Gem cutter doesn’t cut gems

September 18, 2012 /

Problem

I can’t cut my gems with the gem cutter. The option is gray although there are gems in my Sims inventory.

Cause

This issue occurs because of an error with the import/export process

Because of this, it occurs on two occations

  • The gem was found in a foreign country or was take to one and brought back.
  • The Sim that had the gem in his inventory was put in the game via the library.

Solution

  • Don’t take any gems to foreign countries. Leave them at home.
  • Gems that were collected in foreign coutries can still be cut via the mail box or you can cut them from the menu that appears when you click on the gem itself. It’s just the one on the machine that is not working.
  • Gems that came into the game via a Sim from the library can still be cut via the mail box or you can cut them from the menu that appears when you click on the gem itself. It’s just the one on the machine that is not working.
  • Sims can still autonomously cut these gems with the machine.

Mods that help with the issue

  • Overwatch fixes the issue in V76 and above
