Just a yesterday, I moved my sims into a house only to find, 3 gems in the backyard. The third, the most rare, pink diamond. I said to myself, "wow. I could get used to this.." Thanks for reading my mind. Now all my sims can find diamaonds in thir back yards. Mwahaha!

the plutonium spawners is spawning palladium and the huge meteor spawners are only spawning large meteors. or are these things really rare and not allowed to spawn until you get to a certain point in collecting?

but other than that thank you!

Awesome I just made a sim that I want to collect all the gems at least this way it won't be a hard to get a Pink Diamond. In all my expeditions I've only found one.

If you want to tune the behavior of these spawners, btw, they're controlled by XML. You can use Morgade's mod generator to make each one behave as you'd like ( http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=353622 )

I have picked up 300-400 gems spawned by these, but only found ONE pink diamond. It was spawned by the epic one. I have placed lots of each type of spawner, at least 10-20 of each.

If you mean they aren't showing at all (under build mode in the rocks category) then try deleting your cache files, that helped someone get access to my fish spawners.

If you mean you can place the spawner, but don't see any rocks/gems/metals, you need to wait a while before they start showing up.

Can these be used on community lots, and do they show up with the Collection Helper?

Okay, I've waited several sim days, and not a single rock, bug, butterfly, nor seed spawned. ......answered bit.......

Yeah, me too. I placed those, including the other ones-bugs and seeds, and they did not appear at all. I placed those on the floors, and there are no actual items appearing. They are just empty like invisible items.

chimp78 - The spawners ARE empty/invisilbe items. They're just a blank square, but they should start spawning items a sim day or so later.

Gillianivy - I'm not sure what's wrong, they're working just fine here and for others. Perhaps try deleting your cache files? Or maybe you already have too many spawned rocks/butterflies/seeds around town, I think there may be a set cap defined in the XML files.

witchzenka - yes and yes

If anyone wants to know, i have tested the epic gem spawner a bit more and found out that it seems to spawn only rubys, tanzanite, diamonds and pink diamonds.

It seems to spawn about 20% each of rubys, tanzanite, and pink diamonds, and 40% diamonds, but i have found only 40 gems from epic so it's not sure.

My game starts hanging if ive placed too many of them, and its only with gem spawners, the butterfly and bug ones work fine. I want to remove them from my lot, because i spen a lot of time building it and have no wish rebuilding it. But the dig a hole remove them does not work. They are invisible and unselectable, and i know exactly where i placed them.... any suggestions?
