Gems

Click here for interactive maps

While skulking in the shadows of Moonlight Falls, don’t just walk by the rocks you see on the ground. Upon closer inspection, your Sim will discover that some of them are actually valuable—well, potentially valuable—gems. However, just picking up a gem isn’t the end of the collecting process. Gems require an extra step to maximize their value. You must send them away to be cut into beautiful stones, which increase their value. To have a gem cut, use the interaction on the mailbox or the gem itself. The more cuts you have made, the more become available, and the more money you can earn from the better cuts.

Note

Like a lot of things in this world, gem-cutting doesn’t come for free. You must pay a fee to have a gem cut, and there are different prices on the cuts. Typically, the more expensive the cut, the more it increases the gem’s value.

Supernatural introduces three new gems which are key to many occult parts of this expansion, including Alchemy. The three new gems are:

  • Bloodstone: This rock has been around for thousands of years and was once used for ancient rituals. Now, it’s mainly used for the ritual of rock collecting. It has many uses in ingredients and also makes a fine display piece. The bloodstone is an uncommon gem that will spawn in any township, not just Moonlight Falls.
  • Sunstone: Some say the sunstone is a moonstone left out in the sun for too long. Others claim it is a piece of a solar flare from the sun. Although the origins of the sunstone are often debated, there’s one thing everyone can agree on: it’s a sharp looking rock. The sunstone is a rare gem that will spawn in any town or city.
  • Moonstone: This attractive rock won’t actually tell the phase the moon nor does it contain the properties of a real moon that elicits howls from werewolves. It’s just a simple rock that shares the name of the big mysterious moon everyone has come to know and love. The moonstone is rare gem, too. It will spawn in any township, but it has a much higher probability of spawning during the full moon and new moon phases of the lunar cycle.
