My first attempt at creating a Sims comic: The Parker-Goth Legacy.
Craft Your Crystal Jewelry with The Sims 4 Crystal Creations Stuff Pack
Design dazzling jewelry that puts you at the center of crafting and creation
We cannot get enough of crystals! In The Sims 4 Crystal Creations Stuff Pack, players can unlock a new Gemology Skill that will have your Sim collecting an assortment of colorful Crystals and Metals to customize stellar creations that can affect Sims’ moods, relationships, careers and lives! Display new beautifully cut crystals around the house, use them for crafting stunning pieces of jewelry, and charge your crystals in the moonlight to uncover new unique properties!
From designing beloved treasures like hand-crafted engagement rings or custom jewelry to producing unique collectibles that can be sold for Simoleons, any Sim can cultivate their own style that will be seen by all.
Get ready to create the jewelry of your dreams in this Stuff Pack that is sure to help you reach all of your crafty goals!
Collecting & Crafting
Nothing is more special than the pieces you hand-craft with love. With Crystal Creations, a Sim can create over 1,000 different permutations of bejeweled items, choosing to make a fashion statement, declaration of love or a sparkly gift for a friend.
To create these dazzling items, Sims can develop the Gemology Skill. This shiny new skill can be learned through practice as your Sim crafts at the new Gemology Table. Craft jewelry and cut gemstones in stunning new designs. As your Sim's skill improves, so will the quality of their creations. At the Gemology Table, Sims can cut gemstones and make stunning designs with the Crystals they collect and fashion them into engagement rings and other jewelry, including assorted rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings.
From selecting your favorite Crystal variant to choosing which metals suit a Crystal best, like Silver, Gold or Rose Gold, your Sim will feel like a master crafter once surrounded by their colorful jewelry. You can also use any of the 22 metals found with The Sims 4 worlds including Baconite, Death Metal and Romantium. Send a message of love or friendship by selecting the perfect shape of a Gemstone, choose from 10 different cuts including a Heart, Plumbob or Gnome shape.
The Gemology Skill can be boosted when a Sim reads the Gemology Skill book and when a Sim continues to craft Crystal Creations at the Gemology Table. A Sim can sell, collect and gift their crafted creations to other Sims.
Connect with Crystal Energy
Don’t you just love a little moonlight? We sure do! We’re excited to share that Crystal Creations utilizes the Base Game Lunar Cycle. This means that in Crystal Creations, Sims can search out Crystals on their computer or pluck them off a Crystal Tree, and once the Crystal is cut into a Gemstone, the jewelry and Gemstones can be charged with the Crystal determining the effect.
The objects must be placed on the Crystal Charging Grid. Once charged, Sims can wear or display their pieces, experiencing the effects of the Crystal to positively or negatively impact relationships, emotions and in-game progress. Depending on the Crystal the effects of the charging may wane over time and your Sims will need to recharge to feel the full effect once again.
With the introduction of 3 new crystals, Amber, Jade and Moonstone, there are currently 27 total crystals across all packs for Sims to discover. Sims can find Crystals anywhere! Locate Common, Uncommon and Rare Crystals in dig spots and rocks on any world or lot, while Uncommon Crystals can also be purchased from the computer or at the Gemology Table and Rare Crystals can only be found in different worlds or grown on a Crystal Tree.
Find all different varieties of Crystals around The Sims 4 worlds including:
The Sims 4 Base Game Crystals: (Common) Emerald, Citrine, Quartz, Alabaster, Rose Quartz, Peach Quartz, Ruby, Orange Topaz, Sapphire, Turquoise, (Uncommon) Simanite, Shinolite, Amethyst, Hematite, Diamond, Fire Opal, (Rare) Jonquilyst, Plumbite, Rainborz, Jet
The Sims 4 Get To Work Expansion Pack: (Common) Nitelite, Crandestine
The Sims 4 Jungle Adventure Game Pack: (Uncommon) Amazonite, (Rare) Alexandrite
The Sims 4 Crystal Creations Stuff Pack: (Common) Jade, (Uncommon) Moonstone, (Rare) Amber
Dark and Dreamy
The ultimate crystal adventure isn’t complete without the right dash of mystery and intrigue. When it’s time to collect your colorful Crystals and slip into colorful crystal slippers, bejeweled leather boots and artisan clothing, including button down vests and shirts and floral tops with puffed sleeves. To add even more sparkle, check out the new hairs with fierce metallic hoops or delicate jeweled pins.
After a long day of cutting, collecting, crafting and selling Crystals and jewelry, relax in a cozy humble abode equipped with soft velvety sofas, stare into mirrors embedded with Crystals and spend many starry nights at your Gemology Table learning the tricks of the trade.
The Sims 4 collaborated with Simmer Arethabee to develop a dreamy set of jewelry available in Create-A-Sim, featuring a necklace, a ring and earrings. Her designs are delicate and sophisticated and a perfect addition to this sparkling pack. We love working with our community of creators and cannot wait to see what you make with these dazzling new designs.

I love all the little jewelry displays, wonder if they are functional or just decorative. Would be nice to be able to display our own designs on them.
I think it's funny how they based this trailer around the Forgotten Grotto, it's going to be very popular soon and the name starts to make sense.
The crystal gnome. Ahh, now I want to make a crystal forest with crystal gnomes, a crystal cave and maybe even a crystal house somehow
The Sims 4 hasn't introduced a new musical instrument since 2017
Don't forget a crystal dragon. One day...
here me out on this one
I surround a lot with sized-up crystals and junk. Like a mountain of crystals that encircle the lot. And if your sim manages to find a way around it, they can visit the monochrome land of crystal, play in the sacred healing waters (ie a pool), dance among the fairy lights (firefly effects), take from the crystal trees and plant them in the land's white sand terrain, and praise the crystal dragon, so that it may bless them with crystal scales on their skin.
It could also be a place for sims to charge their crystals, with a charging grid placed on an altar somewhere on the lot. It could be witch-exclusive, because sims would need to use brooms to fly over the mountains.

Well, you sold me on the idea. I'm so ready for a dragon scale blessing.

The Sims 4 Crystal Collecting Guide
Gems List and Possible Elements from Geo Council
Collecting Crystals in The Sims 4 means digging up Rocks found around the game's Neighborhoods, Parks, and Secret Areas. Any rock could yield any of these, but don't expect it to be a quick process. Metals, Crystals, MySims Trophies, and Fossils all come from the same spawners so this is quite a long process. Rares are more likely to be found off the beaten path, such as in Forgotten Grotto or areas distant from homes in Oasis Springs. See the Guide to Collections for some general Tips to finding them.
The following list of Crystals indicates what Elements that gem may be broken down to when it is sent to the Geo Council. This is how you collect Elements. You'll get one of the Elements listed in the mail the following day after sending it for $20. The Elements further to the right are generally more rare than those first listed, so it may take multiple attempts to finish that collection.
Get to Work adds two new Crystals: Nitelite and Crandestine, which can be found on the Planet Sixam.

Im gonna enjoy combining all the RoM witchy gameplay like potions with herbalism from OR with this new gemologist skill. I think they will complement each other nicely for an ultimate spell caster.
I’m also thinking Sylvan Glade is gonna get some kind of makeover. There will definitely be a crystal tree growing in there.
I really like the new hairstyles ( one thing I have always loved about stuff packs ). I like some of the CAS too. I think some of my older sims will be able to wear some of the clothes, and it also looks like some will go well with Horse Ranch too ( and young adult sims ). I like the new low boots too.
I love the look of the Build buy too. I love those box shelves with the glass covers, and the other shelves. The book case with the ladder is so cool too. And that chair that looks like a desk chair ( hope that’s what it is ), I really like that too.
All that clutter and wall hangings will make it look like a real jewelry creators place too.
Love the new gemology skill too. I wonder if there will be any new aspirations or traits?
And the horoscope hints, I hope that means our sims will be getting horoscope/Romantic likes and dislikes soon too! This stuff pack would go so well with a romance gamepack or Expansion pack.
I can't wait to see the create a sim catalog, and I wish there was to see the jewelry up close in cas or in game.
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..
I love the dress and the hair from the girl in the trailer.
I am also looking forward to the displays. I have a clothing store with my magic shops and can't wait to give it an update with some new decor.
And let's not forget the awesome crystal tree.
How will it work? Can any crystal be grown? Will the tree have different shapes/colours for different crystals?
I wonder if we get an aspiration with this stuff pack. I really hope so but so far none has been mentioned in the blog post.
I like the build buy as well and I think the CAS goes with the build buy stuff. Aside from ROM, this pack also goes with Growing Together/San Sequoia which had some of this type of home decor. Anyway, I can see myself using the clothes and build/buy for my sims, especially the flowy dresses and tops.
