Where can I find Palladium??

puzzlezaddict​ omg you're a lifesaver haha! I ended up downloading the Nraas traveler mod and then i ran the traveler force spawner command as you did and Then i did the object info one and it showed me 1 palladium, and I was able to collect it! Thank you so much! I was literally so ready to just give up and throw the fae potion on her hahaha 😂

puzzlezaddict​ I tried the command doing Nraas but it only shows me iron and silver. I don't see palladium at all. I even did it through the town hall like you said. If you can, can you search moonlight falls for me please!!

and EA_QueenBee​ I don't have ambitions expansion pack so I can't use the miner. 😅 

MadiiLuvhsYuh​  You could in theory use a spawner, but not all the spawners are listed in BuyDebug.  If you own World Adventures, the Metal Spawner (France) Mix High and Metal Spawner (Egypt) Mix High have the best chance of spawning palladium.  These work in any world, not just the WA destinations.  You could place a few of each on a vacant lot and wait.  Or if you have NRaas Traveler installed, it has a Force Spawners command in the menu you get when clicking on City Hall or an in-game computer.  It only forces a handful of spawners at a time, so you might need to run it a few times in a row.

If you're willing to use mods, specifically NRaas MasterController and the MC Cheats add-on, you can also search the world for palladium.  It's simpler to search the world lot (i.e. all the terrain that isn't part of a specific lot) first.  Click on a blank patch of ground, NOT on any particular lot, and select NRaas > MC > Object Info > Not Inventory, select Objects.Spawners.Metal, and if Palladium is present on the world lot, it'll be listed.  Select it to get one notification per item, in the upper-right corner of the screen.  You can click the thumbnail of the item to center the camera on it.

You can run this command for the entire world too; the downside is that it will list every single object in the world, so you'll need to scroll through a much longer list.  Click on City Hall or a computer and select NRaas > MC > Town > Object Info > Not Inventory and repeat the above.  If you want to search for the spawners, not just the metals, so you know where to look, Objects.Spawners.RockGemMetalSpawner is the category, and 5 and 6 can both produce palladium, although they also spawn other metals.  And as far as I can tell, these are NOT available in BuyDebug.

There are other mod-related interventions too, if you're getting impatient.  I can also search Moonlight Falls for you if you're not having any success on your own.

EA_QueenBee​  I'm not sure why it's hard for you to find info about Sims 3.  It's all still out there and only a Google search away.  (The Wiki spawner list is the first result; the reason it doesn't list all base game spawners under Metal is likely that many metal spawners don't appear in BuyDebug at all.)  Plus we have this whole forum with players who never abandoned Sims 3 and still know how the game works.

Hey MadiiLuvhsYuh​,

It's been a long time since I've done the Palladium grind myself, but I remember finding some using the Miner, which you can either invent or buy at a consignment store (I think the Landgraab Sell n' Swap in Moonlight Falls). It's a metal, not a gem, so the gem spawner won't do anything.

It can be hard to find much info on the Sims 3 these days, but the wiki and old forum posts are super helpful (if you can find them).

Hopefully you'll be able to find some soon! 🙂
