When it comes to jewelry, there are a lot of different pieces like bracelets, earrings, and necklaces that can add to your style.

Everything Included In The Sims 4: Crystal Creations

We take a look at everything you can expect from The Sims 4: Crystal Creations.

Along with being stylish, however, there are a lot of different abilities and uses that can be created with the different gemstones you can find. A lot of what you want to make might come down to looks and your personal style, but there are a lot of items that maybe well worth creating and keeping around.

8 Socialite

An Uncommon Metal

Socialite is a uncommon metal that you can find throughout the base game map. This metal is a dull blue color, that goes well with basically every gemstone. Metals are just down to design and do not add anything else to the piece you are creating.

Socialite is known to increase the value of whatever you are creating, and as the metal is uncommon, but not rare, it's a good one to stock up on and use when it comes to creating your own pieces. This metal can really increase the sophistication of your jewelry.

Base game areas like Willow Creek and Oasis Springs have the most dig sites and gemstone rocks to excavate. If you want more gems, it's worth having a home in one of those areas.

7 Citrine

Money, Without The Hacks

Every single person that has ever played the Sims has likely used money hacks at one point or another. When it comes to gaining money, it can be a bit of a grind at first! If you create a piece with Citrine, charge it, and wear it, you will find that your Sim can then find small amounts of Simoleons from doing stuff around the house.

Discover the benefits of charging your crystal creations in The Sims 4.

Mundane things like cooking, watching TV, and even sleeping can suddenly result in pocket change. Though this isn't enough money to really do much with, a little bonus at the start of the game can be quite helpful. Citrine is a common gemstone as well, so it's easy to find them.

6 Plumbite

Keep Your Needs In Check

When it comes to managing your Sim's needs, there are so many tasks that they need to do. If you are looking for a bit of help with managing all of your needs, you can find some Plumbite and create a bit of jewelry with that. Charging and wearing the piece will help your general needs decrease more slowly over time.

This can help you have more time in your day to increase your skills or do some of the tasks that your Sim wants to do. If you are a fan of parties, you can also spend your time hanging out with others, without having to worry about your needs. On top of that, any Sims who are around you will be in a happier mood, which helps with conversations.

If you are looking for more ways to find gemstones, you can make a member of your home work within the scientist career track. There are tons of dig sites in the work area!

5 Amethyst

It's My Birthstone

Amethyst isn't on this list just because it's my birthstone and therefore the most beautiful gemstone in the game. Amethyst is actually really useful to craft with. If you feel like you need more time in the day, you can wear a charged amethyst so that your sleep need increases faster while sleeping. You'll be well rested in half the time.

Along with not needing to sleep for as long, your Sim will have a greater chance of waking up with the Inspired Lucid Dream Moodlet, setting your day up for greatness. The only real downside is that you need to charge your gemstones at night, and you'll need to wear amethyst while you sleep for your need to increase faster. With that in mind, it's best to have two sets of amethyst jewelry, one to charge and one to wear.

4 Orange Topaz

Creative Activities Done Easy

Orange Topaz is one of the first gemstones you will likely be crafting with, and as such, it has a lot of positives to it! When wearing an item with this gemstone, you will see that your Sim can gain creative skills at a much faster rate and are more likely to create masterpieces when crafting. If you are looking to have an artistic Sim, this is a good way to fast track it.

If you are looking to do a lot of creative tasks, your Sim will also take longer to burn out on creative activities and they won't experience writers block either, which will allow them to do these tasks for much longer. Orange Topaz is a common gemstone, so it's very easy to purchase or find.

Most common gemstones can be purchased in the Shop that comes with your gemstone crafting table. The Magic School also carries gemstones, if you have that expansion!

3 Turquoise

A Better Social Life

If you are looking to have a Sim that is very popular or needs to have a lot of Charisma skills, you should consider using Turquoise so that you can achieve your goals faster. Turquoise jewelry can allow your Sim to gain the Charisma skill much faster, so you won't need to talk in front of the mirror for long.

You will also be able to succeed at Friendly social interactions at a much higher rate, so you can become friends with other Sims more quickly. Torquoise is a common metal, so it's easy for you to dominate your own social life.

2 Amber

A Helpful Boost

Amber does a bit of a mixed bag of different things, that all are positive and could help you with your goals. When you put on amber jewelry, that is charged, the weather will turn to sunny. Though the weather might not be a good reason to use this gemstone, it's a nod to the type of day you will be having.

Your Sim will continue having their perfect day by not being able to start fires when cooking and by having only successful social interactions. Amber is a common gemstone, so it's easy to force a perfect day for your Sim.

If your Sim is wearing something with Jade, they will have a chance of finding gemstones when doing tasks around the house.

1 Hematite

Live Forever

When it comes to the grim reaper and the death of your Sim, possibly from old age or from dangerous activities like swimming forever, there isn't really a way to avoid it. Until now! If your Sim is wearing a charged item that has Hematite in it, they will be immortal.

This can make for some funny scenarios or just keep your Sim safe when you are worried they have grown too old to continue on. Hematite is uncommon, but not rare, so there is a good chance you will find some as well.
