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.

Taking the scientist career helps as you can do it as part of your job.

I'm doing the NSB challenge as well. I was having trouble with the element collection too, that darn Plumbobus! I think I finally completed it a little after my founder turned into an elder. I think I kept using the chemical analyzer down in her lab. Sorry, it's been a while, I'm on the 9th gen now :D Just know that you're not alone, and it will get done! Oh and the Rose generation is a complete breeze after Mint!

That's very reassuring to know. But wow, you're so far! I feel like this first one's taken me forever.

Thanks for all the advice guys! I've been thinking about getting another pack because I only have the expansion packs, so maybe I'll have to get another. (added incentive, getting freakin' plumbobus :D)

@simmerlyrose Technically you'll need Parenthood and Movie Hangout Stuff starting with the Grey generation and Spa Day for the Pink generation. I'm missing Get to Work and Parenthood - I've adjusted the rules to compensate for not having GTW and I plan on getting Parenthood this month so I'll have it by the time I need it for the challenge.
