie The movies don’t directly change their emotion, but Sims do have varying degrees of enjoyment when watching a flick.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
.@Weealbet Movies can be watched on TVs, and TV can be watched on the new screens. New gameplay is around Sim behavior during/after movies.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
@MooniGaming @thesimplynando No sofa woohoo; turn the movie off and take it to the bedroom 😉
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
@catloverplayer @thesimplynando Yes, or until the movie ends.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
@PattonKieran Kids don’t make popcorn; but they can eat the popcorn that adults make in the new popcorn popper.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
@daniel_willyan You can invite friends to hang out & then watch a movie with them; it didn’t feel like something needing a dedicated event.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
.@ZerbuTabek The ten movies don’t loop or repeat themselves, each tells its own complete story from start to finish 🙂
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
@PattonKieran They sure can.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
.@purpleclauu The reactions they have relate to what’s happening on screen, i.e., monster pops out; Sims jump in fright. Not emotion based.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
.@leo3487 Did someone say telesplosion? I love that in Get Together! …and yes, it works & looks fantastic on the new Movie Stuff screens.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
@Chelle_Jo44 Yup, each one is two minutes in real time.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
@RacodyZ No, it’s done via an interaction in-game. There are a number of new socials between Sims that they can use after watching a movie.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
@RacodyZ This pack is for friends/family to gather in a relaxing setting and enjoy a movie. Comfy boho clothing and accent piece furniture.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
@RacodyZ We specifically stayed away from cinema as that’s a totally different experience, and something larger than a stuff pack.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
@RacodyZ Things like discussing a scene, asking about the plot, chatting about actors or directors, spreading spoilers, etc. Variety.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
.@RacodyZ There are four popcorn flavors… buttered, caramel, cheddar, and kettle.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
.@Ceres_Meiriona In Movie Hangout Stuff, shushing happens when a Sim who is enjoying a movie gets distracted by other Sims who aren't.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 8, 2016
.@Ceres_Meiriona Examples… if another Sim starts talking, or laughs during a serious moment, a Sim enjoying the movie may "SHH!" them.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 8, 2016
.@Howdy_Simmer @leegravesg15 Watching TV and watching a movie are two separate club rules that can be selected independently of each other.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 8, 2016
@QueenavaZ No, making popcorn isn't a club activity.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 9, 2016

The Sims Blog: It’s Movie Time! The Sims 4 Movie Hangout Stuff is Coming Next Week
Via TheSims.com
Grab the popcorn and invite your friends – The Sims 4 Movie Hangout Stuff Pack* is coming on January 12, and includes the stuff your Sims need to set the stage for a relaxing movie night.
Key to any screening is an awesome screen, and the new Movie Projector Screen fits the bill. This new object is much more than an oversized TV – it’s loaded with ten original films to watch, from action and comedy to romance and horror. There are even two family movies in case your Sim wants to catch a flick with their kids. Each tells a unique tale, and you’ll be captivated alongside your Sims as they gasp in shock, cry over tragedy, and share a good laugh at the perfect punchline.
Movies may be best experienced as a group viewing under a night sky, but that’s not the only way to enjoy the new films. You can always retreat to your den of solitude and watch these flicks on your TV, if you’d rather enjoy a more intimate environment.
Of course no flick can be fully appreciated without an accompanying bowl of popcorn on your lap, and the new Popcorn Popper lets you do just that. Your Sims can pop (and devour) traditional buttered, cheddar, caramel, or kettle. Just beware… popcorn may fly everywhere when they view a jump scare in one of the horror movies!
But we didn’t just want to give you the tools to watch movies (and eat popcorn). The Sims 4 Movie Hangout Stuff also includes new furniture and decorative accents to add a touch of color to your awesome hangout. You can create a great indoor movie lounge, or take it outside and create a totally awesome bohemian atmosphere to watch movies in the breeze.
The Sims 4 Movie Hangout Stuff releases worldwide on January 12 – are your Sims excited to watch some flicks and chill?
