OK, my Sim is in Appaloosa Plains and I am trying to find the spawner for fireflies in "buydebug" cheat.Where can I find it? Does anyone have a clue? I am aiming to create a perfect Sim where everything is perfect in terms of skills and collecting. I can ony find the banana spawn.Please advise! :?:

No, you also must* *press and hold both shift+Ctrl and right click on the fog emitter and type in firefliesfireflies**But- I don't know if these are collectable. :)

if you get the collection helper LTR, set it to bugs and it will show you where all the creatures are. you can pause the game and zoom in on every single one to see if it's the thing you need. takes a while but it really speeded up collecting my seeds. if it's for an opportunity, it even tells you where the item you need is with a label(it does with palladium for build a simbot, anyway). it costs 40k points, but it's well worth it.

The fireflies are, indeed, tied to the butterfly spawners, however, certain fireflies are obtained with certain spawners, and I haven't been able to figure out which ones spawn which. I usually tend to get a lot of the purple ones, and rarely see the other two types. I get the purple ones from any of the spawners that produce the green swallowtail butterfly or w/e it's called (I know that cause I use that butterfly for the fountain of youth elixir frequently.) I hope this is helpful. :)

@amem39 - Those not averse to using mods may find that the NRaas MasterController way to grant Lifetime Happiness points is easier to work with.

I don't mean to discourage forum board contributions, it's not my place to do that and that's some good information you are sharing, but this thread is from 2012 and the players you are responding to for the most part have not been on this forum for a very long time. :)

I haven't seen fireflies so I reported this as a possible bug in Crincket's thread.

No, they appear in the same place evry night, they appear in the swamp in Twinbrook by one of the empty houses and they appear by on one of the peaks in Shang Simla, there are probably more in some places...
