Where can I find Rainbow Gems in Barnacle Bay?
« on: January 14, 2013, 09:48:27 PM »
Like the title says, I'm wondering if anyone has found a rainbow gem in BB?  I haven't played BB much until this week so I don't know it like I do SV or RV.  I'd like to have my IF become real 'cause I think they're so cute!  Anyway,  I have a sim grinding through potions at the lab station and another one checking the consignment shop every few days, too, just in case I don't find a gem lying around.

I know a miner can help, but you have to have Ambitions. Also a Collection Helper is a big help as well, I'm not sure where spawn points are, but the Collection Helper will show you all of them.

I DO have Ambitions! I hadn't thought about the Miner, thanks for the idea!

You can also have a sim who does not have the Savvy Sculptor trait make sculptures of stone -- they often break and produce gems or metals.

I just took a quick look around with the Collection Helper and couldn't find any. If you have Pets, you can have a dog hunt for you. It's probably the fastest way to get random gems and Rainbow gem is one of the gems my dogs dig up quite often.

Two more good ideas, thanks MarianT and Roxanne07!  I'm off to find a Rainbow Gem - I'll let you know if I am successful!   :)

If you have World Adventures, I have great success getting Rainbow Gems by breaking space rocks.

Okay, I found a gem but it was not through any of the above methods.  I cheated a little.   ;)  I used buydebug to place a spawner for Rainbow gems (Gem Spawner-High) and eventually one popped up.  I was getting frustrated because the Consignment Store no longer had a cashier and nobody in the family had any inventing skill yet.  I promise to try and get one honestly next time.  lol

My Consignment Store bugs out like that sometimes, too. I usually bulldoze it and place another one and it resumes working normally most of the time, picking up where you left off with sales. You could also go to Edit Town and delete the consignment register and place a new one with the community objects (or buydebuf -- I don't recall which menu it's in), but I find that doesn't work as consistently for me.
