The Crystals are just random so you have to keep at it until they get lucky. There are a few traits you can give your sim to help find rarer collectibles (Geek and the one you get from starting a sim off with one of the nature aspirations). But it's really just down to luck and some sims are definitely luckier then others.
The Rare My Sims are Definitely Rare and hard to find. I have heard that if you use a treasure map it will increase your chance of finding the rarer ones but I've never had any luck with it though I've never used the treasure maps on Sixam (I'd never actually heard that they were only found there if you have GTW before if that's true that's very annoying) There however is a bit of a work around for this. Violet is always for sale at Paddywhack's Emporium in Magnolia Promenade (if you still have the original stores in there). The other rare ones will sometimes pop up at street vendors or at the flea market if you have City Living. If it feels too cheaty to buy them then my only advice is to keep digging there's not really anything you can do to trigger any collection to appear other then maybe using the treasure map since I've only ever gotten My Sims when using one.
Not sure about the last I've never actually been to Sixam.
Thanks! I actually managed to find the crystals right after I posted this, go figure, ha! It's true that whining on the forums works. :trollface:
Unfortunately, I renovated the emporium into a bridal boutique ages ago. I wonder if there's a copy in the library for me to plop down somewhere, though. I'm already checking the flea market tables but so far all anyone is selling is junk like toy box toys and sculptures, boo. As long as my Sim buys them through normal in-game means, I don't consider it cheating. :) To me, it's only cheating if I go into the debug menu and buy it for them. The flea market tables and shops are meant to be used, after all.
I just need one more metal (an earth one but I can probably find it on Sixam, too, the rocks do give out regular metals as well) and two more MySims trophies to finish "The Big Four." Carl's Sims 4 Guide wasn't kidding when it said those four collections are the hardest. I'm looking forward to being able to get most of the other collections at home after I finish these.
