Collectibles

If the Museum is on community lot, be aware that kleptomaniacs might steal a few items. Might be fun to discover that something is missing, but perhaps trying to lock in those most valuable treasures, somehow?

All good, I have a mod from LittleMsSam that lets you lock out kleptos! (The Gender & More - Custom Lot Trait one.) I have a household with a klepto member, so I just have to make sure not to actually go there with him.

I've found that some of the metals and crystals can be useful later (you can use crystal samples to get the microscope pictures, and you need crystals for the JA relics). I've perfected every harvestable, so I keep a couple of those on hand. I don't keep fish, except for the expensive ones that can be used for fertiliser, and I've never managed to get all the bugs from OR.

What annoys me is that I have complete collections in the treasure chest or around the house, but the collections tab continually forgets that I've got them all in my legacy save.

This for me as well. Also, I figure if they have a little museum room in say...the basement, then any future sims that need completed collections maybe it will help them. So far I've never had to see if that worked in any save or not for the collector aspiration or if they have to find new ones because I've never had to repeat that aspiration before but I save them anyway.

I was thinking that when my Sim is rich I would build display room and put them all on display.
Currently they mostly sit in my Sim's inventory too and I use a couple for mood or decor.

If I could go around the town and dig up stuff irl I would totally do so, since I too am a collector, lol

@Simmerville , good idea keeping items to match the personality. I don't really like storing so many items in my inventories but also not sure if I should just get rid of it.

In one save, I have a sim with the geek trait, and she complains if she goes even a day without digging up something, so it's really piling up.

How do you gift collectibles?

Anything in a sim's inventory can be gifted. The action is under Friendly and I think it's called Friendly Gift. Then you will choose item from inventory. Not sure what pack this feature came with, or if it's been patched to base game.

I haven't seen that action, so it must be from a pack. I only have Get to Work.
