Astrophysicist Branch
Sims who worked in the astrophysicist branch can search for stellar activity. During this interaction, Sims can find valuable posters/paintings of space and planets and some valuable objects. Searching for stellar activity has five potential discoveries: the Gamma Ray Burst, the Super Nova, the Event Horizon, the Life on Another Planet, and The End of Discovery.

Space Explorer Branch
Sims who worked in space explorer branch have the ability to search for stellar activity at the stellar observatory. And when they reach level 10, they will have an ability to travel to Simulon V.

Sometimes, this ability can help Sims find valuable objects during this interaction
