Difficult To Find Ingredients For Herbal Remedies

Do you have seasons? I think the seasons can affect when certain harvestable are able to be harvested. Has your sim already identified all the herbs? I love the herbalism skill but the grinding to get insects got annoying in a hurry. So what I did which is kind of cheating but easier, was I went build mode searched gallery for rooms, hashtag the harvestable and or bugs you need, download the room then delete everything but the bugs or plants you need.
