I'm having a situation with HiddenCuts part of this mod that I'm not sure if it's a feature or a glitch. Did this mod change things so that cuts are unlocked on a household level and not the traditional per-Sim level?

My collector sim has collected enough gem types to unlock the Heart-Shaped and sent enough to be cut to unlock up to Crystal Ball. Put HiddenCuts in and Star, Skull, Polished and Spire cuts show up like they should - no problem. I switch to her housemate who's only supposed to have Emerald and Oval cuts and he's not got the same cut choices she does.

Is this deliberate or an oops and if it's deliberate is the a way I can turn it off? I'd kinda like to track of where each of them's at by what kind of cuts they've got available.

What's the problem exactly? He won't have same cut choices since he hadn't cut enough gems, you need the Unlocked Cuts mod for that.

::headdesk:: Sorry about that - the 'not' wasn't supposed to be there. Also I think he snuck up there that high with the cut options when I wasn't paying attention cuz I just tried this in a new 'hood with a different couple and everything showed/worked like it should have. Nevermind.

Did you download the GemUnlockedEggCut.package? Also, what's your game version?

I actually need your version numbers. All of them, not just the base game and last EP. And still, with the old version, did you download GemUnlockedEggCut.package?

But with the new version now, does the egg cut appear?

Any way this will be getting updated? It functions just fine but it seems to be causing issues with my spawners where they won't spawn materials. I've checked if it's complications elsewhere but all roads have led back to this mod being the source unfortunately. My guess is because it's not up to date with the most recent patch.

I don't think this could even interfere with the spawners since it doesn't have anything to do with them. Have you tried removing ALL CC and just leave this one in for testing purpose?
Test Subject

Yes I did, I might however be able to explain what's going on. The only spawners that are being affected by the mod are the spawners for Late Night materials (Carbon Steel, Tungsten Carbide, Vampires Eye, Smithsonite) I don't know exactly what from the mod but be causing it, but has it been made compatible with Late Night?

I didn't change anything for Late Night or any of the newer pack/patch, simply because there's nothing to update. But I'll look into it when I have some spare time, although I still have no idea if it even capable of interfering with the spawners. Do you know which mod is the culprit? The best cut, hidden cut, random, or the other?

Huh, after reinstalling these mods one by one the errors seemed to not be appearing, I haven't been around the spawners and wouldn't know how to force them to spawn something but if the errors aren't appearing then I have no idea what the problem is. If I see anything further I'll let you know about it.

When I first start my game these mods work and I can have my Sims cut any gem in any shape, just the way you modded it.
But when I take them on vacation (or bring them home from vacation), they suddenly lose the unlocked gem cut options.
What is happening?
I have fully patched game version 1.22.

It's an EA bug. I think Awesomemod fixed that bug.

I tried the "Best Cut" mod by itself, but it didn't add any option to the gem's menu. Does it require one of the other mods as a prerequisite?

Nevermind, it appears to be the traveling that nixed the options for those gems. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Is there a way to get this to work on old gems as well instead of just on new gems found after mod is installed?

This works just fine with 1.26/Pets installed. No need for any update, except for the Star & Skull cut tuning mod, which I've updated just now. With the new patch, Star cut already has a price (400), so I left it unchanged and only changed the price of Skull cut.

It's an EA bug with gems. Awesomemod fixes that.

Is this compatible with 1.29? I like the option to use different cuts for my gems.
