The Sims 4 has revamped item collection from The Sims 3, making it a larger aspect of the game, and linking various aspirations to it. There are currently 18 collections in the base game and 22 additional collections from content packs. Collecting is not a skill that Sims can develop.
There are various rocks scattered around neighborhoods, that Sims can dig in order to gain metals, crystals, time capsules that can contain MySim trophies, and fossils. Frogs can be collected by searching from fishing spots, that can be found in Magnolia Blossom Park and Desert Bloom Park, or from moss-covered logs or in old wells. The Curator aspiration is heavily focused on collecting, with multiple milestones requiring the Sim to obtain crystals, fossils, frogs, and elements.
Players can track the number of collectibles the household has collected by the usage of the Household Collections, that can be found from the upper right corner of a Sims inventory, indicated by a diamond.
Sims with the Appraiser aspiration reward trait can sell collectibles such as metals, crystals, elements, and fossils to the Simsonian Museum for extra money.
There are 10 aliens that can be collected, and they are collected through space exploration on a rocket ship or digging into alien craters in Get to Work.
There are 20 crystals in the base game, 2 in Get to Work, 2 in Jungle Adventure, and 3 in Crystal Creations, bringing the current total to 27. They are collected by digging crystal rocks in the world.
There are 15 elements in the base game and 1 in Get to Work, bringing the current total to 16. They are collected through sending crystals and metals to the Geo Council. If Jungle Adventure is installed, elements can also be extracted using an archaeology table. Vampires with the "vampiric strength" skill maxed out can crush crystals and metals in their inventory to elements instantly.
There are 24 fish in the base game (only need 22 for the household collection), 5 in Outdoor Retreat, 3 in Spa Day, 2 in City Living, 1 in Vampires, 3 in Jungle Adventure, 14 in Island Living, and 1 in Werewolves, bringing the current total to 53. They are collected through fishing at various places throughout the worlds.
Fossils[]
There are 15 fossils in the base game, 1 in Get to Work (not included in official collection) and 5 in Jungle Adventure, bringing the current total to 21. They are collected by digging various rocks in the world.
There are 35 Plants in the base game (though only 32 are needed to complete the collection and one of which does not show in the household collection), 3 in Get to Work, 10 in Outdoor Retreat, 9 in Jungle Adventure, 4 in Vampires (one of which does not show in the household collection), 4 in Cats & Dogs (none of which show in the household collection), 10 in Seasons, 4 in Island Living, and 14 in Cottage Living (the oversized crops are not included in the household collection) bringing the current total to 93, but only 82 show in the household collection. They are collected through finding them in the wild, grafting them together to earn rare specimens, or randomly through various seed packets which can be purchased on a computer, in build and buy mode, or by selecting a garden planter.
There are 20 metals in the base game, 2 in Get to Work, and 3 in Crystal Creations, bringing the current total to 25. They are collected through digging various rocks in the world.
Microscope prints[]
There are 12 microscope prints that can be collected, and they are collected through analyzing plant, fossil, or crystal samples on a microscope.

MySims trophies[]
There are 20 MySims trophies that can be collected, and they are collected by digging rocks in the world, then finding a capsule. Opening it grants a MySims trophy. When digging various rocks sims might find a treasure map. Whenever a sim has a treasure map in their inventory they get the option to dig for treasure. Digging for treasure guarantees finding a capsule with a MySims trophy.
There are 14 postcards in the base game and 7 in My First Pet Stuff (that can be collected by having a hamster, hedgehog, rat, or dwarf bubalus on your lot) that can be collected and they are earned by getting pen pals, and talking with them enough to ask for a postcard that is received in the mail.
Space prints[]
There are 15 space prints to be collected, and they are earned through stargazing/moongazing/observing the sky using the observatory. This collection was updated in patch 131 with 10 additional space prints, bringing it to a total of 25.
There are 9 sugar skulls to be collected. This collection was introduced in the patch 41, and the "Day of the Dead" challenge could be collected by asking Day of the Dead celebrators. After the challenge, the only way to trigger Day of the Dead celebrators is by using the "Leave Sugar Skull Offering" interaction on a grave at night. Completing this collection will allow Sims to use the "Honor the Dead" interaction, granting them the "Day of the Dead Celebrant" moodlet which will boost interactions with the Grim Reaper.
Decorative eggs[]
There are 12 decorative eggs to be collected. This collection was introduced in patch 15, and patch 17 the "Bunny Egg Hunt" challenge could be collected through harvesting plants, collecting mail, opening capsules found by excavating rocks, and looking in logs. Completing this collection unlocks a giant stuffed bunny. If Seasons is installed, the player can create a holiday and add "Egg Hunt" as an activity, and Sims can search for eggs in multiple locations, including kitchen counters, plants (indoor and outdoor), couches, and toilets.
