Product: The Sims 4Platform:PCWhich language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? 1.105.345.1020What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All up to crystal creationsSteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Charge the Simanite and Emerald gemstone craftablesWhat happens when the bug occurs? The buff to gain more work/school perfomance (simanite) or more luck in chance cards (emerald), but the buff that gives all those benefits only appears when the crystal is placed next to a sim physically. But sims go to work/school, they cannot do that and nor do the crystal provide the buffs via inventory.What do you expect to see? I expect sims to get the benefits by having crystals in their inventory.Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? NoAnother pack another bunch of oversights

@LunarBritney All the standing crystals are like that. You need to craft a jewel to wear when you go to work/school.

YESSS I noticed this in my game as well. How I am supposed to be able to get the benefits from this. The moodlet only occurs if it is placed on the lot and your sim is near it. The moodlet disappears if it is placed in the inventory, so how is its effect supposed to work because my sim will always be away from it when they are at work / school?

@GiardiniDiMarzo But then what's the point of charging the crystals if their effects don't work that way?

@LunarBritney But you can charge jewels, I don't see the problem... There's standing crystal you can use at home, like the one crafted with Plumbite.

@GiardiniDiMarzo If the crystal's only benefit is displayed on all versions of it, I shouldn't need to figure out which one truly gives the benefits in the correct way. It's just misleading and frustrating.

What do you mean you can't see the problem? You literally can't utilize the crystal's benefit that is displayed on the tooltip of the cut gemstone when it is charged under the moonlight because the moodlet doesn't apply when it is in their inventory.

I have a question: Can these gems be placed inside a school building where they would be useful or inside a work structure where they would be useful? If that is possible, then if there were two of them at that location and one could always be charging while the other was giving benefit, would that be a useful work around to the dilemma?

@amjoie Only active high school/the three Get To Work active careers have a lot you can access that you could put the crystal on, and I don't think you get chance cards while at active school/work?
