Tiberium
Has someone really experienced tiberium spires spawning more tiberium, or is that only from some old news post mentioning that? I have had perhaps a hundred of large spires (up to ten at once), of which none spawned new spires. Though I usually, but not always, sell them when they become large. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.130.17.3 (talk • contribs) 19:06, June 21, 2010 (UTC) - Sign your comments with ~
 * No, it's just a rumor. Duskey ( talk ) 12:54, August 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Just one second there, I can CONFIRM that it DEFINATELY happens. I've seen it happen multiple times. It has to be on grass, not on a display case or anything like that. --Rossmallo 01:13, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

heart-shaped cut
I have 11 different gems but still no option for the heart-shaped cut.. (in the game it says i have found 82% of all gems)

 * The heart-shaped cut is unlocked per Sim, make sure you have the Sim who has collected at least 10 different types of gems selected, when you try to have gems cut. In the future, you might have better luck asking gameplay questions in the Questions forum. Duskey ( talk ) 12:54, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Same shit is happening to me, many, MANY gems found and still no bloody heart shape option for pink gems.... 27.32.100.152 14:14, April 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think I figured it out! I'm not positive, but I THINK if you get something from mining it doesn't count in your collecting. I'm running some tests and I'll post some more information once I figure it out completely. Kitty553 says: THE GAME!!! 19:36, July 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * EDIT: I WAS RIGHT! HOORAY FOR ME! You have to collect 10 different gems without using the miner, which would be the preferred way of getting them because 1.: you don't have to find them or wait for them to spawn, 2.: it's the only way to get fluorite, and 3.: you're always going to have one since you have to invent everything before you get the opportunity. It's a good thing doesn't have to be collected because it can only be aquired from the miner. Kitty553 says: THE GAME!!! 19:36, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

Split suggestion
As a random visitor, I'd like to support giving tiberium its own page. People coming to this page either want general information on gems, or specifics on tiberium, being the 'special' option. It could stand to be seperate and help reduce visual clutter. 81.178.130.79 02:29, November 13, 2010 (UTC)

Gem Descriptions
Should a column be added with the gem descriptions? Trimalynn 23:45, February 28, 2011 (UTC)

The Tiberium Split
Please allow me to make the page! I'm more than willing to page the page, although I'll need some help.SimAddict 12:07, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

I know how some of you are talking about splitting the Tiberium section. I just made the page today. Just saying.SimAddict 11:34, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

The Use?
What exactly are gems for? Should I just sell them or what? Other than particular gems used for things like making SimBot, I don't really see the use of them.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote  –  Guess!  09:12, July 23, 2012 (UTC)
