The Sims 4 announces Crystal Creations as the first Stuff Pack of 2024

Crystals and metals are now multipurpose.

Each year, Maxis releases various packs for The Sims 4, ranging from large-scale expansions to smaller additions that introduce new clothes and furniture. Since 2024 began, the Sims team has released various teasers for new kits and packs, with Crystal Creations being the first Stuff Pack to launch this year on February 29.

Originally teased in the Sensationally You announcement and later on February 19 through The Sims social media platforms, the official announcement premiered on February 20 to celebrate the launch of Crystal Creations Stuff Pack. The pack features a workbench for jewelry-making, themed furniture and clothes, and a gemology skill that increases as you make jewelry. Some items highlighted in the trailer include couches, bookshelves, and a large crystal tree you can plant, among others.

The trailer also dives deeper into the jewelry-making process, revealing your customization options for jewelry pieces, metals, and crystals you can use. It also introduces a Crystal Grid for charging your crystals, allowing them to serve a greater purpose, such as improving the speed you gain skill experience or randomly spawning crystals around your lot.

The release of Crystal Creations follows shortly after the launch of the Sims 4 Castle Estate and Goth Galore kits, smaller versions of Stuff Packs that primarily feature clothes and furniture. While these community-voted kits were the first paid additions to The Sims 4 in 2024, Crystal Creations is the first Stuff Pack to arrive this year. Its arrival marks another step in the Sensationally You season as “one Sparkling Stuff Pack” introduced between January and April, with Style and Celebratory kits coming within the next few months.

Crystal Creations will become available on February 29, 2024, for $14.99 or your regional currency. However, a sale is ongoing, which may continue following the pack’s release. Before then, a Gameplay Developer Walkthrough is planned to launch on February 28, with more details available through the pack’s official announcement.
