In the Crystal Creations stuff pack in The Sims 4, your sims will be given the ability to start crafting their own jewelry, from necklaces and bracelets to even a proposal ring. Not only can you create jewelry to gift to others, but you can also grow your own crystal tree, create jewelry with powers, and collect crystals and metals.

Crystal Creations will also give you the chance to complete the Crystal Crafter Aspiration, which requires a few different tasks to be completed successfully. If you're looking to develop your skills in jewelry and crafting, here's everything you'll need to do.

How to Get Crystal Crafter Aspiration in The Sims 4

If you're brand-new to the Crystal Creations Stuff Pack, you might be wondering how exactly you can get started on the Crystal Crafter Aspiration. The first thing you'll need to do is get yourself a Gemology Table.

To do this, start by going into Build Mode in the top right corner. At the bottom of the screen, you'll see all the available items that you can build. Approach the search bar, and type 'Gemology'. The Gemology Table will pop up, and will cost you 650 Simoleons. You can place the table wherever you'd like, even outside, and now get started on the Crystal Crafter Aspiration, which you can find underneath the Nature section of Aspirations.

How to Complete Curious Collector

The first milestone for completing the Crystal Crafter Aspiration is Curious Collector. You will need to complete the following tasks:

We have already purchased a Gemology Table at this point, so we will now want to start with collecting 5 crystals or metals. To find these, all you'll need to do is go outside and look for shining rocks in the ground. You can visit other worlds as well. Select these rocks and choose Dig to have your sim open them up to get the crystals and metals inside.

To gift some jewelry, just approach your Gemology Table and choose Design Jewelry or Design Random Jewelry. When you're done making the piece, make sure to select it and put it in your inventory. Then, open up your Inventory in the bottom right, select the jewelry item, choose Gift to..., and select the sim you want to gift the item to.

How to Complete Bauble Broker

For the next milestone of the Crystal Crafter Aspiration, Bauble Broker, you'll need to complete the following:

  • Build a Crystal Grid
  • Wear a Fully Charged Jewelry Piece
  • Plant a Crystal Seed

To purchase a Crystal Grid, open up Build Mode again, and type in Crystal Grid in the search bar. This item will cost 50 Simoleons, and you can place it on top of any nearby table or the ground.

For a Fully Charged Jewelry Piece, start by creating another jewelry item and then place it on your Crystal Grid to charge it up. Remember that you'll need to place the item on the Crystal Grid from 7 pm to 7 am for it to actually be charged. When it is fully charged, select the jewelry item and choose Wear to have your sim try on the piece.

Finally, to plant a Crystal Seed, you'll want to first reach level 3 of the Gemology skill. After you've done this, approach your Gemology Table, where you can now craft a seed-shaped crystal. After you've done this, you can grab the Crystal Seed from your inventory and place it anywhere outside your home.

How to Complete Gifted Gemologist

For the third milestone of the Crystal Crafter Aspiration, Gifted Gemologist, you'll need to complete all of these tasks:

  • Grow a Magnificent Crystal Tree
  • Make 5 pieces of Excellent Jewelry
  • Complete Crafting Gemstones or Jewelry 10 Times While Focused

To grow a Magnificent Crystal Tree, you'll need to plant a Crystal Seed and let it grow into a full tree. Then, you'll need to make sure to consistently take care of it by watering it, spraying for bugs, removing weeds, and harvesting its crystals. Eventually, an Evolve option will appear, and this will allow you to make your tree into a Magnificent Crystal Tree.

To make 5 pieces of Excellent Jewelry, all you will need to do is continue to make jewelry as you level up. After a while, you'll have naturally created 5 pieces that are of excellent quality.

Finally, to craft 10 gemstones or pieces of jewelry while focused, visit your Aspirations page. At the bottom, visit the Rewards Store and purchase some Focused Potions for 200 Rewards Points. After you drink one of these, you'll be able to craft some jewelry while focused. Do this 10 times, and you'll have completed the task successfully.

How to Complete Legendary Lapidary

To complete the final milestone in the Crystal Crafter Aspiration, Legendary Lapidary, you'll need to complete these tasks:

  • Cut a Gemstone Valued at 2,500 Simoleons
  • Achieve Level 10 Gemology Skill
  • Summon the Grim Reaper with Jet Gemstone or Jewelry

The first two requirements will be relatively easy to achieve. To create a gemstone worth 2,500 Simoleons, you'll want to wait until you reach level 10 in Gemology. Then, select the most expensive items you can use for gemstones, including the Gnome-Shaped Gemstone and the Amber crystal. You'll eventually make a piece that is worth at least 2,500 Simoleons. As for reaching level 10 in Gemology, you'll just want to continue to make jewelry as frequently as possible.

Finally, the last thing you'll need to do is summon the Grim Reaper with a Jet gemstone or jewelry. To do this, make an item at your Gemology Table using the Jet crystal. Once it's complete, place it on your Crystal Grid to charge it. Then, from the Crystal Grid, you can choose to summon the Grim Reaper at will. Make sure the Crystal Grid is outside when you do so.
