Crystal balls are magical objects in The Sims: Livin' Large, The Sims 3 Store, The Sims Medieval, and The Sims 4: Paranormal Stuff that cryptically tell the future.

The Madame Blahbatfry Crystal Ball allows the player a chance at changing a Sim's personality. If the player can figure out the message and direct the Sim to accomplish the task in the next 24 hours, the Sim will gain a point on that particular personality scale. If the task fails though, the Sim will lose one point.

| "Be more clean" | Have a clean house | +1 Neat point |
| Have a dirty house | -1 Neat point | |
| "Just enjoying yourself" or "fun not frown" |
Have fun | +1 Playful point |
| No fun | -1 Playful point | |

| Clear your mind, focus your attention and rest the gaze of your scrying eyes on THE FUTURE. In the smooth spherical surface of the Soothsayer's Crystal Ball you will suddenly see; the future is crystal clear, your friends and family members are in awe of your predictive prowess, and your complexion has never looked better. | |

The Soothsayer's Crystal Ball can be purchased from The Sims 3 Store.[1] Teens through elders can use it to tell either their own or another Sim's fortune.
Possible fortune outcomes include, but are not limited to, receiving the Feeling lucky or Feeling unlucky moodlets, having relationships with a relative decrease, having friends come to visit, making a random NPC Sim become friends with the Sim, losing a few hundred Simoleons, getting a career salary raise, or receiving gifts in the mail.
Sims can also tell bogus fortunes to others. Evil, grumpy and mean spirited Sims get a fun boost from telling bogus fortunes. If a Sim is caught lying, their relationship with the other Sim will decrease.
The Sims 4: Paranormal Stuff[]
Lady Ravendancer's Crystal Ball[]

| It's a crystal. Nothing more. But it is highly sensitive to spiritual activity, which is a fancy way of saying if you have it on the table during a seance, it lights up! | |

The Lady Ravendancer's Crystal ball is introduced in The Sims 4: Paranormal Stuff. In this iteration of the series, crystal balls are separate objects that can be placed on any table, as well as seance tables. If a crystal ball is placed on a seance table and the table is in use, the crystal ball lights up and will display animated ghost faces occasionally. This is possibly a reference to Madame Leota from the Disney series The Haunted Mansion. However, they do not tell fortunes or have any other additional gameplay and mostly act as decorations.
The name "Lady Ravendancer's Crystal Ball" references the same Lady Ravendancer Goth who owns a spell book.
The Sims Medieval[]
Two tomes containing crystal balls are purchasable in The Sims Medieval. These tomes possess a spellbook tome, a pot for a miniature pit beast, and a scrying crystal ball. Wizards have the gift to use these crystal balls on their station to scry to look into the future for bonuses as well as gathering information during quests. The odds of successfully scrying is determined by the wizard's focus and needs.
