Crystal Creations Negative thread

On AHQ the stuff packs abbreviations have SP, so this would be over there perhaps?

A plot twist that no one saw coming!

Why, oh WHY did they have to add those rings to the man bun hair ?
I mean they should have given us a ring-free version of it as well.

Same with the curly hairstyle with a hair clip : the hair clip is very pretty but a version with an elastic or nothing would have been very useful.

Also the spaghetti straps dress, why does it not have plain swatches without the plaid pattern ?


And why do we have to make the jewelry to see it in CAS ?


Build/Buy wise I love the bookshelves and I’m glad they gave us a version of it without a ladder and there’s a plain white swatch but why are all the books white as well ? It makes it weird looking. They often give us white and black swatches but every single thing on the object is white on white or black on black and so it lacks contrast.

Why isn't there a matching living room chair to go with the couch? :'(

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?

Back in Sims 2 and Sims 3 every stuff pack's name ended with 'Stuff' (Family Fun Stuff, Town Life Stuff, etc.) so every SP abbreviation ended with 'S', so I guess we could called it CCS...?

I think earlier stuff packs followed this name logic.
Now they are pursuing cooler titles and regard Stuff as a level instead of a part of the name.
However, some earlier stuff packs used an inclusive name too much, making it awkward for other packs on the same theme.


;) Name:

• Cool kitchen

:'( Name:

• Fitness, Toddler

:p Name:

• Backyard (Water slides are excluded by pool things, we have the hope for more pool facilities, thanks for wind chimes and bird feeders to re-define the theme)

:# Name:

• Kids room (can't build different kids' bedrooms with b/b items like Family Fun Stuff! Rather kids play sets),
  
• Movie hangout (Where can we hang out? Rather home theater)

I found it interesting in STEAM DLC management that Maxis used the full name with stuff pack instead of stuff since Nifty Knitting; added game pack and expansion pack for suffix since Batuu.

Well it is rather common issue with packs :sweat_smile: I just wished they'd get memo by now that we want cool stuff for dudes too

I notice often they don't usually always make matching sets. I saw a tiktok someone said old money aesthetic you never see matching sets. they usually have old antique pieces inherited over time, not store bought. Think it may be thrifted. lol j/k
I wish gave us matching sets. I like the velvet couch.

It's a shame mermaids don't get a special advantage from a crystal. The 3 big occults get a perk from a charged moonstone, and aliens one from one of the get to work Crystals. But I haven't heard anything for mermaids.

Also a freelance career about crafting jewellery is missing. Sure you can use the sales table but that's not really the same. That's a side hustle, not a job.

So far, no major bug reports!
Has anyone seen any issues?
