How to Find Metals in The Sims 4
When breaking rocks you can find many items including sims 4 metals that you can turn into elements or jewelry.
These metals can be found in every world and the collection is pretty easy to complete!
How to Find Metals in The Sims 4
When you walk around any of the worlds in The Sims 4 you’ll find rocks that appear that you can click on and dig out of the ground. There are three types of rocks where you’ll either get Crystals, Fossils or Metals.
To find metals you’re looking for rocks that are covered in dots that are bronze, gold and silver in colour.
You’ll click on the rock and choose dig and when you do you’ll get a notification telling you that your sim has found a metal and the metal will appear in your sim’s inventory.
If you want to find a bunch of metals in a small area, the best place to go is Planet Sixam if you have Get to Work in your game. This alien planet has a whole bunch of metal rocks to dig up to grow your collection.
Turning Metals into Elements
The interesting thing about metals is that you can actually turn them into a totally different collection, elements! The elements collection is created by sending your metals off to be processed by the Geo Council.
To do this you’ll click on the metal in your sim’s inventory and choose send to geo council. You’ll get a notification that says “The sample has been sent to the National Sim Geological Council for elemental isolation. Expect your isolated elements to be mailed to you in the next day or so! “
You’ll get the element delivered straight to your mailbox and you can work on that collection too!

Reward for Completing the Collection
When your sim finishes off the sims 4 metals collection you’ll get a notification congratulating you. The notification says “You have discovered all geologic curiosities there are to discover. Time to show off your collection to the neighbours.”
In the next day or so you’ll get the plaque reward delivered in the mail. It’s called The Magnum Ingot and its description reads “The Magnum Ingot plaque refers to the rare, sensitive Magnum alloy created from mixing all the metals discovered in your collection. The Sim Geological Council, however, cautions against any sort of alloying done at home.”
Using Metals to Make Jewelry with Crystal Creations
When you have The Sims 4: Crystal Creations installed in your game you are able to use metals that you find out in the different worlds to make jewelry. You can make jewelry without metals, but you’ll ned to pay for the item, it’s much less expensive if you find your own metals!
When you do this a menu will appear and you can choose almost every one of the sims 4 metals. The more rare ones like Rose Gold are going to require that you find the metal yourself to use them.
