Tips for Collecting in The Sims 4

Tips for Collecting in The Sims 4

Tips for Collecting in The Sims 4One of my favourite things to do in The Sims 4 is complete all the collections. With so many collections to complete and so many places to explore to find them, collecting is never dull. With the upcoming release of Jungle Adventure which introduces new collections to the game, I thought I’d share some of my collecting tips with you that I’ve picked up over time.

Keep One of Every Item

This is very important. Collections have a nasty habit of getting reset every time a Sim moves in or out of your household (including pets). Safeguard your collection progress by having one of everything on hand to put in the inventory to restore those collections.
For more information on salvaging lost collections, see our article: How to Restore Lost Collection Progress

Camp Out

Utilise the camping gear from Outdoor Retreat if you have it. If you don’t have it, get comfy with the idea of freeloading at strangers’ houses. The longer you can stay in an area waiting for plants to mature and spawners to reset, the better. You need to be in the area for harvestables to grow so you’ll be spending days at a time in certain areas at first just waiting on plants to mature. If you return to a neighbourhood to find no rock or log spawners hang around for about 12 in-game hours. That’s roughly how long it takes for a spawner to reset.

One Step at a Time

Try not to overwhelm yourself. Pick a collection and focus on that until it’s complete, then move onto the next. There are so many collections that it’s easy to feel daunted by the sheer scale and quit, but don’t! One collection at a time and you’ll be just fine.

Work in Cycles

Develop a scheduled system and stick to it. Start with one neighbourhood in a world and raid it until there’s nothing left to collect, then move to the next area, then the next until you’ve cycled through all the neighbourhoods in the world. Then do the same in the next world. By the time you’ve visited everywhere, the first area you went to should have respawned its collectibles and you can repeat the process. It’s easier to keep track of where you’ve been and what you’ve already collected if you have a seamless rotation locked in place.

Focus on Skills

Focus on the following skills: Fishing, Gardening, Handiness, Rocket Science and Logic. You’ll build Fishing and Gardening naturally as you work on the fish and harvestable collections. You’ll need level 10 Handiness to break open the boards to the Forgotten Grotto since there are fish that can only be caught there. Logic will help you use the microscope and observatory to get the prints. If you have Get To Work, you’ll need maxed out Rocket Science skill to install the wormhole generator on the rocket ship to get to Sixam where the alien plants grow. Even if you don’t have Get To Work, you’ll still need to build and upgrade your rocket ship to bring back a UFO plant from your space adventures.

Start Simple

The easiest collection to start with is the frogs. Spend a few days raiding the Sylvan Glade pond and you’ll have enough frogs to breed any that you’re missing. Consult a frog breeding guide to breed strategically so you don’t waste precious time breeding frogs that won’t yield a new one. Then move on to other easier collections, like postcards and, if you have the cash to blow on holiday crackers, the holiday Meduso plushies.

Vampires? Who Needs ‘Em!

If you have the Vampires game pack, forget camping out in Forgotten Hollow for the Vampires collectibles. The plasma fruit and Sixam mosquito traps take forever to mature. Instead, just build the Vampire Lore skill up to 8 and then buy what you need from the planter boxes. The Vampire Lore skill builds crazy fast since it’s a 15 level skill, so it won’t take you long at all.

Mount or Add Fish to an Aquarium ASAP

Fish decay in quality very quickly in your inventory and while it doesn’t really matter unless you plan to eat them, it’s a little disheartening to see a bunch of foul fish in your hard-earned collection. Mount fish or add them to an aquarium as soon as you catch new ones to avoid this decay.

Buy Fish Whenever Possible

Each aquarium and fish bowl have their own set of fish you can purchase outright to fill them and they count towards your collections! Don’t waste time on those Spa Day fish, just buy the aquarium and purchase all the fish for it. If Cats & Dogs is installed, you can also check the vendors in Brindleton Bay to see what they have in stock. There’s a vendor that sells fresh-caught fish. Purchased fish don’t decay in quality, either. Win win.

Debug Is Necessary Sometimes

Some collectibles were only available for a limited time during events and challenges so your Sim won’t be able to obtain them now… unless you buy them in the debug menu. The Forbidden Fruit and Growfruit for the Gardening collection will need to be purchased from the debug menu, as will the sugar skulls, Easter eggs, and magic beans. Of course, you could also wait around hoping that these challenges will come back someday, but… I wouldn’t count on it.

Have a Child and/or Pet in the Household

If you have Kids Room Stuff, you’ll benefit from having a child in the house as children are the only ones who can hunt down and trade Voidcritter cards, which are part of a collection. Dogs can dig up dirt patches to find rare collectibles and cats can search through fish piles. Both dogs and cats can hunt birds in the bushes to get the collectible feathers that came with the Cats & Dogs expansion. That said, don’t make your household too big. You want to be collecting, not micromanaging a bunch of Sims and chasing after an army of smelly pets.

Choose Nature Based Aspirations

Any aspiration under the Nature category is good to choose for your collector Sim. They will finish them quickly and completing aspirations fast will give them the satisfaction points they need to purchase those expensive reward traits that will make collecting easier. The reward trait for finishing The Curator aspiration is Appraiser, which lets you sell fossils, crystals, metals and elements to the Simsonian Museum for a large amount of money; literally hundreds more than what you would get by selling them the normal way through the inventory, so it might be worth your while to complete The Curator aspiration, first.

Buy Reward Traits

Any and all reward traits that eliminate or reduce your collector’s need to fill motives are a must! Steel Bladder, Hardly Hungry, Forever Full, Seldom Weary, Never Weary, Independent, Needs No One, Dirt Defiant, and Forever Fresh are all super important to take advantage of. The less time your Sim needs to devote to satisfying motives, the more time they have to go out collecting.

Pick Good Traits

The Geek and Loves Outdoors traits are a must for a collector Sim. Most collections require them to be outside for long periods of time which will keep outdoorsy Sims in a good mood longer to collect more stuff. The Geek trait makes them confident whenever they find a new collectible and also increases their chances of finding rare collectibles. This is critical for completing the “Big Four” collections; MySims trophies, fossils, metals, and crystals.

The Big Four

You might want to save these collections (MySims trophies, fossils, metals, crystals) for after your Sim has a few of those coveted reward traits under their belts. Why are these called the Big Four? They are the most difficult collections to complete in the game, simply because all four collections come from the same rock spawners. With only a set number of spawners that refresh once a day and so many different items to collect from that finite number of rock spawners, your chances of actually getting the item you need when looking for those last few collectibles are much lower. There’s really no way to improve those odds unless you have a treasure map to guarantee a MySims trophy so you quite literally just have to keep smashing your way through it until luck decides to come your way. On top of that, the microscope prints require fossil samples to finish and the elements require crystals and metals to be sent to the Geo Council so you’ll be needing multiples of almost every item. In short, prepare to be working on those four collections for a looooooong time.

Play With Aging Off

It’s impossible to finish all the collections in the game with a single Sim that’s aging, even on a long lifespan. It’s not even possible in the base game, let alone if you add in all the collections from add-on packs. I recommend playing with aging off so your collector doesn’t need to worry about not having enough time to finish their precious collections. Of course, you can always have a collecting legacy where the torch gets passed down from parent to child, but raising a family alongside collecting may prove to be more of a distraction than anything else.

Forget Traditional Careers

It might be a struggle to survive off collecting at first, but trust me, once you’ve memorized where to go to get the good stuff and your Sim has become a pro at the collecting game (and has the Appraiser aspiration reward trait), you won’t need to worry much about money if you keep selling all your extra collectibles. Jobs just take away precious collecting time. You’re a collector! Embrace it!

Open Your Own Museum

Eventually, you’ll have so many finished collections, you’ll have trouble displaying them all in your house. What then? Open your own museum, of course! If you have Get To Work installed, you can create a gift shop in the front of your museum so that you can actually own the lot and make money from it. Sell some of those extra collectibles you have lying around. Some of them are worth a lot of money!

The Sims 4 Jungle Adventure: Important Facts from the latest Temple Livestream

The Sims 4 Jungle Adventure: Important Facts from the latest Temple Livestream

The Sims Team hosted another livestream for The Sims 4 Jungle Adventure Game Pack, showcasing some of the features and gameplay in the temple that can be found in Selvadorada. Here are all the important facts that we’ve collected from the livestream:

  • The Temple is full of excavation sites, devices, portals and more!
  • Near the entrance of the temple there’s an object where you can make offerings in order to enter the temple. You need to examine the object to help determine which offering will help you open up the entrance.
  • Your Sim can get punished for using a wrong activation interaction.
  • Trying to go through the locked portal will have your Sim bounce back from the force field.
  • Assembling certain glyphs will help you open up the portal.
  • One of the punishments for choosing a wrong option to open up the portal is having your Sim catch on fire.
  • The solution to open up the gate to the temple is randomized each time you visit it.
  • Traps and devices are also randomly generated each time you visit the temple.
  • Trying to pass through a portal with an electric field will have your Sim electrocuted.
  • The temple might bless you for opening up the gate. There’s a blessing of glorious taste which will make any food taste good for your Sim – even the ones that are poorly prepared.
  • Trying to pass through a portal baricated with poison gas will poison your Sim with the poison gas. You might want to search for an antidote otherwise your Sim will get worse.
  • Sims with the Archaeology Skill can study various glyphs found in the temple that will help them build their skill.
  • You might find skeletons randomly wandering around the temple.
  • There’s a blessing of the ancients which helps make your Sim happy and share your happiness with others as well.
  • Archaeology skill can help you examine certain mechanisms, and with higher skill you have a better chance of figuring out what each mechanism does.
  • You can bring a tent from The Sims 4 Outdoor Retreat Game Pack and camp inside temples.
  • You can bring toddlers and pets with you to explore the temple.
  • There’s a Tree of Emotions outside the temple. There are all sorts of berries that you can harvest from this tree that will help you put your Sim in a certain mood. For example, the Museberries will get your Sim inspired.
  • There are some mechanisms which require a certain emotional state for you to activate them. For example, stepping onto plates with Energy, Inspiration, Confidence and Flirtiness.
  • After finishing with temple exploration you should try to find some other treasures as well because the entire temple will reset after you leave it.
  • Sims can die from exploring the temple – depending on which trap they’ve been caught on and if you decide to take any action to save them from potential death.

Patch Notes

Update: 2/22/2018 – PC 1.40.61.1020 / Mac 1.40.61.1220

Hey Simmers,

It’s almost time to pack the bags, grab the bug spray, and journey to the temples in search of adventure! In the meantime, we’ve used a bit of the bug spray ourselves to squash a few…

So… what’s new?
There is a new toddler bed, The Littlest Big Bed, now available for all in the catalog. And, for the adventurous Simmer, you can place this bed into your inventory, allowing you to be ready to put your toddler to sleep at a moment’s notice.

We’ve also added some new traits and powered an old one.

  • Never Weary has been improved. It now actually provides the full benefit of the word “never”.
  • Seldom Sleepy is a new trait for Sims that like to sleep, but just don’t want to sleep that often.
  • Needs No One, Forever Fresh, and Forever Full, are all new and improved versions of their counterparts (Independent, Antiseptic, and Hardly Hungry).

And on to… the General Issues

  • Toddlers can now sleep in tents.
    • Apologies to the parents that were using that as an excuse to find peace in the woods.
  • Costume selections for the Incognito Costume Party now include more possible selections.
  • Computers will no longer disappear when a Sim attempts to use the “Extract Fossil” interaction.
    • Yep, there was a chance the computer would fade out of existence.
  • Solid doors will no longer let light pass through them.
  • We addressed an issue with some of the roof patterns appearing stretched when placed on the newer roof types.
  • Vegetable Casserole will now be referred to as Vegetable Casserole, and not Tofu Casserole.
    • Because Tofu are friends, not food.
  • The Over-Achiever achievement will now complete with any 5 Aspirations.
  • We fixed an issue with cfHair_BraidedPonyTail that was causing seam lines to appear on the face and neck of female children.
    • It was quite unseemly.
  • Sims will be less likely to auto-choose a tent to nap within when their energy is low.
    • Basically, they were always choosing a tent regardless of what other sleeping options were present.

Get To Work

  • Baking recipes that called for Blueberries, have been updated to now ask for Blackberries… since there aren’t any blueberries…
  • Detectives will no longer route to and open the wrong cell after choosing to lock a criminal in their cell. The changes made now require that…
    • The player clicks on a cell and chooses the criminal to lock away.
    • And the player clicks on the criminal in order to release them.

City Living

  • The yfBottom_EP03SkinnyJeans are now sorted in the Skin Tight category.
  • Sims will now be more likely to purchase items from the craft sales table during a yard sale.
  • We fixed a crash that could occur if a yard sale was started after the Sim chose to initiate a vacation.

Cats & Dogs

  • We fixed an issue that could cause pets placed from the Gallery to have missing textures once in game.
  • Pets in labor will no longer attempt to stand upright, causing them to distort in their portrait images.
    • It was scary… animal rights groups were greatly concerned.

Dine Out

  • Customers will now appropriately leave the restaurant if the Host Sim has left the lot.
    • You’re still here? It’s over. Go home. Go.

Vampires

  • Vampires will no longer get burned by the sun when underground.
  • The Dead Hawthorn Tree can now be placed above basements.
  • Vampire offspring relationship status will no longer be forgotten as a result of the Vampire Sim not having built any relationship with their offspring before turning them.
    • It’s true. I mean, how often do you get to know your sire, prior to being bitten? Usually it’s a quick bite on the way to the office… just a little snack before bedtime… never really any time to ask the important questions.
  • As a result of night starting earlier in Windenburg, vampires can now go out earlier, and not get burned, in Windenburg too!
  • Facial details for a vampire sim’s dark form should no longer reset to their default settings after initially editing and then re-entering Create a Sim.
  • Spider webs, cracks, holes in the wall, and various other wall decals will no longer charge you 5 Simoleons for turning your residence into a dump…
    • …and by dump, I mean a properly decorated abode eliciting a specific mood or feeling as a result of the addition of eclectic wall decals.
  • For purposes of recipes that request a fruit, it should be noted that garlic is not a fruit.
  • Vlad now has level 15 Vampire Lore.
    • As the writer of this release note, it should be noted that I disagree with this change on the grounds that as a human, I would say my human lore is pretty low. I’m sure Vlad was there for all of vampiric history, but was he really aware of it all… I think a solid 11 or 12 lore tops. But we can save the debate for another time.

Parenthood

  • Changing outfits will no longer remove a teens acne.
    • Sorry teens.
  • The yfTop_GP05JacketSporty no longer causes a strong shadow to appear along the waist line when paired with various shorts in Create a Sim.
  • Sims with maxed manners will no longer queue up wash dishes repeatedly.
    • Dang it… does this mean I have to wash my own dishes now?

Thank you kindly for your time, your feedback, and your attention,
SimGuruGnome

Hey there, Simmers!

The Sims™ 4 Jungle Adventure* comes out swinging February 27, and this game pack will introduce your Sims to an entirely new cultural destination: Selvadorada. With so much to explore, think of us as your tour guide with a little advice on how to get the most out of a day in the jungle.

First, head to Puerto Lllamante, the local marketplace that offers survival gear, trinkets, photo ops, and more to get your Sims ready for their trip. Some items can keep your Sims safe on their journey, like spider repellent and poison antidote. Plus, level up your Selvadoradian Culture skill to get secret adventure gear, which will help Sims on their travels. Okay, you’re now ready to explore. Let’s go!

Hold up. Roaring falls. Chirping birds. Wow, this gorgeous landscape deserves a second look! Before diving into any potential mayhem, take a moment for your Sims to appreciate how lush and green Selvadorada truly is. It’s no wonder they call this place a natural, well, wonder.

The Sims Blog: A Day in the Life in The Sims 4 Jungle Adventure

All right, squad, moving on! Once you get your bearings, you can search to find the Omiscan Temple. And once you do, your Sims can find riches beyond their wildest dreams! But, not so fast. There are lots of traps to look out for, and some are even deadly. Solving them will help your Sims go deeper into the temple, where there are surprises at every turn. Make sure to return to the Secret Temple several times. Because it has magical powers, each time your Sims visit, it’s different. Whoa.

How’d they do that? When you get back to base camp, beef up your Archeology skill when you examine all the goods you’ve collected. You can discover artifacts, mystical relics, and crystals. Your Sims can even take these home as mementos (or proof!) of their wild adventures.

After all that exploring, your Sims will need to blow off some steam! Head to the cantina to celebrate your courageous day and get to the know the locals, and learn their traditions. Dance the night away with some spicy moves, and raise a glass to your Jungle Adventure!

Ready to gear up for this all-new experience? We can’t wait to see your discoveries in The Sims 4 Jungle Adventure when it releases worldwide on PC and Mac February 27, 2018.

21 Features We Love Playing With in The Sims 4 Base Game

It’s no secret that The Sims 4 had a bit of a rocky launch back in 2014. Players were rightfully upset about many glaring omissions that they felt were essential to the core experience of The Sims, like toddlers, ghosts, basements, pools, and many other big features that just weren’t in the game at launch.

With all the controversy surrounding what wasn’t in the game, it was easy to overlook nearly two dozen brand new, never-before-seen careers, skills, activities, and collections that launched with the base game.

Now that many of our most-wanted features have been patched into the game for free (and better than ever), let’s take a look back and appreciate some of The Sims 4‘s coolest new features that made it stand out from its predecessors.

Careers

21 Features We Love Playing With in The Sims 4 Base GameTech Guru

The Tech Guru career is tied to the brand new Programming and Video Gaming skills. For the first time ever in Sims history, your Sims can make a career out of playing their favourite video games (and coding them, too)! The E-Sports Gamer and Start Up Entrepreneur branches let your Sim choose between two focuses; will they strive for Internet gaming fame or get involved in the booming tech industry?

Astronaut

While your Sims could be an astronaut if they reached the top of the Military career track in The Sims 3, blasting off into the stars was never its own career until now. Work your way up the space traveling ranks until you get to choose between two branches; Space Ranger or Interstellar Smuggler. Will your Sim devote themselves to protecting the galaxy from evil or will they become an intergalactic pirate?

Secret Agent

Ever dreamed of being the next James Bond? Well now your Sims can be in The Sims 4! Or maybe they prefer to be the villain of your epic spy story. The Diamond Agent and Villain branches of the Secret Agent career let your Sims choose between fighting for good or allowing the temptations of corruption to turn them down a path of villainy.

Skills

21 Features We Love Playing With in The Sims 4 Base GameComedy

Sure, you might have had a Sim with a good sense of humour in the past, but were they master comedians? Not before The Sims 4, they weren’t! The comedy skill is a brand new addition to The Sims franchise. It goes hand-in-hand with the Comedian career branch of the Entertainer career. Building the Comedy skill allows your Sim to tell better and more elaborate jokes at the microphone and write their own comedy routines!

Gourmet Cooking

Gourmet Cooking is a brand new skill that allows your Sim to truly refine their culinary talents. Unsurprisingly, it compliments the Culinary career. Raise your Sim’s Cooking skill to level 5 to unlock the Gourmet Cooking skill and start serving up some of the most exquisite dishes that are typically served in five-star restaurants by award-winning chefs. Bon appetit, mes amis!

Mischief

Some Sims just want to watch the world burn. The Mischief skill is for them. This skill compliments the Criminal career. Build this skill by performing Mischief interactions on other Sims. Building the Mischief skill allows your Sim to perform more Mischief interactions, sabotage objects, and even purchase a voodoo doll to mess around with the emotions of other Sims.

Programming

With the all-new Programming skill, your Sims can make a living doing all kinds of activities related to the computer. While it’s tied to the Tech Guru career, your Sims can easily make a living off this skill at home by doing freelance programming work, hacking corporations, and creating video games and viruses. Building the Video Gaming skill along with the Programming skill will allow your Sims to mod all their favourite games.

For a full guide to the Programming skill, check out our article, A Day in the Life of a Programmer!

Rocket Science

Rocket Science is of course tied to the Astronaut career but your Sims don’t need to be an astronaut to explore space. Purchase the Steampunk Flyamajig in Buy Mode and start building your very own rocket in your backyard! Building and upgrading your homemade rocket will build the Rocket Science skill, allowing your Sim to traverse the stars safely and build and upgrade faster. Lots of collectibles can only be found in space, so what are you waiting for? Shoot for the moon!

Video Gaming

Ever wanted to play video games for a living? Now you can in The Sims 4! The Video Gaming skill is tied to the Tech Guru career but your Sims can make a comfortable living at home from this skill. Build the Video Gaming skill by, you guessed it, playing video games. Building this skill will allow your Sims to play more games and enter pro gaming tournaments to win prize money.

Activities

21 Features We Love Playing With in The Sims 4 Base GameSpace Exploration

Space exploration is an all new addition to the franchise. It’s tied to the Rocket Science skill. If you purchase a rocket pad, your Sims can build their own functional rocket ship and blast off into space for a wide variety of exciting choose-your-own-adventure style expeditions. Your Sims will often bring back collectibles and other goodies from their intergalactic travels. Make sure your rocket has a few upgrades or you might find yourself crash landing back on earth in a pile of rubble!

Woodworking

The Handiness skill is not new to The Sims, but the woodworking table is. While Sims could create sculptures in previous games, the woodworking aspect of The Sims 4 is in a league all its own. Not only can your Sims carve a variety of decorative sculptures to sell or display around their home, but they can also build their own furniture. From mirrors to garden planters to tables, chairs, wall hangings, and even a bathtub and toilet, your Sims can be truly self-sufficient and build themselves their own house.

Frog Breeding

Frogs are a new collectible in The Sims 4, but collecting them is only a small part of the fun. The dedicated frog enthusiast can breed their frogs to create new types of frogs for their collection. Simply have two frogs in your Sim’s inventory, click on one of them and select Breed Frog With… to breed your very own frogs! The frog breeding system is very in-depth. You’ll have to carefully select frogs with the right combinations of genes to get those rare breeds.

Collections

21 Features We Love Playing With in The Sims 4 Base GameFrogs

Frogs are a brand new collection in the franchise. There are a total of 25 frogs to collect. All frogs can be caught out in the world but it’s easier to get the rare ones by carefully selecting and breeding your frogs with particular gene combinations to get the one you want.

Space Rocks

Space rocks can only be found by exploring space in a rocket ship, so start building and upgrading to hone your Rocket Science skill! Space rocks can be tricky to find, but luckily, there are only four of them, so it’s not an impossible task.

Aliens

There are a total of 10 aliens to find out in space! Blast off in your rocket ship and explore as much as you can to bring home both live and preserved aliens to decorate your home with. Or put them in the front yard and creep out the neighbours with them. It’s your world. Your Sims are just living in it.

Elements

Elements can be found by sending rocks and crystals to the Geo Society. They’ll extract the elements and send them back to you in the mail. There are 15 elements to collect. You can even display them in their own nifty periodic chart found in Buy Mode!

Fossils

Fossils can be dug out of rocks around the world. There are 15 fossils to collect in all. Click on a limestone deposit in your Sim’s inventory to extract the fossil inside, but beware! There’s always a chance you could break the fossil, instead.

Microscope Prints

Microscope prints make a gorgeous addition to any Sim’s home. Obtain them by using the microscope. There are 12 microscope prints to collect. Your Sim has a much better chance of finding rare microscope prints if they examine slides taken from plant, fossil, or crystal samples.

MySims Trophies

MySims Trophies are the perfect collectible for any geek or child Sim. There are 20 of them and they can be found inside capsules dug up from rocks around the world. Using a treasure map to dig up a rock guarantees a capsule with a MySims Trophy inside!

Postcards

If your Sim is more of a homebody, they can get a pen pal on the computer and write letters to them to receive postcards back in the mail. These postcards come from all over the Sim world and can be proudly displayed on their very own corkboard found in Buy Mode. There are 14 postcards to collect in all.

Space Prints

Just like Microscope Prints, the Space Prints provide some beautiful art to display in your Sim’s home. There are 15 space prints to collect and you can find them by using the observatory.

With so much to learn, explore, and collect in The Sims 4 base game, it’s no wonder The Sims 4 is enjoying such a long, prosperous lifespan.
