Gems, metals, space rocks, beetles, and butterflies are collectibles from The Sims 3. With the Ambitions expansion, Sims can also collect Lesser Spirits. With the World Adventures, it is also possible to transform objects. Collecting is not a skill, so it does not have a skill progress bar.
The lifetime reward Collection Helper can highlight the collectibles on the map. To use the Collection Helper, the player must first choose a filter. Then, collectibles will appear in the city map. Also, when near a collectible, the player can see a light coming out of it.
Players can track the number of collectibles a sim has collected by using the collecting journal, which is similar to a skill journal and can be found in the same area.
Collecting is a secret craft-making skill.[clarification needed]
