    Master Crafter is a teen friendley aspiration, as teens can complete it. No milestones demand your sim to grow up.
    I'm not sure I will rec. making it the starting aspiration though. Most of my sims are using the new pack as a sidething. :)

    @Simmingal I just love your Simmingal character and the storylines you have for her! She is quite the adventurer and I enjoy seeing what she is up too! @LeucosiaX I love your jewelry, especially the occult ones! I can't wait to get into my game and start playing again! I have several occults who are going to really enjoy the hobby and the jewelry! You have both inspired me to try to find the time to play again! Am working on setting up an occult game and can't wait to start it.

    Simmingals Gemology Adventures Day 6

    r3snyQ4.png
    Meanwhile the cave is lovely place to hone her non existent musical talents
    (no one there to be deafened by the tunes)

    C9jRk33.png

    Simmingal was getting quite bored waiting for this crystal tree thing.

    28O6YVU.png

    She therefore decided to head out again.

    her first stop was Mt.Komorebi,
    for she really wanted to find jade
    but had not gotten her hands on any yet

    BgC0uOE.png

    unfortunately though that turned out quite unlucky
    as there were not many rocks at all in Mt.Komorebi

    JADXP6k.png

    just lots of doodles made by children as it turns out

    XUVM8rf.png

    Simmingal then decided to try out some occult worlds
    Glimmerbrook, despite its name was very much not glimmering at all
    only glimmering thing around was Simmingal burning alive.

    B3pD2Ap.png

    all they really had was these dig spots all over
    that I so far have not gotten metals or gems from,
    lots of upgrade parts though which with the current goal were rather useless
    some my sims and fossils too.

    XuMzefM.png

    upset by this discovery Simmingal headed to magic realm.

    iJdhTYZ.png

    which was about as upsetting as the previous places if not more upsetting

    OxfMaxt.png

    Simmingal almost mistook this horse manure for a gem in her desperation

    vZiXmaa.png

    because there simply were no gems to be found besides the stall she did not want to use twice

    wz7UFnp.png

    Well what about Grims Quarry in Evergreen Harbor? Surely there is rocks in rock quarry?

    CLmwFfP.png

    False. there is no rocks in rock quarry.

    BkD9HcQ.png

    there is however Hunger Games.

    PrTFuhq.png

    Er, sorry, wrong story time.

    zNNI4ir.png

    but then she looked inside and remembered, there is cursed chairs here! FLEE

    xLdfKa4.png

    Simmingal fled to Forgotten Hollow,
    where similar bad luck followed, still no rocks just these dig spots.

    u0E0Yje.png

    this however did not surprise Simmingal as much
    because she had been in Forgotten Hollow all these years not particularily seeing rocks there.
    what she saw everywhere though were holiday decorations of all sorts, regardless of where she went.

    fx0fZq5.png

    Simmingal: Hmph fine, I'll go back in the cave and make some earrings then.

    Aurora finished her first collection. She made the full set of chunky jewelry pieces for herself. She chose orange topaz gemstones to help her create better paintings and photos.

    It is a very nice photo of your sim summoning the Grim Reaper to complete the aspiration @Svineprutter :) Congratulations to her on achieving the aspiration,
    I hope that your sim will be able to find crystals when she next goes searching for them @Simmingal :)
    The full set of jewellery that Aurora has made of the chunky jewellery is lovely! @DaniRose2143 :) The orange topaz is very nice.

    @musteni @Svineprutter choose "cut gemstone" on the gemology table and choose "seed-shaped gemstone" for the design then whatever crystal you want. Once done you can plant it, either before or after charging it, and you'll get at least four crystals each day once fully grown. What you get varies but you do get the new ones that came with the pack.

    Thank you for that information. I'd love for Londyn to be able to use any gemstone or metal in her jewelry but she doesn't have time to go around the worlds hunting for those items. Hopefully the really rare ones will occasionally and not just the easy to find ones.
    If you have get to work you can download rooms of gems from the gallery and set them for sale. Also, you could also download a room full of metals and sell them as well. You can also download a duplicator the scientist makes and duplicate crystals and metals.

    Simmingals Gemology Adventures Day 7

    g9AlJhd.png
    On the 7th day, Simgod rested.

    pwKSF2D.png

    False.
    Simgod did not rest.
    Not even if she burned.

    ENLKllR.png
    aYf9XmV.png
    WIs27qp.png

    and not until she had strutted her new stuff in Sulani, ofcourse.

    ZeqM9R8.png
    D31n0ww.png

    Simmingal had tried really hard to find outfit that complemented wearing all her new jewellery at once

    Pfjx4Q9.png
    0X54Vot.png

    but she did feel slightly exposed by these get famous mermaid pants she found.

    efBtczm.png

    regardless she did not forget to talk about religion fashion with the locals

    jylzoEZ.png

    locals who somehow seemed to look very tall all of sudden making Simmingal feel so very small.

    5W8Efpz.png

    Simmingal: Its all hair, just hair, she is not actually tall. Don't be intimidated Simmingal.
    You are still biggest force in this particular sim universe.

    n6AoWIo.png

    As far as rock situation went Simmingal did not spot any rocks but it could be because of the festival

    25xd4t5.png

    or she seems to remember there was those volcano rock things with the lot trait
    but she was not sure if those came with metals or crystals
    so that shall be discovery for some other time

    Simmingal also decided to take quick look at Strangerville while out and about
    but she did not see any rocks there either
    yet again, could be the state of the world though.

    0YGJf0P.png

    or just that neighborhood.

    xxSl35E.png

    tomorrow Simmingal is going to visit the FutureSim Labs so she is sure she'll find gems there though.

    here is Simmingals stats before Simlabs :) about half there.
    I am happy to notice that having jewellery with gem/metal in it
    or buying gem/metal on the gemology table to craft with
    does not unlock the gem/metal as part of collection

    Yeah it seems one must not look from the "obvious" rocky sparkly sounding places but rather from their own backyards ๐Ÿค”
    also there might be gameplay situations that result in gems but since I'm just running about ๐Ÿ˜…

    @Ziafar @Simmingal Do you just have to allow the digsites to reset by being on a lot in the neighborhood at the right time of day? Is it 6:30am like for the plants?

    PS amazing pants there :)

    @mightysprite not sure about times
    but rocks refresh daily on same spots and it can be any type rock
    like if you saw metal rock there next day it might be theres fossil rock instead

    I'm not sure if there can be rocks where there is these all vague dig spots
    but I assume not since it would be strange coincidence that all of them are dig spots at once
    so I believe it will refresh as vague dig spot again the next day

    I don't believe you have to stay in neighborhood though
    since everytime i go to oasis springs park theres new rocks
    even if I have not stayed there

    Is the magical hour 06:30 now - in my game it used to start at 05:00 AM. Maybe there was some daylight saving stuff? ;)

    Simmingals Gemology Adventures Day 8

    I'm too sxy for these gems...

    4jSzy1N.png

    too sxy for scientist outfit...

    X4qd75y.png

    too sxy for the sun its going to roast mee....

    noqPObm.png
    bH3ffTf.png

    okay sorry distracted by radio *turns radio off*
    I was trying to contain these adventures in 7 days
    but obviously I've failed due to the lack of rocks

    be not afraid though
    for this 8th day is going to be real gamechanger!

    Rocks!

    Fo9bfhy.png

    Rocks as far as your eyes can see!

    ZQwjW9c.png

    Almost too many rocks for my poor vampiric self!
    and right under the scorching sun!

    YElsAMA.png

    Yeah, going to get digging, I'll leave no photo evidence behind though.

    EAhkuuF.png

    They'll never know these gems are lab created,
    I mean, there is no way to tell.
    at least not in The Sims.

    fEO6hO0.png

    After digging a bit Simmingal decided to blast off to Planet Sixam to see if it would be any less scorching,
    feels kind of backwards to travel towards the sun though.

    5YMRwnu.png

    Sixam also had some lovely gems and metals,
    although nowhere near as many as the lab itself
    and these were more Sixam specific I think

    3WSMGQI.png

    the gem color doesn't seem to matter
    as you can get Nitelite from these red ones as well

    wD26yNI.png
    VkuZ4bI.png

    and interestingly aliens can also be mistaken for gems while hovering about :joy:

    2tcAgO1.png

    but Simmingal was trying to keep safe distance to all of them, just in case.

    zFN8Mhz.png
    LFXzs8E.png
    EQxK2MS.png

    and upon returning back on Sim Earth,
    There it is first completed collection!

    The scientist career is definitly the best to find metals and cristals. I must have more of scientists sims in my game.

    Congratulations on completing the collection! @Simmingal :) It is good that you were able to find many rocks by joining the scientist career and visiting Sixam.

    Simmingals Gemology Adventures Day 9

    eZXMrrf.png
    After returning to her cave Simmingal dig few more rocks there

    Xs4WkpC.png

    and completed another collection!

    x2Xr4Gr.png

    or so the game told her but she still doesn't have jade or amazonite

    8Kr2BKd.png

    so... yeah I think its just counting base game gems actually.
    Still! quite enough to start making some more jewellery and gemstone cuts

    S3XZmWC.png

    Simmingal started with creating some gem cuts

    wEz4ROl.png

    Star from Jonquilyst
    charged effect: tense moodlets will fade faster, fun need does not decay

    RDNq4Zt.png

    Plumbob from plumbite
    charged effect: needs increase when close to the object

    L3vfFSM.png
    (I sort of wish it continued to shine but it doesn't)
    Fl0hebN.png

    Brilliant cut moonstone to celebrate the lovely moon
    charged effect:
    Bored moodlets deplete faster.
    Vampires have slower vampire thirst decay.
    Spellcasters don't experience failure with magic unless overcharged.
    Werewolves fury decays faster.

    zecfjV3.png

    and ofcourse

    Heart of Jet
    charged effect: summon grim reaper, always succeed pleading grim.

    zUZpBE5.png

    and this cursed huge gnome from rainborz
    charged effect: less likely to develop fears, benefits of the Brave trait.

    mYfRRAa.png

    I do think one has to be rather brave to walk past that terrifying gnome.

    SDnBjzJ.png

    ofcourse we couldn't leave the table without also making some new jewellery
    so I decided to create RAW set with heavy metal and diamonds
    for heavy metal is gals best friend and raw_est thing she could come up with

    trC1DAl.png
    0RwGTUI.png
    UQonxxA.png
    aAp5eLl.png

    still, not good match to this particular outfit

    EVs3e2B.png

    but Simmingal has finally reached the top of gemology skill with all this crafting

    Have you checked your household inventory as well? Sometimes the game puts things I expect in my sims personal inventory in the household inventory. It is worth a try.

    My sim has been working hard on the Crystal collection. Looks like I used a similar strategy like @Simmingal and made my sims work as a scientist. She also took a few trips to Sixam to complete the collection. I even found some rare metals on sixam like rosegold. I never knew that was an alien metal ;)
    3F6P4nk.png
    Callisto posing with the full collection. The crystals are displayed in the same order as they appear in the collections so I could keep track of the missing ones.

    I also ended up with a lot of duplicates but I didn't sell them because they are now resources for jewels.
    A3UpqLT.png

    Callisto and Kyioshi are hard at work to make something beautiful out of those gems. Kyioshi is making a gem seed for a crystal tree. I am really curious to see that tree in my game. Callisto is working on a necklace with Jade so she can hopefully get a few random gems every now and then.
