I'm not convinced these pictures will work, but if not I'll chuck them into imageshack.

My gem and metal collection so far:
Pictures taken from each end of the room so there is some overlap, and they're not that organised because it's so fiddly to get them to look all neat..

I have a retired sim with a collection helper and too much time on her hands And what's REALLY annoying is that I've only found 80% of the different gems out there! Seriously, how hard should it be to complete the collection!?

Wow, any tips as to how you find them and the best places to find them? So far, I found the beach to be the best, but don't really know where to start looking because they could be anywhere.

And with all those smelted, how many magic gnomes were you sent? I haven't been sent any yet

Ok, took this screenshot because thought it looked good. I had to put my graphics on medium while I was downloading America's Army, so it may not look as good.

There are some around the stonehenge up behind the science facility (Sunset Valley), as well as around the graveyard. The fishing holes tend to have a few, and there's always metal ore by the boarded up old mine Or save up for a collection helper in the lifetime happiness rewards- my sim doubled her collection in a couple of days with that!

No gnomes yet, should be any day now.. i've got all the 5 metals so I randomly get sent extra bars in the post, but I haven't got any of those yet either as I only just got the 5th metal.

Here's Selfsim leaving the hospital with her three new male demonspawns, known as Lee, Raiden, and Raiku. Boytoy is in the background

you search the Catacombs at the graveyard and you might find a special gnome thing but he vanishes off the spot you put him and like goes to the kitchen then he might vanish again to the bathroom, it's very annoying

Selfsim recently had twin girls to go with her four boys. Taking a chance, I named one of the girls 'Firefly'. Alas, when she grew up I found that she had inherited my brown hair, so when I decided to change to hair style I decided to go all out on making her hair better suited to her name.

Do you have the link for that file? It looks great and very realistic.

think its the bathing suit one but I installed both then put my peggysims default skin back

you might wanna nip to MTs and pick up delphy's file monkey if you want peggy'sskin as it does the install for you, rose's is a simspack file so its easy to install

I just wished the skins looked as good in game and not just in CAS

Ramona and her best bud Morty Goth



and more Rrrr amona
