TS4U - Semester 1, Course 4: Hoarding 101
University Hub
Welcome to 'Hoarding 101'.
Collecting is an ever-present "side-quest" in both life, and The Sims. We accrue in order to create external spaces that match our internal interests, or to share those interests with others. This course's purview is to touch the little diamond button and curate a collection of information relative to what lies beyond it.

1012 - collectibles under 100 fall under the first range, between 100 and 200 fall under the 2nd, and those above 200 fall under the last, meaning that a collectible worth 200+ would be more likely to return between 700 and 1,300 simoleons.
