Where do I find Tiberium?

[Pam]

By far, the easiest way to get as much Tinerium as you need is to use the Dislay Table XL and put in "MIXED" items.  That means to mix up several types of transmutable items.  Gems, Metals, Relics, Space rocks etc.

Actually, it's Tiberium, not Tinerium.  And it's a Display Table, not a Dislay Table.

I've found tiberium and used the spire cut on it. I put it on the ground and it stayed there for more than 2 game months. It still hasn't multiplied :/ Any suggestions? Should I place it on a stand or something?

Tiberium doesn't multiply, but it should grow.  It will go to a larger size and be worth about $35-40,000 or thereabouts.  It doesn't need to be any place special, just as long as there are free squares around so it has room to expand.  Are you saying yours wouldn't grow?

[Monolito]

It did grow! It's wroth 39k and I'm just keeping it for looks
As for multiplying here's a quote:
"Spreading

Tiberium can "spread" as in multiply itself (which it does in the Command & Conquer series). This duplicated Tiberium behaves like an uncollected gem, so the player has to pick it up and put it back down before it can grow. The time it takes to do this is completely unconfirmed, though it appears to be somewhere in the region of 7-21 days."

The quote comes from the Sims wiki: http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Gem_collecting

Now, the main problem is: is this true? Can Tiberium make more Tiberium or is it false? :/

[Saltypaws]

Will put it this way, I have never seen in multiply as of yet and I am sure we have all played enough with these gems.  I have never even heard anyone say that they have seen it multiply.  Anybody can put anything on Wiki, so I tend to only believe what I have seen or believe it if there are screenshots or if someone else says it has happened.  I wouldn't hold my breath on it multiplying, because it does not.

[Monolito]

I guess You're right, Salty. I'm tempted to experiment with the gem a bit. I'll put it on the ground for a bit longer and see what happens.

The multiplying is probably wishful thinking, which is so believable because in the C&C series Tiberium does just that: multiplying! I've only seen it grow and sort of gave up on waiting for it to multiply. Besides breaking space rocks multiplies the number of tiberium in your possession much faster right?

[Pam]

The bit about Tiberium multiplying is a false rumor.  I've seen it claimed, but never proven.  The claims of it only have the Command and Conquer information to back it up, which means nothing in Sims 3.

[Monolito]

Too bad :/ It would be a nice feature. I don't mean cash, because it' so easy to get in this game.
My grown up tiberium (worth 45k) has been on the ground for ages and still nothing.

BTW My mummy broke several space rocks and did not get a single gem, even the cheapest. What's wrong?

How many boards had your mummy broken?  The chances of getting gems goes up after they've completed the Timber Terminator challenge (the one where they've broken at least 150 boards).  Even then, they don't get gems every time.  It seems to me that sims with the Disciplined trait are more likely to get gems, but I don't know if there's any confirmation of that point.

[Monolito]

He hasn't completed the challenge yet. Guess I'll have to do it. I'll try to check the disciplined thingy and post what I've found out.
