Crystal Creations Negative thread

I’m betting there will be at least one aspiration. It’ll probably just involve leveling up in gemology skill and selling stuff, though.

I think this looks great overall, but I'm a little sad that we're probably getting this in place of the jewelry and glassblowing machine from TS3. So if we don't get them in this pack, we will probably never get the ability to make stained glass windows, glass vases, etc.

We already have quite a lot of vases in game and stained glass windows. I would like if they gave us some vases with 1-3 slots that we could put flowers in, no arrangement necessary. Sometimes my sims collect some flowers but they don't do flower arranging and it would be nice if they could display the flowers they find anyway.

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?

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.

Oh that's true! :smile: Maybe the sixam gems and metals will affect aliens.

I'm concerned that the beautiful Crystal Tree will be locked into only certain seasons.

Then you can probably grow it indoor. When sheltered, seasonal plants will grow year round (but with slightly less crops). Don't worry :)

For me it is just a stuff pack and that is all it is and SPs do not excite me as it is just a filler.

I'm not really complaining because I think this pack offers a lot already. But - I really wish jewelry would also include brooches. I'm aware they might clip with some outfits (but so will necklaces as well), but I'd still want brooches and that I, the simmer, was to decide wheter it looks good or bad on a given outfit. Perhaps I would find a little cllipping was okay. Brooches would be fine for outfits that not allways work well with necklaces.

I would also like one neckless design to be medals, like we could use for contest. Gold, silver and bronze, but with the crystal crafting system we could use any existing metal and even add a gem on front if we wanted. I know medals are not regular jewelry, but it would be fun creating them with this sytem. If necklaces can be displayed on a display-torso-thing, even better for medals, as they could be a collection of decoratives on a shelf or ewall display. Hopefully medals can be added some other time, or in a patch even - although then they could probavbly not take advantage of the crystal creation system.

As most of us here like to use abbreviations for DLC this one might be confusing because the most logical would be CC. So saying you need CC to make jewelry... Confusing. Any other options?

I really hope that the Crystal Tree doesn't revert back to dirt even when sheltered. :'(
