Omg, so I'm playing the first generation of the Not So Berry challenge. I am almost down with the generation and I've got all the elements but ONE!! I'm missing Plumbobus, apparently. I've found both Jet and Romantium which contain the element, but each time I send them off to the Geo Council, they send me some other element. *facepalm* I'm just so frustrated!! Has anyone else ever filled the rack? Any words of advice? (Or join me in my misery???)

Girl I'm so not into this elements collection :neutral: I've been avoiding it but I know I need to get it done so I'll probably start next time I play. Everything but that is coming along quite nicely. As you can tell I have zero advice, but I did watch vixella complete it. She hated it :lol:

Haha it's the WORST! Have you started it at all? I felt like I got the first ones pretty easily, so I assumed the rest would be easy too... very wrong. :| I keep getting time capsules instead of crystals or metals. I'm kind of tempted to do everything else and just give up on the last element :D

I would do everything else and give up on the last element, haha.

@thesimmeranna all the collections are pretty tiresome, tbh. like it's fun to see what you've gotten, but actually finishing is a huge pain!! :|

i'm missing the same piece, also for the nsbc. i had to pause the lifespans because my mint was getting old and still has so much work to do.

Trying to fill the Elemental Display Rack is KILLING ME

Good luck on finishing! It really is a lot of work but I've enjoyed the challenge so far. Fingers crossed we can find the last piece!

I don't mess with collecting things anymore. I never did with any of the others games. TS4 I have put effort to spend more time in live mode than build though...lol So I made VERY hard challenge for myself. I am not allowed to cheat until I have completed the collection at least once. Then I make a room put them in there and upload it to the gallery. Then I never bothered to seriously collect it again. Blame the Eel fish for that one.

I eventually put in a rock store and bought the rocks to send off instead of just buying the elements because there's still a chance I wouldn't get it.

Every new game I play I only get up to five elements in that rack it's kind of boring even with the archaeology skill you can pull elements from the stones and that still is boring. I'm content with just sims making paintings.
