Longer Crystal Charge & More
Tired of crystals taking most of the night to charge only for that charge to last only two short days?? Well, be tired of it no more! This mod changes it so that all crystals which are fully charged will stay fully charged for a total of fourteen days! They take no extra time to charge, still standard times. The charge just lasts much longer.
I am also including a bonus mod which was requested while I was figuring this mod out. The bonus mod changes the Charged Jet crystal’s power of summoning the Grim Reaper so that it no longer drains the crystal after each use. Now you can infinitely summon the Grim Reaper as long as your crystal still has some charge. What I mean: First use of the crystal will drain it from 14 days to 7 days of charge. After that, as long as you don’t wait 7 more days, you can keep summoning the Reaper until those days are up. I managed to summon him 5 times with a single crystal charge during my test runs.
The newest addition to this mod set is an interaction that will instantly charge any crystal or jewelry. Your Sim must have the new “Attuned Trait” from Crystal Creations SP. Then, drag any crystal or jewelry out of your inventory (I just put them on the ground) then click them. The option to “Charge Crystal” should then be available. NOTE: You need the Core Library by Lot51 to use this part of the mod!!
Features:
- Extends Crystals’ Charge Time from 2 Days to 14 Days
- Still Takes Only Standard 6 – 24 Hours to Charge (Like without mod)
- Bonus Mod Stops Crystals from Draining Completely When Summoning Grim
- New addition: An interaction for Sims with the “Attuned” trait can instantly charge crystals and jewelry! Just drag them out of your inventory and click on them!
- Newer Addition: Now includes mod to extend Crystal Charge Time from 2 Days to 7 Days.
Current Version:

Hi Simularity…I must say I love this mod idea! I’ve been duplicating jewelry so when one depletes I have another ready, but no more messin round now with this mod. Thank you for sharing. But can I ask, is it too much trouble to ask for another option of, say, 7-days. It would work well with my current system of jewelry rotation… not too long not too short it would be just right. Anyway, thanks for your excellence and hard work.

I’ll see what I can do. I’ve wrote this down on my new to-do list so keep an eye out for it in a near-future update here on the site. 🙂

Great mod, but it seems to be buggy (or The Sims is bugging) but the objects seem to loose charge mysteriously but then will gain it back after traveling or restarting

That’s odd. I’ll check it out and see what’s going on. Thanks for letting me know! 🙂

Lizzie…ya know what the problem with this pack is? You can’t tell when a gems charge is getting low or when it’s at full charge…at least I can’t (plz tell if I’m missing something). If I could really tell when my charge was low, it would really help despite what time extension I have (hint). And I think EA should’ve made the charge at last 3 days instead of 2, IMAO. But extending it was inevitable…glad I found your mod.
(So, do you think you could create a charge indicator? Just wondering ;))

I thought it said how much charge was left when you hover over it while it’s in your Sim’s inventory? It’s been a while since I played with crystals, so I’ll check to be sure.

Hi there! I really appreciate the work you’ve put into this mod. It’s fantastic to be able to summon the Grim Reaper without completely draining the Jet crystal. However, I was wondering if you could consider extending the 14-day charge duration to be infinite? It would make the gameplay even more enjoyable. Thanks for your hard work!

Hi and thank you, I’m happy that you enjoy my mods. My original idea was to have the mod be infinite but they game’s code won’t allow it. Every attempt I made caused the game to crash so I had to come up with the 14 days instead.

Thank u for u reply!
Although it’s a bit disappointing that infinite energy isn’t possible, The Sims 4 is more exciting because of you！

Por favor actualiza el mod, ya que con el nuevo update, se rompió la carga de cristales instantáneos y en el estante si ves la joyería pone 14 días . Pero si te lo equipas y te vas a otro lado pone sin carga.
Gracias por el mod me sirvió mucho con las pociones.
Please update the mod, because with the new update, the instant crystal charging was broken and on the shelf if you look at the jewelry it says 14 days. But if you equip it and go somewhere else it says no charge.
Thanks for the mod, it helped me a lot with the potions.
