Yeah, I found those too in my search for help. To be honest, I think it may be a bit random.

In my frustration, I forgot that one can do a great deal with Debug Enabler. Having a different issue with Bayou, I moved the household out and back knowing that it would mess up VJ's opportunity chain. I then cancelled it altogether, but was able to get him back on track with the help of Debug Enabler. I decided to try the Call in Opportunity (or something to that effect) and he was immediately put back to the task of finding a pink diamond. So, now I'm hoping the darned thing will show up sometime soon.

A big thank you to NRaas Industries <3


Miraj is helping by breaking space rocks (martial arts), and Bayou is using the miner (she's a YA now and more useful). Also, meteors are free to fall and give me pink diamonds, lol ;D

Sounds like you're back on track!! Yay!!

I've got Yasmine ready and a house for her that has some basics. I was really surprised that with only WA, Ambitions, Master Suite enabled that she kept her skin color, vampire marking, plus she's still a vampire. :)

Though the game didn't keep her original vampire LTW of Turn The Town, so I gave her Perfect Garden.

I tried loading her into CAS without her hair and I was like uhm.. no!!

I made a little story out of our first day in Twinbrook. Not sure how much of this I'll really make into a story. But went with it for now as it seemed to write itself.

     -----

Yasmine:
I've moved to Twinbrook and have been called to invent things whatever that means. Since we can't read books on inventing, we'll take a class.

We've got a skill point in inventing... Now we'll go hunt up some scraps!!

Hmm.. The taxi's are nice, but I so need some wheels. Yo MrsFlynn... Get me some cute wheels. So I can zip to the junk yards around town. :)



Well, poo of course on the first day you wouldn't be able to dig for scraps.. We should have know that... (looking at you MrsFlynn) Let's go dumpster diving then!! Gotta tacky up our house some how ya know!! ;)  And no, you may not share a photo of me going through the dumpster!!



Dangit MrsFlynn!! lol

Scrounging for treasures was a bust. Let's go to the grocery store and grab some harvestables to plant. Got a few things to get us started. Lettuce, Apple, Grape and Tomato, 100 garlic for fertilizer and a bottle of bubble bath.. for those soothing bubbly bubble baths.

Got a few seeds for learning gardening skill, so we planted those.



-- MrsFlynn wonders when is it that we can fertilize plants?

Yasmine answers..

Yasmine:
Uhm MrsFlynn..  You should know that... You wrote the book on Gardening for Dummies. lol

MrsFlynn:
Gee Thanks Yas!! *Blush*

You know what... Just for that, I'm sending you to the library to read up on gardening. Ha!

It's quite dark in the library.  Most libraries are dark at night... Let's do something to fix that, at least for this save.

   

Ah... That's better!! Now back to our regularly scheduled game... :)

Yasmine:
We've skilled up to level 3 gardening, so we can now fertilize our plants!! Yay!!

Woohoo! I mean, wahoo! Thank you for gracing us with your storytelling even if it's just once in a while 8) I know from experience it can be hard to keep up.

Btw, may I use Yasmine in a romance idea in my game?

Here I was excited to play an inventor Sim... To be able to detonate things!! What fun!!

Come to find it's not really worth it? Please, please tell me I'm wrong on this? I pay $25 to detonate a couch at the local junkyard to only then get a piece or two of scrap out of it. I would think for $25, I'd get a little more than 2 scraps out of it. *Sigh*

Of course scrap isn't all that valuable either. Which is fine, I fully expected that. I was just hoping blowing things up would be more worth it in the way of scrap returns. lol

Whoot!! Lv8 and invented a Miner machine!! Yay!!



When you see a shiny hole, save the game before sending one of your favorite Sims down that hole... The waiting is nerve wracking to see if they come back up from investigating the hole.



Oooh look, Pink Diamond!! Wanna send this to Nindigo MrsFlynn?!

I just had the biggest laugh when Miraj fell into one of those glowing holes. He sounded simply hilarious - like Kermit the Frog!

By the way, remember to place the the floor hygienators under the doors. They only work when Sims step across them.


Update

YAY! Bayou dug op a pink diamond with the miner on their home lot!!! Wheee! I'm saving the househould...that should save the gemstone in the inventory. After cutting it into a heart shape it is worth a whopping 7000 simoleons :o

I had to remove the floor hygienators one of my simmies kept getting sick from them even tried changing the scents just in case one of the scents was causing that but nope all the scents made him ill. OHH gnome of invention grats on getting that.

Loved your story MrsF

VJ looks accomplished!! Congrats!!

Yep. Saving household to the library will save the gems. Also if you have a WA chest and put the gems into them. And save house it will save the chest with the house. :)
