About Collection Items

<< < (2/3) > >>

Zazazu:
If you check with the Collection Helper (get ye some, it's an inventory item so you can pass it around), you'll see that seeds are absolutely all over the place. Bugs tend to congregate around Stonehenge, the mine, moths in the graveyard, one always in central park, spottily around the beaches, and then in the middle of nowhere. Gems/metals are most prevalent around the mine (metals, mostly), some in Stonehenge, a lot around the parks/fishing holes/beaches, and some just randomly strewn about.

The catacombs can be a good place to get rares, too. One foray recently gave me an unknown special seed, a magical gnome, and a pink diamond.

Oh I'm so glad you mentioned that the Collection Helper is an item.  I almost got it for my founder sim but she had one foot in the grave at that point and I didn't want to blow all those points on it when she wasn't even the collector of the fambly.

I have yet to find the catacombs - any pointers as to where they are?

It's the building at the graveyard where you manage the tombstones of the sims the game finds important and where you sign up for graveyard part time jobs.

Angelo:
I'm certain the method is similar to WoW (among other similarities - see item quality text color).
To be exact, the spawn points for EVERY item is fixed, it's the type of item that spawns that's random. Each spawn point has a list of potential items. When you collect an item, a timer in the spawn point goes off, and when it's completed, a new item selected randomly from the particular spawn point's item list, appears. For example, seed spawn points at the central park have common seeds in their list, apple, grape, etc, while the seeds in the lists of the points around the science facility are of "special" rarity.
