[[File:Collecting skill icon.png|48px|left]] [[Gem collecting|Gems]], [[Metal collecting|metals]], [[Rock collecting|space rocks]], [[Bug collecting#Beetles|beetles]], and [[Bug collecting#Butterflies|butterflies]] are '''collectibles''' from ''[[The Sims 3]]''. With the [[The Sims 3: Ambitions|''Ambitions'']] expansion, Sims can also collect [[Ghosthunter|Lesser Spirits]]. With the ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures|World Adventures]]'', it is also possible to [[Transfiguration|transform]] objects. Collecting is not a skill, so it does not have a skill progress bar.
Line 8 ⟶ 14:
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''.
A Sim who has collected an insect, may donate it to the [[Science lab|Science Lab]] for money
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.
Collecting is a skill not shown in the skills tab. Instead, it is a special skill only shown in the skill journal.

'''Gem Collector'''
: Collect 10 types of gems, and the rarest gem cut shape will be bestowed upon your Sim! Watch out... it's valuable!
'''Metal Collector'''
: Find 5 unique metals, and your Sim will routinely get additional ingots returned in the mail.
'''Amateur Rock Finder'''
: Once your Sim finds at least half of the varieties of space rocks, it will be easier to find ones you haven't yet stumbled across.
'''Awesomest Rock Collector in the Universe'''
: Find all the space rocks, and your Sim will have more luck collecting ones of higher value.
'''Butterfly Collector'''
: Catch 10 types of butterflies to become a Butterfly Collector. Sims with this title are learned in the ways of the insect and will have an easier time finding beetles and butterflies.
'''Firefly Collector'''
: Catch all the different fireflies to become a champion Firefly Collector! Having found all of the firefly varieties, you'll have a much easier time collecting more fireflies and other insects.
'''Beetle Collector'''
: Catch 10 types of beetles, and your sim will never fail at catching butterflies or beetles again.
'''Mushroom Collector'''
: Find 7 unique mushrooms, and the quality of mushrooms grown will increase.
'''Nanite Collector'''
: Collect at least one of each type of Nanite, and wild Nanites will start to appear around your personal Bot Building Station!
==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.
