My second generation Sim received an Imaginary Friend as a gift in the mail. I love the idea of imaginary friends in the game, and learned that you could turn them into real friends and then control them too. I read up about it in the guide and it says it's a hassle and you need to find Rainbow gems, or create potions for that to happen. I do know that you have to keep playing with the friend and get really close with it first for any of it to work.
I always wanted to try turning an imaginary into real, and then having them marry my Sim. I'm thinking of doing it for the second generation. This way she'd get a unique best friend, a ready made husband, and have a close relationship with him from the get go too.
I can't have her make potions though, because the logic is for another generation, so she's gonna go the dumb jock(?) route. So basically what I am asking is for advice if I should try that or let her eventually find a real husband?
If anyone has ever successfully pulled this off, or has a PhD on this subject, please help by sharing whatever you know in depth [and in simple words because I'm really dumb with these things
]. The rainbow gem is apparently hard to find. I haven't found it so far in all my gem searching. Is there a specific location one can get it? I do keep checking the Sell n Swap though, I'm not sure if I would find it there. And I'm worried it would take too much time and effort, and even though she has to max the Athletic, I'm worried it would be too troublesome?
