The Sims 3 Ambitions Master Invention Quest Problems

OK, so I am trying to build the master invention.  Getting the Palladium was no problem because there were map tags.  Getting the Life Fruit was a major problem because no one in the home was a gardener, So I had to give a character the Green Thumb and raise up his gardening level until he could grow 10 Life Fruit.  Now He's supposed to get a heart shaped cut pink diamond.  I have a pink diamond, so that's not the problem.  The game says If your character collects 10 different types of gems you will get the heart shaped cut.  I have ten unique gems in his inventory and the heart shape still does not come up.  I have all the other gem shapes unlocked for the sim.  So why can't he get heart shaped gem cut?

    Did you try out each other cut ? AFAIR you have to do all cuts at least once.

    @kleineweber1 I've got a shady memory on this, but have you tried doing each type of cut on a diamond? Maybe that will work? Sometimes you just got to do a lot of cuts on different stones.

    Hi @SandArcher, According to the skill journal, you have to meet the "Gem Collector" challenge by collecting 10 unique types of gems in order to unlock the heart shaped cut.  So trying out the different cuts will probably not unlock it.  Plus I was only able to find one pink diamond in the whole game since I have been playing with that sim.

    Hi @crinrict,  Yes as I said before I have unlocked all the other cuts but that is not the issue.  He's supposed to get the heart shaped cut after collecting 10 unique gems no matter which cuts are already unlocked.  It says so in the skill journal for collecting.   I can only say from memory because I am not able to open the game since the origin update on 9/13, but I have unlocked all the shapes up to Brilliant Cut.  I can't remember all of them but Brilliant was the last one.  Emerald, oval, plumbob, marquis, and crystal ball were some of the other cuts.  Now, no matter how many gems I send off for Brilliant cut, no new cuts are unlocked.

    I thought you needed all cuts to unlock it but since you said you have them all, I don't know what' going on.

    Is there a work-around or a cheat for unlocking the heart shaped cut?  I ask because now I am playing with the third sim who is trying to get the master invention, the other two died trying.  Now I have all the cuts unlocked except heart shaped but I still don't have a pink diamond.  He has unlocked all the gem cuts up to star shape.  I have sent gems in for three sim days but no new cut has unlocked.   Anyone know where to find a pink diamond in Twinbrook?  Is there a cheat for obtaining gems?  Is there a cheat for unlocking the heart shaped cut?

    p.s. my sim has collected 10 unique types of gems and still has not unlocked the "Gem Collector" challenge in the skill journal.  I'm guessing this unlocks the heart shaped cut but it's not working.  Any cheat to obtain challenges in the skill journal?
