Buyable Rock Spawners (Gem, Metal [Ore], and Meteor)
Simply go into Build mode and find all the Gem, Metal (Ore), and Meteor spawners under the 'Rocks' category (there is no miscellaneous category, so I simply chose rocks.) And place them wherever you like.
When these are placed, they are placed underground. So if after placing a spawner, you decide you no longer want it, you can dig a deep pond underneath it, then move your pointer around until you find it. Then you can move/delete it. But they are still invisible, so you'll have to remember where you placed them.
The gem spawner titles are a little vague. They are simply labeled "low", "medium", "high" and "epic".

They are free to place.
They do NOT replace any original content, I simply created a clone of each spawner and enabled them in build mode under the rocks category.
The spawners run on a timer, so once placed it may take a few sim days for them to show up. The timer seems to reset after collecting them.
I've tested these and found no problems, but if you find something I haven't, please let me know.
Thanks to Srikandi for ideas, testing, carifications, etc.

Install Instructions
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
