Crystal Creations Negative thread

Also I'm kind of annoyed that with every craft table requires you to stand up while you're working on them. It's awkward to just stand and work for hours when you don't need to. And it's not like the marketers aren't aware, because they put a chair beside the crafter table in the trailer, to give the impression that one sits and works at the table.

On all crafting benches is Sims standing working. I suspect reasonably that Maxis recycles some animations...

My negatives so far:
- there seems to be nothing for children. A necklace or pair of earrings for younger sims would be nice. We haven't seen all assets yet so there is still some hope
- no new aspiration. If there was an aspiration I expect it would have been mentioned in the blog post.

Which style aesthetics does this pack choose? It's too similar to RoM GP, I would like some steampunk outfits.

Steampunk outfits is something we don't have yet but I am not feeling Steampunk with this pack. I think the clothes really match the witchy vibes. Perhaps we will get them in another pack.

Id love some steampunk outfits too!

I want steampunk as well!

I thought so too, but I checked the blog post for HCH (which has two aspirations) and they are not mentioned there... So I still have hope. It would be nice to get two aspirations, one for good and one for evil crystal stuff.

I don't really care a lot about sims standing and not sitting at a working table. It's a detail that in some cases makes the full thing less realistic, but hey-ho, it's just a gamme. If reusing standing animations meant that I got two hairstyles, four furniture items and 16 jewelry designes extra, I'm happy with that :) If we in the future must stand to sort our collection of stamps (predicting a future "TS4 Stamps Collection Stuff Pack"), that will be a different story :)

Then there is still hope :)

It's cool that vampires, werewolves and spellcasters get special effects from moonstone BUT why are mermaids forgotten? :/ And aliens too? Or did they just forget to mention them?

I would have also loved to have seashell jewellry.

Seashell jewelry would have been lovely. Also, pearls, lots of pearls, white, pink and black too, and colorful sea glass.

They didn't cover all the crystals there are (at least from what I've seen other people post about it - I'm not on X), so could be more for them.
