My Sims Trophies

Old stuff, but I'm bringing it up. I didn't get Sims 4 until a couple of years since its release, so yes... collecting My Sims Trophies likely doesn't interest anyone. Nevertheless, in my second play, I collected pretty much everything possible from the plants, frogs, fish, space aliens, space rocks, crystals, metals and elements. I also collected the My Sims Trophies, but no matter how hard I tried I never could get the last four. I even tried the bleeding treasure maps, but the rarest they would ever get me was Trevor Verily, Morcubus or some other trophy that fell under Uncommon. Are you just unable to get the last four by looking? Is there some secret to getting them that I don't know about - outside of cheating.

My third Sims game has another collector in its home and she has pretty much gotten everything from the Base Pack minus two frogs, along with all the plants and insects from the Outdoor Retreat Expansion Pack, but she still can't get the freaking last for My Sims trophies.

My fourth Sims game has a collector as well. 'Same thing with the freaking trophies.

Why?! T-T

    Do you have City Living? During the Flee Market you can sometimes buy them, or else there's also an option to exchange collectables with other sims, I think the second one is better as it feels more immersive as it's harder to get the trophies you want. On the other hand, I think I was able to find like all trophies but one, do not remember which though (did it last year)...

    Hrm... City Living hadn't quite grasped my interest, so no... I don't own it. Well, I guess I'll just keep up the endless search, since you remember being able to get three of the Rare ones by just looking. I just wondered if anyone else had this problem, if there was something more you had to do to get the last four, or if there may be a strange inability to get them now that may coincide with how something you could get before no longer can be gotten outside of cheats.

    Thanks for replying!

    *Meanders off to study the info on City Living again to decide if it may hold enough interest to buy it...*

    If you like collecting things City Living also has the snowglobes and posters 😉
    Try searching for the trophies in different towns and areas, just like fish some might be more common in some places!

    Ah! I'm so bad. I didn't look hard enough to find a post before making this one. Thanks for sharing it with me! Hm... seems a lot of the trouble happened after GTW came out... Interesting. I cannot really see the Collector Sims of all of my current households going into the field, however... Dang it, if they are mainly "spawning" in Sixam, then make it so Sims can get the last four by building a rocket ship in the main game and acquiring them there with the space rocks and aliens! XP

  • Hi @Player_jp5s5eav  

    Carls Guide has some tips on finding them all, excerpt:

    • "MySims trophies are collected through Mysterious Time Capsules found while digging. While you're not very likely to get Rare and Uncommon Mysims Trophies this way, Treasure Maps you find will help boost the success rate substantially. When your Sim has a Treasure Map in their Inventory, clicking a rock will offer the 'Dig for Treasure' option, which will be more likely to yield a rare. Completing this collection will give your Sim a decorative plaque".
    • There are a few tricks to some of the collectibles like: Space Rocks are found via the Rocket Science Skill and adventures in space. 
    • Read more tips at his website too: carls-sims-4-guide[.][com]/collections/ added the brackets as no 'links' usually allowed.

    Hope this helps,

    Sasha

    Sashas0nic,

    Yeah, I mentioned in my post that I make use of the treasure maps whenever I find one. At best they get me Verily, Morcubus, Leaf or Lyndsay. Completing the Freelance Curator ambition hasn't changed my chances either - makes nice money, though. :D

    As it goes, I've managed to find all of the base game collectibles before outside of the last four My Sims Trophies. Thus, as it goes, having nearly completed that first collection, currently having two other Sims who have the same amount of Sim trophies minus the last four... I just couldn't help but wonder if there was something I was missing when it came to acquiring the last four.  From the responses and the link to a previous thread... apparently they are rarer than an alignment of all the planets in our Solar System. 😞

    ... I will endure!!!! *Shakes fist*
