The crystal gnome. Ahh, now I want to make a crystal forest with crystal gnomes, a crystal cave and maybe even a crystal house somehow
Don't forget a crystal dragon. One day...- Hm, I assume gemology skill will affect the quality of the crafted jewelry piece (looks like it re trailer), so now I wonder how quality will affect the crafted item - will other sims notice that my sim wears tip top quality earrings crafted from Rare crystals? And not poorly crafted earrings based on Common crystals? There ought to be some difference between Rare and Common, right? And how about value? Will the Rare and well crafted thing sell for more than Common abnd poorly crafted? If so, how will value transefer to CAS? Might be similar to knitting, but I really wish that sims will notice my Duchess' Rare gems at the gala party :)

OH OKAY IDEA
here me out on this one
I surround a lot with sized-up crystals and junk. Like a mountain of crystals that encircle the lot. And if your sim manages to find a way around it, they can visit the monochrome land of crystal, play in the sacred healing waters (ie a pool), dance among the fairy lights (firefly effects), take from the crystal trees and plant them in the land's white sand terrain, and praise the crystal dragon, so that it may bless them with crystal scales on their skin.
It could also be a place for sims to charge their crystals, with a charging grid placed on an altar somewhere on the lot. It could be witch-exclusive, because sims would need to use brooms to fly over the mountains."Gordy;c-18354012" wrote:

Well, you sold me on the idea. I'm so ready for a dragon scale blessing.- I might put crystal trees somewhere in Mt.Komorebi once I have my hands on this pack
- Honestly, the trailer was meh to me, but after reading the blog post I am more interested in this. I might wait a bit to get until we see how buggy it is, but if no real issues probably will be buying sooner than later.
If you're like me you haven't done anything with crystals for a while so here's a little refresher course for those who want to get a head start on collecting.
The Sims 4 Crystal Collecting Guide
Gems List and Possible Elements from Geo Council
Collecting Crystals in The Sims 4 means digging up Rocks found around the game's Neighborhoods, Parks, and Secret Areas. Any rock could yield any of these, but don't expect it to be a quick process. Metals, Crystals, MySims Trophies, and Fossils all come from the same spawners so this is quite a long process. Rares are more likely to be found off the beaten path, such as in Forgotten Grotto or areas distant from homes in Oasis Springs. See the Guide to Collections for some general Tips to finding them.
The following list of Crystals indicates what Elements that gem may be broken down to when it is sent to the Geo Council. This is how you collect Elements. You'll get one of the Elements listed in the mail the following day after sending it for $20. The Elements further to the right are generally more rare than those first listed, so it may take multiple attempts to finish that collection.
Get to Work adds two new Crystals: Nitelite and Crandestine, which can be found on the Planet Sixam.
https://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/collections/crystals.php- I really love the vibe of this pack. It gives a reason to actually go and collect crystals in the world again. Normally I just sell them and dont keep them around. Also liking the that we get a much better way to display them instead of having just rows and rows of tables or those massive get to work display racks.
Im gonna enjoy combining all the RoM witchy gameplay like potions with herbalism from OR with this new gemologist skill. I think they will complement each other nicely for an ultimate spell caster.
I’m also thinking Sylvan Glade is gonna get some kind of makeover. There will definitely be a crystal tree growing in there. I absolutely love the jewelry displays for retail sales.
- I am really excited for this stuff pack, even more so than I was for the chefs hustle pack. Over one thousand different pieces of jewelry, using different designs, different metals, and different crystals. Now my rotational sims can have their own unique pieces of jewelry. I’m wondering if sims will be able to pick their favorite crystal/and or metal ( or have them as likes or dislikes ) and talk about it?
I really like the new hairstyles ( one thing I have always loved about stuff packs ). I like some of the CAS too. I think some of my older sims will be able to wear some of the clothes, and it also looks like some will go well with Horse Ranch too ( and young adult sims ). I like the new low boots too.
I love the look of the Build buy too. I love those box shelves with the glass covers, and the other shelves. The book case with the ladder is so cool too. And that chair that looks like a desk chair ( hope that’s what it is ), I really like that too.
All that clutter and wall hangings will make it look like a real jewelry creators place too.
Love the new gemology skill too. I wonder if there will be any new aspirations or traits?
And the horoscope hints, I hope that means our sims will be getting horoscope/Romantic likes and dislikes soon too! This stuff pack would go so well with a romance gamepack or Expansion pack.
