I'm wondering if it's possible to make a "charging station" on a community lot. How many hours does it take to charge a piece? I'm thinking of making it a challenge for my Sims. I can finally make use of the empty Moonwood Mills lot, or even put the station on the big bar lot or library there, so Sims will have to brave the realm of Werewolves to get the magic, since there are no random negative effects on the jewelry (such a bummer). I love that other supernatural beings show up on that bar lot too (really wish we had a lot trait for all Occults so we could do this in other community lots!) so it would be fun if my Sims had to spend a night there to get the mystical powers for their jewelry.
I do wish the charges lasted longer though, to make it worth the risk. Does anyone know of a mod that extends the charge time? Would like it if it lasted a week or two.
Babs Builder did a quick test for you, and she was able to go to neighborhood terrain in San Myshuno and place the crystal grid there ("place in world" from inventory). It seems to work. From the tooltip, it looks like 6 hours to charge.
So an apartment dweller could easily make crystal-charging one of the many activities that one must leave one's apartment to do
It raises some questions, like, could other sims steal your gemstone while it was charging? Would your sim stay awake and sit by the stone for 6 hours to guard it, would they sleep on a bench right next to it, would they leave it on the ground and go up to their apartment to sleep?
@mightysprite wow, that's awesome, thank you. I considered trying that but wasn't sure what would happen. I can at least do that but still might make my own "charging challenge" in Moonwood... Just because it's fun. For those days when I just want the quick charge with that household, I can use the city streets. 😊
But I do still think they should patch to allow the balconies to be considered "outside". 😁
Crystal Grid Indoor Charging
Quote: My own setup using the indoor charging mod. (BTW, the grid can be placed on many types of surfaces, not just on the ground or floor.)
@LiELF Agree! I think your idea of a moon-charging hub in Moonwood Mill is really cool
@mightysprite Thanks! I'm thinking the Werewolves will want to jealously guard the secrets of moon magic but the Spellcasters will want to stake a claim to it as well, so the tension between them is going to increase. Meanwhile, the Vampires will enjoy the drama and take advantage of the focus shifting away from them.
It could be dangerous for a mortal to have to sneak in there to get the charges. But perhaps somewhere there is a small league of mortal monster hunters who seek the power for themselves in order to get an advantage. I've been wanting to put a secret Hunter training ground under a library or museum somewhere. Hmm...

If it's still there tomorrow I might just grab it.
It's such a nice couch-it's a shame they did not considering a getting a scratching post for the cat.
Hm... that's a lot of work and waiting for just 3 gems? Hopefully you'll harvest more in he future.
there is the culprit for fertilizing
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
It's still not producing very many gems. Just 5 a day. The last two days have been all uncommon or rare. So that's great news. I'm curious if having a dig site really close has an effect? When she planted it there were three close by. Two never respawned after the first harvest. The one that's left is really close to her lot.
It's not like she's hurting for gems. She has the whole collection. And only two that are singles, an Alexandrite and a Jet. Everything else she has anywhere from 3 to 12 stored in her gemology table. Now we just need a metal tree.🙂
And failing that there's always debug. 🙂
