I was struggling with all the different designs in the pack. The preview pictures and the jewels on their little stands just didn't work for me. I wanted to see them all in CAS so I have created a little overview so I can properly choose a design. This also helps to see if a bracelet or ring goes on a left or right hand.
These are all 48 designs that can be made, in the combination of rosegold with diamond.
Some observations:
- The basic set is the only set that doesn't require a crystal.
- The basic earrings are the only earrings that are not symmetrical.
- The starry set is the only design where the bracelet and matching ring go on different hands. For all the other designs it's either both on the right hand or both on the left
A very big thanks your to the simmer with EA_ID SilverHydrurga for creating these designs and uploading them to the gallery. They saved me a lot of time.
@atreya33 That's great! It's going to be really useful for players to see that guide.
If you're looking for rare gemstones the dig site next to Canter Cottage in Chestnut Ridge has been generous. My sim has gone there 5 times and come back with 3 rare gems. A Rainborz, an Amber, and a Literalite.😎
Thanks very much for the helpful information! @DaniRose2143 🙂 It is great to know that it is a good place to get rare gems.
I don’t know whether anyone has done testing with pregnancies yet but I’ve been doing that with my current family. The main sim, Isolde, created a set of fertility jewellery. She put it on after she got pregnant the first time - didn’t change anything about the pregnancy. The second time, she had the charged jewellery on before getting pregnant and got pregnant with twins. However, because she didn’t recharge the jewellery, when she went to have the baby at the hospital, she only had one of the twins. The third time, she put on half the jewellery at the start of the pregnancy and became pregnant with twins. Halfway through the pregnancy, she swapped jewellery items so she was always wearing charged items, and it resulted in both twins being born. So it seems that your sim has to have the jewellery charged all the time (or at the very least, at the start and end of the pregnancy).
Thanks for the helpful information about the pregnancies and the need to have charged jewellery on all the time, and for sharing what happened with your sim @MayaRose1138 It is good to know for simmers who would like to have twins.
@MayaRose1138 thanks for that info. 🙂
Just a note that the crystal for fertility is Shinolite.

Oops, I forgot to mention that.
Does anyone know how long it takes to get a crystal tree to magnificent? My sim planted before she had children and the oldest is now a teen, and the tree is still only at Excellent!
- @MayaRose1138 It does take a while I found but the best thing to do is fertilise it at every opportunity. My Sim had 2 dogs so that was very helpful lol and one dog got sick and made a golden "deposit" in the garden and that worked a treat on the crystal tree.
But a word of warning...once mine reached Magnificent it turned into a dirt pile and had to grow back again. If you don't harvest it in time before 7am on the day that happens it will leave crystals floating in mid air, go into build mode and move the dirt pile into the household inventory and back again to separate it from the crystals so they are not left floating. Bonus though is that it will produce rare crystals once Magnificent. I hope that your crystal tree soon gets to magnificent @MayaRose1138 🙂 It can take quite a long time.
