''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'' allows Sims to catch bugs and add them to a collection. In ''[[The Sims Castaway Stories]]'' and the [[The Sims 2 Castaway (Nintendo DS)\|DS version]], it is possible to gather bugs, which can be eaten, traded, or kept and collected. ''[[The Sims 3]]'' also features [[Collecting (The Sims 3)\|collecting]] butterflies and beetles. ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]'' features robotic bugs called nanites. In ''[[The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat]]'', bug collecting reappears once again in the vacation world of [[Granite Falls]]. In ''[[The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle]]'', bug collecting comes in a new form of composting and the consumption of home grown insects. == The Sims 2 == === Bug ~~Catching~~ catching=== {{Vgversion2\|The Sims 2: Seasons\|Castaway Stories}} Butterflies may appear during the day and fireflies may appear in the evening. A Sim can try to catch butterflies or fireflies in a jar, though it may take several tries before they succeed. This is usually initiated by the player clicking on the tile where the butterflies or fireflies appear, though Sims may also do it autonomously. Once butterflies or fireflies are caught, Sims can view them inside the jar or release them. If they are left in the jar, they will eventually die, though this can be avoided by using a cheat.

With ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime\|FreeTime]]'', trying to catch butterflies or fireflies will build [[~~Nature~~nature]] [[enthusiasm]], as will viewing captured ones. Also, Sims who catch butterflies might occasionally put them in their bug collection. [[Toddler]]s can chase butterflies or fireflies, but cannot catch them. With ''Freetime'', they gain nature enthusiasm from doing this. ~~=== Bug Hunting ===~~ ===Bug hunting=== {{Vgversion2\|FreeTime}} [[Image:Snapshot releasingFireflies.jpg\|thumb\|235px\|A Sim releasing caught fireflies.]] There are three types of bugs a Sim can catch: beetles, butterflies and spiders. To have a Sim catch bugs, the player has to click on outdoor terrain and select the "Hunt Bugs" interaction. Sims will continue this action indefinitely but will not always catch anything. Once a Sim catches a bug it will be placed in their collection box, which can be found in their [[inventory]]. Players can view the collection by placing it on the lot and selecting "View". When Sims go [[Hiking and jogging\|hiking]], they might catch a bug. If they already have that bug in the collection, they'll release it. A Sim must have at least level 8 enthusiasm in the nature [[hobby]] to be able to collect all of the bugs. A Sim with nature enthusiasm may have a [[Wants and Fears\|want]] to hunt bugs, but the want will not be fulfilled until the Sim actually catches a bug. There are three types of bugs a Sim can catch: '''Beetles''', '''Butterflies''' and '''Spiders'''. To have a Sim catch bugs, click on outdoor terrain and select "Hunt Bugs". Sims will continue this action indefinitely but will not always catch anything. Once a Sim catches a bug it will be placed in their collection box, which can be found in their inventory.

A Sim must have at least level 8 [[enthusiasm]] in the [[Nature]] [[hobby]] to be able to collect all of the bugs. ~~A Sim with Nature enthusiasm may have a [[Wants and Fears\|want]] to hunt bugs, but the want will not be fulfilled until the Sim actually catches a bug.~~ If a Sim hunts bugs for very long, it will have a strong effect on ~~his or her~~their [[hygiene]]. If a [[PlantSim]] hunts bugs, it will affect ~~his or her~~their [[Motive (PlantSim)\|water]] motive. Occasionally, a Sim who is hunting bugs will be chased by bees. ===Bug ~~Collections~~ collections=== {\| class="plaintable sortable small-text-cells" style="border-collapse:collapse; border-color: black; font-size:small;" border="1" cellpadding="5" \|- style="background:#efefef;" Line 86 ⟶ 83: \|- \|[[File:Tri-Horn Greeves Beetle.png]] \|Tri-Horn ~~Greeves~~Greaves Beetle \|[[File:Vampire Butterfly.png]] \|Vampire Butterfly Line 117 ⟶ 114: There is a bug that prevents Sims from finishing the bug collection.

File:Sims3Butterflies.jpg\|Ten types of butterflies in terrariums. </gallery> ;Notes : Since [[The Sims 3/Patch 31\|Patch 31]], butterflies will no longer spawn at night, and they will be replaced with fireflies. There is a glitch with the ~~Firefly~~firefly ~~Collector~~collector challenge, in which the challenge could not be completed even if a Sim has caught all 8 types of fireflies. This is due to the fact that the ~~Firefly~~firefly ~~Collector~~collector challenge is a duplicate of the ~~Butterfly~~butterfly ~~Collector~~collector challenge, which requires 10 types of butterflies to complete. It seems that the glitch of the fireflies can be fixed if the Sims move to a place like the University. Opening the list of trapped insects may show fireflies that have already been trapped as unregistered. Capture them again while you are inside the university compound and voila. (Bringing the collections assistant will help to locate the fireflies more easily) === Beetles === {\| class="plaintable sortable small-text-cells" style="border-collapse:collapse; border-color: black; font-size:small;" border="1" cellpadding="5" \|- style="background:#efefef;" Line 493: \|70% \|{{TS3icon\|UL}} \|[[Science research station]] (radiation experiment) \| \|- \|[[File:Pill Bug.png]] Line 513: ;Notes * [[w:c:starshiptroopers:~~Plasma_Bug_%28film%29~~Plasma Bug (film)#~~Starship_Troopers_film~~Starship Troopers film\|Plasma Bugs]] are a reference to the giant, plasma-shooting alien insects of the ''Starship Troopers'' movie. In real life, Cockroaches and Termites are not beetles but insects in the order Blattodea.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blattodea] Assassin Bugs are in the order Hemiptera, or 'True Bugs', and are also not beetles.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduviidae] Spiders are also not beetles, and are not insects at all, but rather Arachnids, a group that includes scorpions and mites.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnid] Pill Bugs are a type of Woodlouse, and are land dwelling crustaceans, not insects.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armadillidiidae] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeypot_ant Honeypot Ants] are, you guessed it, not beetles, but insects in the Formicidae family. ===Nanites=== Nanites are robotic bugs featured in ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]''. ~~They~~and they can be found in [[Oasis Landing]]. Nanites are essential components of some, but not all, [[trait chip]]s, and some advanced chips require specific nanites Unlike butterflies and beetles, Sims can design and create nanites; doing this requires [[Reventlov's Bot Workshop]]. Designing and creating a nanite increases the [[~~Bot~~bot ~~Building~~building]] skill. Nanites can also be reverse engineered. Reverse engineering a nanite lets a Sim learn how to design it, and may yield empty processors. {\| class="plaintable sortable small-text-cells" style="border-collapse:collapse; border-color: black; font-size:small;" border="1" cellpadding="5" Line 712 ⟶ 717: \|} ==The Sims 4== ===The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat=== [[File:TS4OR Collecting Insects.png\|thumb\|250px\|A Sim collecting insects from the ground.]] Insect collecting returns in ''[[The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat]]'' and works similarly to ''The Sims 3''. Sims can collect different types of insects and then have them as decorative items (giving +3 environment score), or sell them to gain more [[Simoleon]]s. Sims can also roast insects over a [[campfire]], or prepare shish kebabs or gumbo with them on a [[Barbecue\|grill]]. Another way to consume insects would be combining them with plants to form herbal remedies through the use of the [[herbalism]] skill. Insects can be only found in [[Granite Falls]], though some are exclusively spawned in the deep forest areas of the world such as [[Hermit's House]] or the [[Granite Falls Forest]]. Insects can also appear at different times of the day or night and some are exclusive to either of those time periods. The collection can be quite difficult to complete due to the high number of common insects and the time-of-day mechanic. Insects can be spotted on the ground or in mid-air. A lot of them may be quite hard to track down at first as they can blend in with the environment, but catching them should be easy. A good way to spot a group of insects would be to keep the camera near the ground level on normal [[time]] speed. Pausing the game may not be beneficial, as the insects may be even harder to see when standing still. Fireflies will glow during the night, making them more easily recognizable. When a Sim tries to catch an insect, there is a chance that the insect will bite, giving the Sim an [[uncomfortable]] [[moodlet]]. ====List of insects==== {\| class="plaintable heading-blue" !Image !Name !Rarity !Value !Collecting time !Location \|- \|[[File:TS4OR Insect.png\|60px]] \|Bee \|Common \|§4 \|Morning, Noon, Evening \|[[Campground]], Forest, [[Hermit's House]] \|- \|[[File:TS4OR Insect.png\|60px]] \|Blue Morpho Butterfly \|Common \|§4 \|Morning, Noon, Evening \|[[Campground]], Forest, [[Hermit's House]] \|- \|[[File:TS4OR Insect.png\|60px]] \|Fire Ant \|Common \|§3 \|Morning, Noon, Evening \|[[Campground]], Forest, [[Hermit's House]] \|- \|[[File:TS4OR Insect.png\|60px]] \|Firefly \|Common \|§4 \|Night \|[[Campground]], Forest, [[Hermit's House]] \|- \|[[File:TS4OR Insect.png\|60px]] \|Jezebel Butterfly \|Common \|§3 \|Morning, Noon, Evening \|[[Campground]], Forest, [[Hermit's House]] \|- \|[[File:TS4OR Insect.png\|60px]] \|Katydid \|Common \|§4 \|Morning, Noon, Evening \|[[Campground]], Forest, [[Hermit's House]] \|- \|[[File:TS4OR Insect.png\|60px]] \|Ladybug \|Common \|§4 \|Morning, Noon, Night \|[[Campground]], Forest, [[Hermit's House]] \|- \|[[File:TS4OR Insect.png\|60px]] \|Luna Moth \|Common \|§4 \|Morning, Noon, Evening \|[[Campground]], Forest, [[Hermit's House]] \|- \|[[File:TS4OR Insect.png\|60px]] \|Mosquito \|Common \|§4 \|Morning, Evening, Night \|[[Campground]], Forest, [[Hermit's House]] \|- \|[[File:TS4OR Insect.png\|60px]] \|Stink Bug \|Common \|§4 \|Morning, Noon \|[[Campground]], Forest \|- \|[[File:TS4OR Insect.png\|60px]] \|Termite \|Common \|§3 \|Noon, Evening \|[[Campground]], Forest, [[Hermit's House]] \|- \|[[File:TS4OR Insect.png\|60px]] \|Dragonfly \|Uncommon \|§15 \|Noon \|[[Campground]], Forest, [[Hermit's House]] \|- \|[[File:TS4OR Insect.png\|60px]] \|Jewel Beetle \|Uncommon \|§15 \|Morning \|[[Campground]], Forest, [[Hermit's House]] \|- \|[[File:TS4OR Insect.png\|60px]] \|Locust \|Uncommon \|§15 \|Morning, Noon, Evening \|[[Campground]], Forest \|- \|[[File:TS4OR Insect.png\|60px]] \|Mantis \|Uncommon \|§15 \|Morning, Noon, Evening \|[[Campground]], Forest, [[Hermit's House]] \|- \|[[File:TS4OR Insect.png\|60px]] \|Monarch Butterfly \|Uncommon \|§15 \|Morning, Noon, Evening \|Forest, [[Hermit's House]] \|- \|[[File:TS4OR Insect.png\|60px]] \|Walking Stick \|Uncommon \|§12 \|Noon \|[[Hermit's House]] \|- \|[[File:TS4OR Insect.png\|60px]] \|Dragon Dragonfly \|Rare \|§600 \|Noon \|[[Hermit's House]] \|- \|[[File:TS4OR Insect.png\|60px]] \|Dust Spirit \|Rare \|§200 \|Evening, Night \|Forest, [[Hermit's House]] \|- \|[[File:TS4OR Insect.png\|60px]] \|Rainbow Firefly \|Rare \|§75 \|Night \|Forest, [[Hermit's House]] \|- \|[[File:TS4OR Insect.png\|60px]] \|Will-o-the-Wisp \|Rare \|§150 \|Night \|Forest, [[Hermit's House]] \|} ====Reward==== After collecting all the insects the player receives the "Entomologist Delight" award, which is a plaque that can be hung on a wall.
