Collecting in Sims 4
Until very recently, I was never really interested in the different collections in the game, but then I started trying to collect frogs, and then I got interested in gemology and metals, and now I'm really wanting to complete a few collections.
It just seems that my sims don't find things all that often. Today I have an "Outdoor Enthusiast" exploring Granite Falls. I read that it was easy to find 10 unidentified plants with a simple walk. Uh, well, my sim has been hiking for hours and hours and hours, and he's found 3 wild plants and 1 bit of metal. He has collected a few insects along the way, but I was really hoping to complete this milestone aspiration and come up with 10 unidentified plants.
I looked through the "Rewards" section to see if there were any rewards that might make it more likely for my sim to find collectibles. I didn't see anything. Are there specific traits I might change out for him that would help?
Any tips on making it easier to complete collections? It's fun, but only up to a point. When I just can't seem to find anything, it gets a bit frustrating. :)
