The Sims 4 Get Famous: Celestial Crown
Effects of Crystals and Fame Quirk Removal with the Crown Object
Mounting a Crystal into the Celestial Crystal Crown in The Sims 4 Get Famous DLC.
An odd object included in The Sims 4 Get Famous Expanion Pack is the Celestial Crystal Crown. Its uses are many, for it takes the power of Collectible Crystals and amplifies them, producing magical effects. Crystals are found on the ground in the world's many neighborhoods and reliably at the end of Jungle Temples. You can also purchase common and uncommon crystals on the computer. Thanks to forum user mousef for helping us get around to playing with this object sooner.
How to Get the Crown in Buy Mode
Buy the Celestial Crown for $100. You'll need Crystals to take advantage of it. Otherwise, it's just a way to get Embarrassed. Personally, I would wear it everywhere.
The Celestial Crystal Crown is found in Objects by Room > Study > Indoor Activities for only $100. The price is low but you must factor in the use of crystals, which are not infinite unless you're buying the commons and uncommons.

The crystal crown is fairly easy to use, but the effects of crystals are highly varied.
Click crystals in your Sim's inventory with the helmet either on or in their inventory, and you can select 'Mount crystal'. Wear the helmet by clicking it and selecting the appropriate command. Selecting your Sim, you can get a menu for the crystal or click it in the inventory to remove the helmet or remove a crystal.
When a crystal is socketed, the effects are immediate. Your Sim will get a boost to career or skill gains, or else their needs will be raised to max so long as the crystal lasts. Crystals tend to last about 4 hours total but it's clearly a powerful item.
Drawbacks: There is a caveat, however, in that your Sim will get a +1 Embarrassed moodlet for 4 hours upon wearing the helmet, "fashion faux pas". Not too bad if they're happy already ,but enough to ruin their performance if they are not. The Shameless reward for 2,000 Satisfaction will allow you to use the helmet without getting Embarrassed.

Crown Indicator Light
Mousing over Crystals in your Sim's inventory, you can see the current power level. They go high, medium, and low. When you are wearing the helmet, it also displays the same information via the lights on the side:
Crystal at high, medium, low, and broken state. When a crystal breaks, it will take a chunk out of one of your Sim's motives (bladder, hygiene, etc.)
Removing Quirks
When you have a rare crystal socketed and your Celebrity has a Quirk, you can use the crystal crown to remove it. This will sacrifice the rare crystal but the quirk slot will go back to blank. You'll get another quirk soon enough, but maybe one that doesn't bother you so much.
Crystal Effects
Note that when motives fill, they are simply set at 100. When the effect is removed, they'll go back part way to where they were before you used the filling effect. Use these effects to extend your Sim's active time and deal with needs later. Great for a quick performance if your needs are low and you're in a rush.

This could be exploited with the cloning machine from get to work, using it to clone the crystals indefinitely. Thus, the crystal duration would be infinite, at least for practical purposes

A Deeper Game
The past month, I've spent every day tinkering The Sims 4, making quality of life improvements, gameplay changes, and new difficulty settings for the game. If you'd like to learn more about my project, visit the post on Patreon where you can download it now.
I have much more to come, since you can actually write a few guides about this pack!
Calling all Blender Users
Blender has been incredibly useful in video production, so I made my own Physics and Simulation Improvement Addon that lumps a ton of unique tools into one compact interface.
Sims 4 Snowy Escape
The Sims 4 Snowy Escape launches November 13, 2020 and my coverage has started. Until I get my review ready, you can learn about the following:
There is a new platform tool in The Sims 4. There's also a new Sentiments system, but it'll take some time to create a guide to that. Players can also use rental lots in any world now by changing lot types of builds in manage worlds.
Best Mods in Sims 4
I've created a massive List of The Best Mods in The Sims 4 that should be very helpful to new players and those who have not yet explored modding and how much it can do for your gameplay.
Readers who use adblock or those who'd like to thank me for my efforts can now pledge $1/$5 monthly via Patreon. This helps a lot with server costs and provides some stability for my business.
I now have a guide page to Tiny Living Stuff where you can learn about Murphy Beds, the new death, as well as the lot bonuses you'll receive if you manage to keep the size of your lot down with this new pack's Tiny Home Lot Type.
Let's Play Playlist
New I now have a guide to Making Super Sims in The Sims 4. Look for a text version within the next 72h. It won't have THAT much more info but it will help out as a checklist.
This was inspired by a series, "Let's Play a Super Sim" in which I start at toddler and gradually take on the major bonuses. Here's a link to each part for people who are interested. You can also see the Let's Play as a Playlist on Youtube.
The Sims 4 Discover University has been announced for November 15 for PC/Mac and December 17 for Xbox and Playstation 4 consoles. Click to learn more about the pack, see my summary of the livestream or read our FAQs below.
