Meteorites

You can find these lying around like other items, or even spot them with a telescope. I really think the telescope method isn't too great after playing as my logic Sim. He used the telescope heavily to make it to the tenth level, and only spotted a couple of meteorites in all that time.

There are about 32 types of meteorite to be found. There's not real way to track what ones you've found, so a list of all of them has limited uses. See below for a list of all types. Each meteorite you find can be analyzed, which may prove the rock to be worth much more than you originally thought.

Space rocks come in three sizes: Tiny, Large and Gigantic. Gigantic meteorites take up a 2x3 section of floor and can be a pretty impressive decoration. You're more likely to find these types using the telescope from my experience. Overall, the larger finds tend to provide more cash. It seems the price is based on weight and the type factored together.

There are two challenges associated with Space Rocks in the Sims 3: Amateur Rock Finder is unlocked after finding 16 different types of meteorite. This makes it easier to find the others you haven't yet found. The last challenge is Awesomest Rock Collector in the Universe which is completed after finding every kind of rock. This makes it more likely you'll find the most rare and valuable space rocks.

My Sim once found a gigantic space rock valued at $4000 under the mausoleum in the graveyard while exploring the catacombs.
