I've been playing the pack since it came out yesterday and I'm loving it. One of the small details I really like is when you gift another Sim a piece of jewelry, they immediately put it on so you can see it.
It is great that you are enjoying the pack @cchant86 I like it also. As you said, it is special seeing sims put on the jewellery that you have given them.
@LiELF: I don't see how this pack could possibly break my noautonomousphone mod. Except if there should be a crystal that disables autonomous phone use, that is.
The vast majority of my mods should still be fine with the pack and patch.

Universities also get new optional elective courses on Gemology! These are:
University of Britechester:
Understanding the Self through Gemology
This course investigates how crystals and gemstones have long captivated the imagination. What do we see of ourselves in these shiny rocks? And how can we use their properties to become better selves?
Foxbury Institute:
Gemology by the Numbers
By examining the angles, edges, and cuts of various gems, this course will dig into what has made gemology interesting to Sims around the world for generations.
Besides Knitting, this is the fourth post-Discover University skill to get a optional elective course (the second being cross-stitching, the third being horse riding).
Thanks very much for letting us know about the University optional elective courses on Gemology @EgonVM
It is a great that Gemology has been added as an elective course.

That's a relief @83bienchen thank you for letting me know. It's the one mod that is absolutely essential to my game and I don't think I could play without it because I just can't stand the excessive phone dependency.
And while I've been playing offline to avoid the update, there have been a couple of times that the EA app has tried to start my update, even though I have it set to offline play. My game was being a little wonky after that so now I'm afraid it got bugged by me cancelling the patch and I'll have to update and repair anyway. So I'll continue to use the mod, thank goodness.
I really appreciate the work you've done for the community. ❤️
Question to EA_Cade and the team: I need to buy the new pack on Amazon. When will it be available there? On German Amazon, not even the Castle Kit has arrived.
Nevermind.
The pack is now on Amazon, but to my surpise I wasn't allowed to use my Amazon wallet to buy the code. Looks like this is only possible for physical goods now.
No Visa Card verification on the EA App, no gift cards on Amazon - The Sims is like a fortress, they don't want to sell their games.

Thanks for giving us hope @83bienchen! I agree with @LiELF , I honestly wouldn't know what to do without this mod. Game-saver all the way! 💚
As for a phone disabling crystal...mmm, that would be a fine crystal indeed, but you gotta keep it charged to make sure all the phones remain -uncharged…
Too complicated. I think I prefer the mod! 😆
@simgirl1010 I knew there was a spellcaster in the family somewhere.😁
The more I hear and see the more I want to try spellcasters again but I have a full plate. I think this pack could finally make them what I wanted them to be from the start.
I don't think this pack will complete my spellcasters but it's a good addition to them for sure.
A few more points of cross-pack compatibility:
-experimenting at the chemistry station (GTW scientist career) builds the gemology skill
-the new crystals can also be refined (JA), although refined crystals can’t be charged or used for jewellery
I love the cross pack compatibility this pack has! Hopefully the distortion bug will be fixed soon. My latest plan was to make some jewellery with Saruman the White, but he is elder and my mermaid is a teen, so the only one who could make and wear jewellery now is my ya werewolf.
I’m not sure if anybody can answer this for me. But is there any ring or how many of the rings actually go on the left ring finger (engagement finger )?
I just made it 87. I didn't notice it when I took the screenshots of Londyn and Danielle wearing Londyn's new creations, but I just went and looked and they do appear to be thinner.
Every time I go to my retail lot and put everything out on display, all of the jewelry that I put out on display and marked as for sale will return to my individual Sims Inventory the minute that I leave the lot.

Yeah, I tried to buy both the Goth & Castle kit on Amazon with a gift card a month ago and it wouldn't let me (US). According to reddit, it's a change they made some what recently quietly.

I was given money on my EA Wallet a little while ago and there was $5 left over after buying a pack. Since then, I have been trying to use that remaining money but every time I try, the checkout button greys out and I cannot make a purchase until I unclick the EA Wallet. I won’t put any more money in the wallet if I can’t use it at all!

Wait so elders and teens cannot make jewellry? If true that's a shame.
