Bug collecting in The Sims 2
Bug collecting in The Sims 2 is a fun activity for nature-loving Sims! You can catch fireflies, butterflies, and other insects while playing the game, and you can even put captured ones into your bug collection. Adding to your nature-loving Sim’s enthusiasm are activities like catching fireflies and butterflies, and caring for flower beds. You can even train your toddler to love nature, and take them to look at animals and sleep in tents.
You can trade bugs with other Sims, too. You can give a bug to a Sim by choosing it from the swappies jar, and it will go into your Sim’s inventory. You can also add duplicate bugs to your own collection by initiating a Give or Trade. You can also gift your own collection to other Sims. You can tune the behavior of your Sims by changing BCON 0x1004 entries. For example, you can change the default bug behavior for “her/his” and “their” in notifications.
Bug collecting in The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat
In The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat, you need to collect beetles and other bugs to eat. These creatures give a +3 Environment when placed in a room, and they can be found almost anywhere in the Granite Falls area. Some are only found in the National Park, so you will have to hunt them at night or look for them in secret places. Just be careful not to get stung!
The Outdoor Retreat includes the new world Granite Falls, which includes six lots. There are five new fish and 10 new plants and trees in the Granite Falls area. All the plants can be found on any lot, except for a hidden area. The player can also find a variety of mushrooms in the Granite Falls area. Beetles are also part of the game’s new Insects and Fish Collections.
Bug collecting in The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle
The Sims can now collect and cook with different types of insects. These creatures can be sold for Simoleons, or used as decorations. Insects can be roasted over a campfire and used as ingredients in recipes. Some insects are even combined with plants to make herbal remedies. Beetles are only found in Granite Falls, and some are exclusive to deep forest areas.
To find these insects, players need to collect several kinds of bugs in the game. Beetles and butterflies are two of the most popular insects in The Sims 4: they can be found in the outdoor terrain of the house and will affect the Sims’ water motive and hygiene. It can be challenging to gather all three types at the same time. Beetles and butterflies are considered collectible in The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle, but players will need to reach level 8 enthusiasm in their nature hobby before they can start collecting.
When you collect these insects, you can use them to make herbal remedies and feed them to your Sims. The basic herbal remedy is the Sadness Alleviation Lotion, which uses the Elderberry and Firefly parts. Adding this item to your Sim’s environment will help lift their spirits. But be careful around the bugs. Sims with a Squeamish nature can be uncomfortable with insects and can get nauseated by them.
Bug collecting in The Sims 4: Camping Expansion
Among the new collectibles in The Sims 4: Camping Expanson are beetles, butterflies, and nanites. They all appear in various areas around Granite Falls, but some spawn only in the deep forests. Although they are relatively easy to catch, finding them is not. The bug collection is exclusive to Granite Falls, with the exception of a Will-o-the-Wisp that can only be found in Hermit’s House.
Beetles are difficult to spot, but catching one will lead to the emergence of more specimens. Beetles are also a new achievement and collection. There are 21 types of insects in The Sims 4: Camping Expansion. It is important to find the right insects, as some bugs will make your Sims uncomfortable and sick. Make sure to use herbal teas when catching insects, as these will cure the symptoms and make your Sims more tolerant of bugs.
