The [[lifetime reward]] ''Collection Helper'' can highlight the collectibles on the map. To use the ''Collection Helper'', the player must first choose a filter. Then, collectibles will appear in the city map. Also, if the collectible of the selected type is on the camera bounds and the game is not paused, the collectible will be marked by a conspicuous light that marks the spot. If the game is paused, the light will not appear, but if the spotter light is already there, pausing the game in itself will not eliminate the sparkling light.

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 a reward.
A Sim who has collected an insect, may donate it to the [[Science lab|Science Lab]] for money, the rarer the insect, the bigger the amount of money you receive.


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.
