Did you know about these unofficial collections in The Sims 4?

The Sims 4 secret collections, you say?! Yes, it’s true! The Sims 4 has one of the most expansive lists of collections in the series. Sims can collect everything from plants to frogs to space aliens! And with more packs comes more collections to complete and either sell or display.

But there are some highly collectible items in the game that aren’t listed in the collections panel. They are “unofficial” collections, meaning there’s no way for your Sims to track their progress with the collection but they are still a series of similar items that can be collected, nonetheless.

The Sims 4 Secret Collections Guide

Let’s take a look at some of The Sims 4 secret collections! None of the following collections are listed in the game’s collection panel, making them all secret collectibles… until now! We’ll show you exactly where and how to collect these neat items!

Underwater Photos

There are a total of 10 underwater photos to collect for players who own Island Living. Purchase an underwater camera at any diving buoy in Sulani and start taking pictures of the marine life! These Sims 4 secret collections are bound to make your walls more beautiful!

Spirit Dolls

Another one of The Sims 4’s secret collections is spirit dolls. They can be found in the Snowy Escape expansion. There are 5 spirit dolls to collect and Sims can find them by interacting with any spirits they come across while hiking or on mountain excursions in Mt. Komorebi.

Relics

Players who own the Jungle Adventure pack will find more Sims 4 secret collections. There are 3 relic bases and three types of relics in seven varieties each. These pieces can be mixed and matched to create different types of relics. Once assembled, the relic pieces need a refined crystal to become activated. Be careful when using them! Not all of them do something good! They also break after 2 or 3 uses. You can find these relics in treasure chests found in Selvadorada, especially inside the temple.

Jungle Souvenirs

Another one of Sims 4 hidden collections from Jungle Adventure! The market tables in Selvadorada are the only place you can acquire these unique trinkets. None of them do anything special; they’re just fun pieces of décor you can use to decorate your home. There are 5 Omiscan dolls, 10 woven baskets, and 6 lotus statues.

Paranormal Rewards

The Paranormal Stuff pack contains another one of The Sims 4 secret collections! While you probably don’t want to keep those cursed objects that pop up around a haunted house, you can earn benign versions of these objects as rewards from the Paranormal Investigator career. Happy specters can also drop some of these objects around a haunted house. There are 3 Specter Buddy Jars, 6 bizarre totems, 7 Hello Dahlia dolls, 3 clay hands, 3 specter sips, 1 ectocake, 4 strange overgrowth, 12 soul pieces, and 10 candy jars! That’s a lot of paranormal goodies!

Knittable Toys and Décor

Another one of The Sims 4 secret collections that aren’t official collections are all the knittable toys and décor from Nifty Knitting Stuff! There are a total of 3 types of planters to knit in 3 different wall heights and in 6 different colours each.

There are also 2 types of table planters in 6 colours each, 3 types of toy-like decor in 6 colours each, a playable Yarny toy for children in 10 colours, and a special Yarny statue in 11 colours that magically moves about the house. Sims need to knit all of these items themselves or purchase them on Plopsy. The only way to unlock the Yarny Statue to knit is by completing the Lord/Lady of the Knits aspiration.

Carved Pumpkins

Want some more spooky Sims 4 secret collections? Look no further than Spooky Stuff! If your Sim doesn’t have high Handiness skill, you might not want to keep these carved pumpkins from Spooky Stuff around for too long; they rot after some time but with high enough Handiness skill, Sims can carve all 9 of these designs in 4 different pumpkin colours and even preserve them so they stay fresh forever! To start making them, purchase a pumpkin carving station from Build/Buy.

StrangerVille Rewards

StrangerVille has a small assortment of Sims 4 secret collections. There are 10 different military badges that can be displayed in their own display case, a piece of the Mother Plant in 3 different colours, and 5 different posters. The posters can only be acquired from the Curio Shop in StrangerVille. To get a piece of the Mother Plant, solve the mystery of StrangerVille and defeat her. Join the military career to earn all of the military badges.

In The Sims 4 Get Famous, celebrity Sims have quite a few different awards they can earn from doing a variety of things.
