Get ready to create the jewelry of your dreams in this Stuff Pack that is sure to help you reach all of your crafty goals! Collecting & Crafting Nothing is more special than the pieces you hand-craft with love. With Crystal Creations, a Sim can create over 1,000 different permutations of bejeweled items, choosing to make a fashion statement, declaration of love or a sparkly gift for a friend. To create these dazzling items, Sims can develop the Gemology Skill. This shiny new skill can be learned through practice as your Sim crafts at the new Gemology Table. Craft jewelry and cut gemstones in stunning new designs. As your Sim's skill improves, so will the quality of their creations. At the Gemology Table, Sims can cut gemstones and make stunning designs with the Crystals they collect and fashion them into engagement rings and other jewelry, including assorted rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings. From selecting your favorite Crystal variant to choosing which metals suit a Crystal best, like Silver, Gold or Rose Gold, your Sim will feel like a master crafter once surrounded by their colorful jewelry. You can also use any of the 22 metals found with The Sims 4 worlds including Baconite, Death Metal and Romantium. Send a message of love or friendship by selecting the perfect shape of a Gemstone, choose from 10 different cuts including a Heart, Plumbob or Gnome shape. The Gemology Skill can be boosted when a Sim reads the Gemology Skill book and when a Sim continues to craft Crystal Creations at the Gemology Table. A Sim can sell, collect and gift their crafted creations to other Sims. Connect with Crystal Energy Don’t you just love a little moonlight? We sure do! We’re excited to share that Crystal Creations utilizes the Base Game Lunar Cycle. This means that in Crystal Creations, Sims can search out Crystals on their computer or pluck them off a Crystal Tree, and once the Crystal is cut into a Gemstone, the jewelry and Gemstones can be charged with the Crystal determining the effect. The objects must be placed on the Crystal Charging Grid. Once charged, Sims can wear or display their pieces, experiencing the effects of the Crystal to positively or negatively impact relationships, emotions and in-game progress. Depending on the Crystal the effects of the charging may wane over time and your Sims will need to recharge to feel the full effect once again. With the introduction of 3 new crystals, Amber, Jade and Moonstone, there are currently 27 total crystals across all packs for Sims to discover. Sims can find Crystals anywhere! Locate Common, Uncommon and Rare Crystals in dig spots and rocks on any world or lot, while Uncommon Crystals can also be purchased from the computer or at the Gemology Table and Rare Crystals can only be found in different worlds or grown on a Crystal Tree. Find all different varieties of Crystals around The Sims 4 worlds including: The Sims 4 Base Game Crystals: (Common) Emerald, Citrine, Quartz, Alabaster, Rose Quartz, Peach Quartz, Ruby, Orange Topaz, Sapphire, Turquoise, (Uncommon) Simanite, Shinolite, Amethyst, Hematite, Diamond, Fire Opal, (Rare) Jonquilyst, Plumbite, Rainborz, Jet The Sims 4 Get To Work Expansion Pack: (Common) Nitelite, CrandestineThe Sims 4 Jungle Adventure Game Pack: (Uncommon) Amazonite, (Rare) AlexandriteThe Sims 4 Crystal Creations Stuff Pack: (Common) Jade, (Uncommon) Moonstone, (Rare) Amber Dark and Dreamy The ultimate crystal adventure isn’t complete without the right dash of mystery and intrigue. When it’s time to collect your colorful Crystals and slip into colorful crystal slippers, bejeweled leather boots and artisan clothing, including button down vests and shirts and floral tops with puffed sleeves.

Official Blog ARETHABEE CREATES EYE-CATCHING JEWELRY FOR THE SIMS 4 CRYSTAL CREATIONS STUFF PACK You Make The Sims Featuring ArethaBeeOur players make The Sims every day. They play to express their individualities, interests, and aspirations. They inspire us to keep innovating and improving. They’re creators in every sense of the word and we’re thrilled to share a detailed look at our latest collaboration with Sims player, ArethaBee. ArethaBee is a renowned Simmer known for her the exquisitely detailed custom content she creates for The Sims. Her creations boast gorgeous hairstyles, fashion-forward pieces, and luxurious jewelry all meant to enrich her fellow Simmers’ gameplay. Her journey with the life simulation game started at the age of 10, dissatisfied with the limitations of online dress up games, she craved a platform that would allow her to dive deeper into storytelling and playing out characters' lives. When a friend brought over a copy of The Sims for her to play, she was hooked, “it was actually my dream game! I instantly fell in love. I made my first piece of custom content years ago for The Sims 2 and I was amazed by how much I could customize the game with my own imagination, I think it’s one of the features that makes The Sims so special to me”. The Sims™ 4 Crystal Creations Stuff Pack, features a collaboration with ArethaBee that brings three unique jewelry pieces to Create-A-Sim, a necklace, earrings, and a ring. We sat down with the creator to dive into the creative process. What is your favorite The Sims 4 pack?It is very hard to pick just one as my gameplay tends to change around different packs. Currently, it might be The Sims 4 Cottage Living or The Sims 4 Horse Ranch expansion packs as I really enjoy playing with loads of cute animals and farming.What is the most chaotic thing you’ve ever made your Sim do?One day I realized my game had been too peaceful, revolving around mundane friendships. I became inspired and had to try doing the opposite. I made an evil Sim that was basically going around, fighting and pranking other townies. Even then, it didn't seem like enough chaos, so I ended up sending her to the Realm of Magic to become a witch, master many spells (especially the mischief and untamed spells) only to make whoever she didn't get along with miserable. I still play with her sometimes and I have to say that Sims in her town are almost always in a bad mood.Describe the jewelry pieces that you made.I’ve created three pieces of jewelry for this pack. A necklace, earrings and ring that can be used as a set or worn as separate pieces. The necklace is made of a metal snake chain and colorful beads featuring a bright gemstone. The earrings have multiple hoops, as I just love stacked jewelry! I am really happy with the versatility of the ring as it matches the other accessories I made but could also be worn on its own or as a wedding ring.Where did you draw inspiration from? Do you have designs, pieces, or experiences that you drew from?My inspiration was definitely the jewelry designs I love and wear in real life. I wanted them to add variety to what we already had in the game while reflecting my style. Personally, I prefer simple accessories combined together that work for all sorts of different looks. That’s also why I wanted to add color with the beads and gemstones.Can you explain the design process for making these jewelry pieces?I started by looking for references that were similar to what I wanted to make for each piece of jewelry. This was probably the longest step in the whole process. Once I was certain about the styles I wanted to go for, I created 3D models of the concepts, playing around with the ideas and references I had. The last step was to pick color combinations that would be both fun and simple for everyday use. It was amazing getting feedback and encouragement from the Sims team during this process.What are you most excited about for The Sims 4 Crystal Creations Stuff Pack?I LOVE styling jewelry and am so excited to explore the new features that come along with this Stuff Pack that allows our Sims to create their own jewelry. Of course, seeing my work in the official gameplay after making my own custom content for a long time is another level of excitement for me. The 10 year old me that fell in love with this game wouldn't believe it.How do you envision players styling these jewelry pieces in their gameplay?I think while these jewelry pieces can be used for casual/daily looks, they can also be styled into colorful, fun or formal looks with the different swatch options. I hope that other Simmers enjoy using them for different kinds of occasions, I cannot wait to see the looks they will create with them.The Sims 4 Crystal Collections Stuff Pack will be available for purchase beginning February 29 in The Sims 4 on PC via EA app, Mac® via Origin, Epic Games Store, Steam®, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One systems.https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/news/ymts-with-arethabee?utm_campaign=sims4_hd_ww_ic_soco_twt_sp49-ymts-tw&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&cid=79490&ts=1708657114638

I was originally thinking of bridal store , but maybe I replace Ward Park in Del Sol Valley with small, but ahh so expensive jewelry store with the Get Famous lot trait, for rich and famous only 🙌

@Ellupelluellu About your jewelry store idea, why not both? In Tartosan Sun Siobhan and Luna already have a bridal boutique so I'm thinking about having them sell jewelry too. What bride doesn't need a classy pair of statement earrings to go along with her gown. She'll definitely need a necklace. Why not continue the double dipping and sell couples their rings too while they're at it. One stop wedding shopping and planning.

@simgirl1010 Ooh I hadn't seen the new crystals yet. I love Jade I've got a jade face roller set and I put the rock style ones on display as they are so pretty 🤣. But I also love Moonstone.
I'm so glad they added more crystals.

@simgirl1010 Thanks for posting the infos about the effects of the crystals!

I don't want to sound grumpy, and I mean, I really like the idea of the new stuff pack, and I'm grateful for it, but... I look at this picture of the crystals, and the Jade kinda looks uuuuuuuugly. In real life, jade stone comes in fifty different shades of green, and they could have picked any one of them for the game, but nope.... they picked the ugliest green they could think of. At least in my opinion!

@2hCreations you're welcome.
And yes, I have seen some gorgeous, vibrant colors of jade.
Was hoping we'd get the negative crystal effects today. Maybe tomorrow.

I am so excited for this pack release. I have been wanting a jewellery making pack for so long.
That is one of my main wishes completed. Now there are just a few items on my wish list:
a sewing machine and dressmaking pack
a pottery and glass blowing pack
a car hobby pack with an older run down car that you upgrade in the garage (a rally track or race track and pit lane back into the garage; and/or a car show that you enter your upgraded car in)
