Collecting (The Sims 3): Difference between revisions

If you see a collectible, you can click on it and select 'catch' if it is an insect, or 'collect' if it is a seed, gem or a rock. In ''[[The Sims 3: Pets]]'' dogs with the Hunting Skill can also sniff out collectibles. Collectibles that dogs bring home for Sims will ''not'' count toward any collection goals in the Sim's skill journals, even if the Sim orders the dog to find it; therefore it is not a good idea to send Fido out in hopes of completing any challenge (such as collecting all gem types for the heart cut). Dogs with a high Hunting skill however, will get the ability to "Locate Collectible" which works in a manner similar to the ''Collection Helper''.

 

 

Players can track the number of collectibles a Sim has collected by using the collecting journal, which is similar to a skill journal and can be found in the same area.

*Insects Donated To Science

*Mushrooms Collected

*Seashells Collected

*Nanites Collected

**Unique Nanites Found

==Trivia==

*Although the Collection Helper helps track collectibles, it does not explicitly state what the item actually is. On the other hand, the collection [[Opportunities|Opportunity]] for kids/teens in which the said Sim is ordered to collect metal/gem/insects will not only locate all types of the needed material, but also state the type of the material. This makes it easy for the player to associate places with specific spawns.
