Re: Crystal Creations SP Gameplay Discussion

Your plans for your jewellery shop sound great!  @simsplayer818 🙂 When you have done it, it would be lovely to see photos of it. 
It is great that you got inspiration for it by a guest house that you saw on the travel show.

Positive effects of crystals

Your Sim will feel the most refreshed.

Amber
Amber will bring sunny weather and good vibes.

Moonstone
Moonstone will make the Bored moodlets vanish 10x faster.
Werewolves have 2x Fury decay and 5x Rampage decay.
Mages have 0x failure if uncharged and 0.5x failure if overcharged.
Vampires have a slower thirst decay when Moonstone is equipped.

Sapphire

Except for old age.

Turquoise
Turquoise ups your Sims’s charisma gains and increases extra success in friendly socials.

Ruby
Your Sims will have no bad whohoo outcomes.

Jade
Jade will increase your Sims’ chances of finding crystals.

I am looking forward to the new stuff pack too! @LennyOgg 🙂 With you being a goldsmith by profession, it is a great recommendation by you of the good work that the sims team did on creating the workbench and tools. 
It is great that the different jewellery bring with them features. 
I like the furniture that is also coming with the pack. 

Thankyou for posting in the information about the effects of the charged crystals @simgirl1010 🙂It is helpful to know the effects, and look forward to using the crystals when the pack is released, 

@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.

Developer Walkthrough tomorrow Wednesday, February 28.

Thanks for posting the links to the upcoming  Developer Walk through of the pack  @simgirl1010 🙂 It will great to watch it! 

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)

@rosemow I'm really eager fo a new hobby. I love skilling up.

@OzSimsFamily love the first two items on your wish list. I'm kind of so-so for the car hobby but would like to see it because I know so many simmers are hoping for something like that.

A sewing machine would be great in the game! @OzSimsFamily 🙂

It is great that your shop is almost ready, just in time for the release of the pack! @simsplayer818  🙂 

Here's the shell of my crystal shop, Mystical Crystals. Inside is mostly empty except for sparkly window drapes and some test shelving. But the exterior is done and the treehouse living apartment is ready and furnished. The Gnarled Oak Tree when shrunk down and moved around a bit makes useful mock branches to "hold up" the treehouse and there's a secret door in the shop that leads to the footbridge.

It's going to have wildflower bouquets for sale on the ground floor and some potions around the walls to add some atmosphere. The 2nd and 3rd floors will have the creations from the new pack.

There's a public bathroom, some outdoor seating and a swing. I don't think I'll be adding it to the gallery as the flower arrangements don't transfer over and I'll need to add those first before it changes ownership. My Spellcaster Aurora is making half the stock and the next Sim, Lyra will make the crystal items when she buys the mysterious little shop.

Edit: changed my mind lol added it to the Gallery 20/03.

Mystical Crystals is lovely! @simsplayer818 🙂 The exterior design is very great! The patterned and flowerbox windows are pretty. The treehouse living apartment is lovely. Very nice furnishing of the bedroom. The curtains are pretty. It is great that you used the shrunken gnarled oak tree to hold up the treehouse. 

@simsplayer818 what a cute little shop. And I love the name! 

@simsplayer818 

Your shop is so cute and creative! 😎

There's no spoiler, I just messed up! 🙌

Your idea of using MOO to have potions hovering midair below  the ceiling in your shop is very creative and great! @simsplayer818 🙂 It will look great!
