Insects not showing up
In my sims 3 game insects do not appear on community lots.

Do they not show when there's supposed to be any ? There aren't always there.
Are you using any mods in your game ?
But when aren't they suppose to be there? My sim wants to catch one, so I started to looking for them.
I have this problem without any mods.

I have this problem without any mods.@krecha_ae Insects don't really show up unless an opportunity turns up where you need to collect them. Otherwise, it's not that easy to find them in-world. They're usually scattered throughout and seem to spawn randomly.
I have collector reward and even that it's showing insects, when I click on one of them, camera zooms in, but the insects are not visible. So I cannot catch them ☹️
@krecha_ae It takes a bit of time for an insect to actually show up on camera. For me, I might need to wait 5 seconds for a butterfly to be visible, and 10-15 for a beetle. I can hear that the beetle is present right away though—there's either a scritching sound or something that resembles a cricket or cicada.
If the collection helper says an insect is there, it's there; you just need to point the camera at the spot. Keep in mind though that butterflies generally disappear at 7 pm, and many beetles vanish at 8 pm. So if you sim is late, the insect may no longer be present.
