The Sims 4 announces next Stuff Pack coming to the game
The Sims 4 has revealed the next Stuff Pack coming to the game, along with a release date.
Crystal Creations Stuff Pack, which introduces a new Gemology skill and revolves around collecting materials and customising jewellery, is launching on Thursday, February 29.
The new pack allows Sims to craft pieces including necklaces, bracelets, and rings, using colourful crystals and metals that they find.

Some jewellery, when charged, can even come with an effect that is bestowed on the wearer.
There are 27 possible effects for a Sim, affecting moods, relationships, careers, and more. Effects seen in the trailer include gaining skills faster, randomly finding crystals around the house, and even the ability to summon the Grim Reaper.
Crafted jewellery can also be sold for Simoleons, providing another way for Sims to make money.
Three new crystals — jade, moonstone, and amber — are being added, bringing the total to 27 (20 in the base game, 4 in other packs).

In addition to the new gameplay being introduced, Crystal Creations will feature a range of new CAS and Build/Buy items. This includes a new jewellery set and items that will help to create the ideal workroom, including a Gemology Table.
The Stuff Pack will be out on PC, Mac, PlayStation, and Xbox.
The pack was first teased in a roadmap covering January to April. It is the second Stuff Pack in recent months, following a period of nearly three years without one.
There were 18 Stuff Packs between May 2015 and January 2021, before Home Chef Hustle launched in September 2023.
During that gap, The Sims 4 focused on smaller-sized Kits, releasing them with greater frequency (a total of 25 in that period).
Two more Kits were released last month, suggesting that Simmers can expect to see both Stuff Packs and Kits being developed going forwards.
Two further Kits are planned before the end of April. No details have been revealed yet, but they have been described as a "celebratory" Build Kit and a "co-created" CAS Kit.
In December, the For Rent expansion was released.
The Sims 4 is available on PC, Mac, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
