Complete Playthrough of The Sims 4: Crystal Creations

[@milesrobinson9437]

I love it when The Sims acknowledges creators in cute little ways like "Humphrey Co" or the default cow plant name being "Little Simsie"

[@ApoloDeLeo]

​@xxjenaveivelilsimzee (i think)

[@marblefanboy7724]

@xxjenaveiveand the cowplant terrarium in paranormal is default named mini simzee

[@smilealwaysnatasha3423]

@@marblefanboy7724do they name anything after any other creators or just Kayla? I barely catch anything lol

[@nmerc1006]

​@@smilealwaysnatasha3423 there's a hat you can put on the chickens from Cottage Living that is a reference to the hat that Dr. Gluon wears!

[@JournalNthoughts]

I think Risshella also has a mini cowplant as well and I think James Turner also is referenced in Jungle Adventure

[@laterkater4213]

haha, Sapphire was like "Ruby and I kissed and woohooed but then I didn't hear from her... Maybe if I hint I'm into someone else she'll commit" and it totally worked 🤣

[@tortillachips3911]

😂 I was gonna make this comment, thanks for making it first! 😂😂😂 Just fun little awkward mating dance stuff haha

[@cryptiiica]

as someone who has been a professional metalsmith/jeweler for the last 7 years.... this is my dream pack! The sims team missed no details with this one, the animation, cost of things, even the smallest details on the bench, THE TORCH. They had to have someone from the industry work with them on this. I giggled so many times at Kayla's comments, she doesn't even know how relatable they are, especially if you are just starting out in the industry.

[@Ash-id9ij]

I'm so glad you mentioned this! I've noticed the level of detail in a few other packs, and it just warms my heart knowing that took the time to at least consult with professionals to get the details right. It makes a world of difference 🥺🥺

[@AlexisTwoLastNames]

this makes me happy because while i am super critical of this game, i don't always wanna be. they do a lot right. i think simmers are right to have high expectations tho.

[@xoxo_noe]

Where have you seen the torch? Maybe they use it so quickly I haven't noticed? I haven't seen an animation with a jeweler's torch yet in my gameplay, and a lot of the gem cutting is unrealistic considering some need to be cut with a steady stream of water or they'll shatter. I've also never used an actual tape measurer while making jewelry lol so a mandrel (one for cuffs and one for rings) would have been better imo. I've been a professional jeweler for nearly a decade now myself, so I am really digging this pack and I do love it, but it's not all that spot on from what I have seen so far.

[@TheeShifty]

An hour?! She spoils us.

[@Simola992]

yup

[@oceangames4433]

Yeah and she just started doing these complete playthroughs which I am very very happy about.

[@King.of.Battleships]

Yes, I love when Kayla does play throughs.

[@Eri.Glitches]

100%

[@TheLillkill]

Ahah I just wrote the same 😂😂 I am hypedddd!!❤🎉

[@LadyCynthiana]

I love that it's implied that Stanley Humphrey not only crafted the gemology table, but started an entire gemology furniture business so that other sims could craft things with gems. And that it also implies the team's admiration for lilsimsie living her dreams and also letting Stanley turn all his get-rich-quick schemes into livable businesses. Things like this make me love the Sims team (and I hope their higher-ups at EA realize what gems they have working for them and compensate them well and give them plenty of time so they can keep making good content like this pack).

[@HankThePug1119]

Fun fact: In Ireland, there is a tradition for woman to propose on leap day. Funny enough, this video was uploaded on leap day, and her sim, Ruby, is a woman!

[@Apinkpridegirl]

That’s also a tradition in Sweden! ❤

[@EmsIsFab]

OKAY but JOHNATHON Landgraab???? They adopted a new Johnny??? that is hilarious

[@kenziefahy]

ruby and sapphire moved as fast as most sapphic relationships do lol

[@thebutterfly8262]

I cannot understate the amount of joy I get from watching 2,5+ hours of content from several different creators on a stuff pack I know for sure I’m never going to buy

[@ashleyschmidt2413]

Me af! I don’t even play sims but I’m constantly watching creators play 😂

[@tortillachips3911]

I'll buy it, but I ain't ever gonna use it 😂😂😂

[@AlexisTwoLastNames]

@@tortillachips3911 then why buy? honest q!

[@tortillachips3911]

@AlexisTwoLastNames I like having options available to me, haha. And I'll probably use an item or two once or twice in the next couple years 🤔😅😌

[@AlexisTwoLastNames]

@@tortillachips3911 thanks for responding cuz i was genuinely curious. :)

[@lizburgess4398]

Scientist career is good to pair with this. Lots of digsites and you can ask co-workers for metals and crystals.

[@etherealkitsune]

I'm honestly happy that the jewelry is locked behind actually playing through the pack; it makes it so people have to delve in (to some extent) and explore the features they're paying for. Sure you can cheat the skill level to (likely) unlock everything available for crafting, but you still have to actively produce the items to unlock them in CAS, and that's the fun part for me. Looks like a fun pack overall, though, and I'll definitely pick it up when I get paid. Still interested in seeing how well a weenie themed Get Rich Quick scheme would go with Stanley, though, if that's something you'd do :)

[@skunkjo3195]

Yeah I agree. If one character has unlocked it in your household, will it be available in your household forever? Bc on legacy that also makes it pretty easy (and would be nice)

[@karen_lobster]

I totally agree but with one caveat: I would LOVE some cross pack compatibility. I’m thinking jewelry sold at the flea markets and at community centers. I want to be able to buy the jewelry from other sims out in the world

[@imasunshine800]

I wish they had a few swatches of the jewelry without the buffs in cas. Like give us a bit at least!

[@ilovemydog615]

@@karen_lobsteragreed!!

[@whitcassie]

Yeah and for me personally, having easy access to something takes away all the motivation to earn it 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Hollo1011]

The Gemology Table by Humphrey name.. is so awesome!!!

[@King.of.Battleships]

This pack gives Nanci Landgrab breaking into jewelry stores and building her massive jewelry collection and fortune vibes. I mean, she is a snob and minor crime lord so it makes sense.

[@izzywes9839]

THE STEVEN UNIVERSE REFERENCE! I’m gonna cry 🥹

[@evecreepypasta6473]

Same here I thought of that too when I heard the names of her sims.

[@baoziday5178]

The way it just clicked in my mind after seeing this comment 😭

[@sisterkatiefran]

She made a Garnet 🥰

[@lumity8630]

YESSSSS

[@keisuperstar]

came here having this very thought🥺

[@karmicfenix]

Aww if she keep playing with them she should name their baby Garnet!!🥺🥺 Very Crystal Gems vibes🥺🥺🥺

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed that!! ❤❤❤

[@AlexisTwoLastNames]

amethyst cuz purple between a ruby n sapphire sets of moms :DD

[@venus_e_clipse]

@@AlexisTwoLastNamesthe reason they said that is because of Steven Universe. The characters ruby and sapphire are married and when they “merge” they make a character named garnet.

Ooo! A full 50 minute playthrough of the pack? So fabulous! Thank you! Congrats on being immortalized in The Sims for a third time too! 1st) Lil Simzee Cowplant default name 2nd) Simsie being an official Simlish word for "people" (heard in Simlish songs) 3rd) Humphrey Inc!!

[@CryowenFrostmage]

As soon as Better Build Buy has an update to remove the shopping cart button, I'm 100% getting this pack. This is the gameplay I've been craving but didn't know I needed. I *love* collecting materials in-game, but never have anything to really do with them.

[@MargieLeigh3]

i believe the shopping button is in the update but i’m not too sure!

[@megahnw]

The shopping cart button isn’t specific to the pack unfortunately :(

[@CryowenFrostmage]

@@megahnwI'm aware, but I'm not giving EA money while I have to look at a flashing "give us money" button.

@@MargieLeigh3Yup! Which is why I haven't updated my game. So I couldn't even use the pack if I got it atm.

[@nomnomninja1]

I just recently started a sort of super sim playthrough raising a kid from birth and trying to do everything in the game. This looks like it'll be really useful for getting the collections tab filled out.

[@Katrin_Tenni]

Thank you for all videos that you make. I had a really hard, horrible day and cried for several hours and then you posted this video and it helped me to calm down. I’m so happy that I found your channel cuz you are really similar to me in some ways and seeing you doing something that you enjoy gives me the strength to do things that I like.

omg the Stanley Humphrey's gemology table is so iconic! congrats on again being the one engraved in sims forever!

This video is honestly the best ad for the pack, I'm definitely going to buy it now that I know about all the perks associated with wearing the different gems. It's going to be so good for my super sim challenge save!

Just bought Crystal Creations only 30mins ago, so excited! Made my new Sim, working on a house right now. Played Sims 4 for some years on and off, but I'm still pretty clueless in so many ways lol Always loved your videos, which are so valuable and fun for me, and this new content has renewed my inspiration. Thanks lilsimsie, you are the best!

I kinda wish that the crystals gave off negative things/emotions/moodlets too, like certain crystals/jewelry sets makes a sim unlucky or accident prone or something, I'd literally give my most hated townie a crystal like that😂

@@poorlittlewritergirl Aww thank you

[@justkate2007]

I buy everything (and pre order when that's available). I buy even when I'm not into the pack, but I've been stoked since this one was announced. I'm not a crystal person IRL (as in I don't believe that they have special properties) but I do collect them just because I think they're pretty. And while the style of the pack isn't really my aesthetic, I still really love everything in it. I love hobbies! I've also been playing with a sim named Jade completely coincidentally for a few months now (I don't really get a lot of time to play, unfortunately) so she's def got a new hobby!

[@lizhart81]

I love that your sims all look like individuals. From the skin details you choose to the range of different body types, I really appreciate that they look like a spectrum of regular people!

[@meganripley6286]

Wow I’ve been playing sims 4 for a few years, I’m new to your channel from trying to find Crystal Creations videos (realized how big you are in the community so of course I’m following now) and had no idea about that tree secret glade 🤣 cracked me up because you did it all so casually like… its obviously a well known thing and I’m so in the dark LOL. Love it. Loved this video, thank you! New fan here!

I have wanted a pack like this for so long! I am a book lover, jewelry maker, and crystal collector so again, right of my alley!

[@onion-c7s]

OMG Hear me out everyone, what if Quinn Tinker from the Legacy Challenge was into gemmology 👀 They could make jewelry for their inlaws as a way to ask for a blessing. I think it would be so CUTE 💕❤ PLEASE let lilsimsie see this EDIT: Sorry that I initially used he/him pronouns. I didn't mean to misgender them, it was just a slip of the tongue (or in this case, fingers) My bad!!!

[@yungsapphic]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but the Sims team did not label some of (most of) the new clothing items under male OR female, so they won't automatically show up in CAS. Make sure to deselect those and see the extra bits. Must have been an oversight on their part 🙄

Just a silly little fun fact for everyone. In my opinion the BEST PLACE to find gems is the park in oasis springs, it takes a moment but SO MANY will spawn and will continue spawning as your sim is on the lot (they’ll even respawn in spots you’ve already mined). I do cheat a little and teleport my sim to the gems directly since it takes too long to run around, but yeah!
