The Sims 3 Guide - Sunset Valley

Collectibles - Metals

There are only five metals to be found in Sunset Valley, but the most valuable, Plutonium, can fetch 1,800 Simoleons at its heaviest weight. When you first collect a metal it is dirty and must be processed to be valuable. It costs a flat rate of 40 Simoleons to do this, and increases the saleable price by a whopping 75 percent each time. It's almost always worth it therefore, except for very common metals, such as Iron, when not heavy enough to make a large profit. The prices of each metal are listed below, again varying by weight as with gems. The prices listed are the metals in their heaviest forms:

Iron: 20 Simoleons
Silver: 35 Simoleons
Gold: 120 Simoleons
Palladium: 500 Simoleons
Plutonium: 1,800 Simoleons

Plutonium can be found in a number of locations, in the woods behind Lofty Cerulean Blue Pool and right on top of the hill to the north of the map, at SimHenge.

Palladium can be harvested from the rocks around Sunnyside Strand, or the far western end of the southern beach in Sunset Valley. You may also find some in the back garden of Outstanding Citizen Warehouse Corp.

Gold is quite common, and you shouldn't have too many problems finding it. Look in the cliffs beneath the out-of-town road heading east, or at SimHenge.

Metals can also turn out to be Mysterious Mr. Gnomes, when they are analysed.


Literally a gold mine for metals and insects!

I can't do most cheats, only the ones that appear in help and motherlode, none of the testingcheatsenabled ones, and when i go on, sometimes there are no collectibles in the world

(pink diamond) i was mining and i got a pink diamond, then i went to a store and they had one so i bought it. i think on one of my other families i found one in the molesseum (i have no idea how to spell so just try to read this) and i found one when i was looking for rocks and stuff with the collection helper. as for plutonium...no i've never seen it. i find that if you get the 'bring (number) palladium to the science lab to get...' just wait a while, use the miner, then go to map view the next day and look around you should see it, then to get more just don't turn it in and repete (again sorry about spelling). the same concept should work for other stuff too.

Isn't it platinum not plutonium? I've found platinum not plutonium. I don't think the sims want to encourage nuclear war.

you need to get the collector from the lifetime happiness.I know the cheat to get the lifetime happiness points. press ctrl shift c. all at the same time. then on the blue box at the top.type in testingcheatsenabled true. then inbetween the chest and the number of lifetime points(closer to the chest)press ctrl and click. you will get 500 lifetim points for each click.

Hope that helped.
