Crystal Creations Positive Thoughts Thread

I can't wait to start making jewelry.I really like you have to craft these pieces to have them or have them gifted, or buy. When it can't be cheated, you really get your value from the pack's gameplay. I love the designs.
Arethebee's collection in cas I really love- so realistic like her cc. I love the new hair options. I feel like they are coming a long way with making the hair look feel and weigh like real hair. Everyone complains about the cas, but I really found some adorable pieces I can't wait to use. Build buy catalog is right up my alley. I think the tree is amazing and the gifting and engagement feature is amazing.

Oooo. Sparkly?

A kiss on the hand
May be quite continental
But moonstones are a girl's best friend

This is the first time I recall getting excited about the jewelry in a pack other than the 90's/Grunge items we got with Werewolves. I really haven't seen anything yet in any of the promo pics or trailers that I thought was bad. It's all been anywhere from good to gimme gimme?

Thanks for all the updates @simgirl1010. Everything looks absolutely awesome and I can't wait until the issues with the patch are smoothed out so I can get it. Hopefully the pack itself won't bring any new bugs so I can get it early next week. At least the mods I use are being updated pretty quickly.

Thanks very much for the information @simgirl1010 :) It is very helpful.

As a mix-and-matcher when it comes to aspirations, I'm happy that Crystal Crafter is a multi-stage aspiration again. Thank you for the info @simgirl1010 !

I feel this pack has it all and then some more. I didn't play sims 3, so can't compare but the level of detail in jewellery crafting looks stunning to me. It's also interesting how they went about wearing the jewellery. I didn't know before the stream that there is an aspiration too, so that was a nice surprise.

The recent patch day apocalypse and shopping cart controversy aside, I'm still over the moon about this pack! The only other Stuff Pack that ever had me this excited was Paranormal. As I said in an earlier post in another thread, I'm looking forward to combining the two and fighting ghostly home invasions with buffs and encouragement from my very own hand-crafted jewellery. I already have a handful of sims in mind who are destined to become gemologists, and as it happens, my machinima series is nearing a point where this will come in handy as well. All the more reason for me to hope that the bugs will be fixed and mods will be updated so I can get it soon.

I'm also astonished at the amount of content. Knowing how (not) ambitious TS4 usually is, they could easily have given us just the gemology table and a few clothes, without any of the special crystal powers, growable crystal trees or cross-pack compatibility, and called it a day. But they even included crystals and metals from other packs. Reading through the list of crystals and their effects when charged, one thing that's missing in my opinion is a crystal that makes you immune to extreme temperatures, but that's probably just because Seasons didn't come with one. Either way, this looks like a candidate for my top 3 Stuff Packs.
