What Packs will you combine with Crystal Creations?

I'm thinking Get to Work with Vampires, Realm of Magic, Werewolves, Paranormal & Strangerville. :p ;)

I already have a shop that sells crystals, maybe I will update it to include metals too. It's designed to look a bit like a jewelry store, on a lot with other shops as well, but I'm thinking of building it on it's own separate lot now that it's more useful. Would have been nice if sims could order certain designs be made for them if they provided the stones and the metals. I'll probably have more ideas once I know more about how the pack works and what's possible to do with them.

I don't play with occults, so until I actually get the pack and see what all can actually be done with it I'm probably going to have my sim have jewelry making as a hobby and probably set aside an area in my bridal shop to sell engagement rings.

Journey to Batuu. Gotta make use of those crystals that aren't good enough to go into lightsabers. And also, not every force sensitive sim is a Jedi, some minor talents may just have a knack for gemology.

Interesting concept. I have a character I made for Batuu, unfortunately I found out that she can’t take her dog there, so I haven’t actually played her, or even made her home yet. I sure wish a sim could live in Batuu ( with animals ) ( without cheats ). But, I have been trying to think which sims I want to do jewelry making. And my Batuu sim might just be one of the ones to give that skill. I still haven’t found quite even where I want to put her. I’d like to have her in a steam punk world, but my mostly realistic play has not found a place for her yet. Yeah, now I want a steam punk world….obviously where sims CAN LIVE.

I have an Irish couple in Henford on Bagley that has chickens, a cow, and a hunting dog. They also have a fishing pond and greenhouse, he is also a level 10 in handiness skill and has a work bench. They are pretty much a Jack of all trades ( well many anyway ) I have been planning on setting up a store for them in downtown HOB to share their wares, since I don’t have many retail stores, and they collect things from Sulani, he makes furniture, and can upgrade things like Murphy beds ( which means they are actually useable….. lol ). And I believe I will give he or his wife the crystal/jewelry making skill. Many packs have already come into use with this couple ( various produce from many packs ). Island living for collections and fishing, cat’s and dogs with their hunting dog, they also have a dumpster from Eco Living. She crochets ( nifty knitting ), and of course the animals from cottage living. So, crystal creations will be another added to that. I use clothes and build buy from all packs though, and have all packs and kits up to For Rent. I haven’t bought anything after For Rent and won’t till they fix it.

My good vampire (Vampires) who lives in Glimmerbrook (ROM) will marry a jewellery maker. She will have a retail store (GTW) in Copperdale (HSY). I'm thinking she might sell flowers (Seasons) as well. They also have chickens (CoL) and goats (HR).

Paranormal, Jungle Adventure, and Seasons, to name a few. I'm imagining a household of regular sims who can talk to and summon the dead, cast curses through ancient artefacts, manipulate others' emotions with scented flower bouquets, change the weather, and create jewellery with magical properties, but without any actual magic despite displaying all signs of being occults. Should be fun!

I rarely think about which pack I'm playing, at least not with the packs that offer general gameplay like growing together or seasons. Obviously jewelry stores where I hope there will be options to make those NPC-run stores, so you can set it up using debug and not have to make every jewelry I want to sell (it's one of the things that bug me endlessly with the nectar making). Equally obvious a piece of jewelry might become a family heirloom (if it fits the story, characters and if it can be stored easily) and if it makes sense someone might very well propose with a ring they made themselves. Knowing me, however, it might take some time before I get that far. There are still so many features I haven't tried out in so many different packs that I have enough to keep me busy for a while.

I haven't thought about specific packs. My answer would be somewhat similar to @musteni with a combination of several elements from various DLC. Different packs but too much to single out a specific pack as a pack combination.

Theme wise I think the new pack goes well with
- Realm of magic (magic effects of charged jewels),
- werewolves (influence of the moon),
- jungle adventure (finding crystals on the road and cutting gems on the archeology table),
- paranormal (the general vibe of the trailer)
- nifty knitting (plopsy and both SP about making items sims can wear)
- get to work (open a shop)
