Iris is one of the rarest and most expensive gems in the game. Your sims can use it in potions as a powerful magical ingredient or sell it with a large sum of money. In this article, we'll talk about places in Sims 3 where you can find an iris, as well as nine ways to get it without resorting to cheat codes.
On the ground
How to find the iris in "Sims 3"? The easiest way is to check if it is lying somewhere in the city. Inspect distant places, such as a cemetery and a stadium, as well as several of the hills closest to them. If your town has large boulders, you can look for an iris next to them.
If you have the All Ages add-on installed and have children in your family, do not miss the Trash Hunt: Precious Materials quest from a research institute. After accepting the quest, the gems will be marked and signed on the map. You will no longer need to look for irises yourself, but just pick them up.
Similarly, the "Assistant Collector" award applies.
In the catacombs in the cemetery
Each sim city has a cemetery. At night, ghosts soar between the graves, a death fish splashes in the pond, and the local mausoleum is generous with frightening sounds. The cemetery is a mysterious and dangerous place, so the following method is suitable for the brave.
Several interactions are available with the mausoleum, including Examine the Catacombs. Select it and send the character on a dangerous adventure. There is a chance that he will return with the iris.
In the trash
Where to find the iris in "Sims 3"? The most unusual place you should look for is the trash can of your neighbors. Identify the richest houses in the town and order the sim to rummage through their waste. But be careful: the action is fraught with a drop in the level of hygiene, as well as a negative mudlet.
At merchants
You can find the iris in thrift stores if you have the Career add-on installed. But more often you can find a rare stone in the "Elixir Thrift Store" if you have a "Supernatural."
If your Sims go to another country, look at the market for rare merchants: they may also have a rainbow for you.
In the tomb
Where can I find a rainbow in Sims 3 if you have Adventure World installed? Of course, in the tombs: Sim travelers will find in them a lot of rainbows. But remember that the empty treasure chests are not filled again: your descendants will no longer be able to get rare gems in the same way.
Using martial arts
At the tenth level of the martial arts skill, meteorite ingots can be split. There is a small chance to get the gem from the beginning, but you can increase it by completing the Iron Lumberjack additional goal. After the destruction of 150 boards of oak (or any material harder), your sim will receive gems constantly.
With the help of witchcraft
Witches come into the game with the addition of "Supernatural." The transition ritual spell is available to them from the first level of the witchcraft skill. Select an item and then cast a spell on it until you get the desired gem.
With the help of hunting
Where to find the iris in "Sims 3" with the addition of "Pets"? Develop your dog's hunting skill to get an iris. The higher the skill level, the more often the dog finds rare stones.
Werewolves (Supernatural add-on) also have access to hunting. Develop the hidden skill "Lycanthropy", so that sorties for jewelery will be more successful.
Using a rig
Where can I find the iris in Sims 3 if you have the Career add-on? A sim inventor with skill 7 or higher can create a rig. Rare gems will come across to you both during drilling and in tunnels during adventures.
