A metal spawner with its coverage circle.
Spawners are entities in The Sims 3 that permit collectible objects such as seeds, rocks, gems, metals, bugs, fish, and dig sites to appear nearby. Spawners are normally placed in various locations throughout any given world, and each have a chance of creating an object of a given type (or range of types). As spawners are unmoving and often offer a fixed set of possible objects, they serve as semi-reliable locations for collecting.
If a spawner is placed near the edges of a lot, it will occasionally try to spawn objects on non-lot ground as well. Additionally, spawners oftentimes remain if they were placed on a lot that was since deleted.
To see spawners that have been placed on lots previously, Buydebug must have been turned on before entering the lot. It is not sufficient to turn it on after entering the lot.
The Sims 2[]
A large amount of spawners are available in Neighborhood mode, to spawn rainbows, boats, birds, etc.
The Sims 3[]
Insects and nanites[]
There's contradictory info sources on whether fireflies require Showtime, or if they merely require Patch 31. Insect spawners are 11x11 squares. If The Sims 3: Seasons is installed, the spawners will not work if there is snow on the ground.

Gems[]
Main percentages are with all expansion packs installed (thus being the minimum chance). Percentages in parenthesis are with no expansion packs installed (thus being the max chance).
The chances of Moonstone[TS3:SN] spawning, supposedly increases by 10× on full moon and new moon nights.
Almost all gem spawners are 11x11, except "RGM Spawner - Egypt" which is 1x1.

Fish and sealife[]
Main percentages are when being fishing skill level 10 with all expansion packs installed while using no bait (thus being the minimum chance for that skill level). Percentages in parenthesis are an attempt to figure out the game's pretty complicated system for active bait percentages, assuming the baited-for fish uses the active weighting while other fishes use the inactive weightings.
Fish spawners and the Surface Shark Spawner are nominally 6x6, but are effectively closer to 2x2. Sealife spawners are 11x11. The Rainbow Snail spawner is 1x1.

Small land animals[]
Minor pet spawners behave relatively unusually. There is a rather low cap of 20 minor pets that can be in the wild in a world at once (40 in Appaloosa Plains), but even then that's only if the game recognizes the player's real-life GPU as "Uber" tier, oftentimes necessitating mods to update the game's GPU name table to add GPUs made after circa 2010.
Minor pet spawners are 11x11. If The Sims 3: Seasons is installed, the spawners will not work if there is snow on the ground.

Seashells and bottles[]
The game's .package files only refer to the seashell spawners by number, so there is a possibility that some collectibles have been assigned to the wrong spawner. The seashell spawners are 11x11, whereas Bottle Spawner is 1x1.

Spawners that aren't in Buydebug[]
These are spawners that Maxis simply didn't provide players any ordinary means to get access to, necessitating complex modding to make them show up in Buy Mode. This hasn't stopped Maxis themselves from placing the spawners at hard-to-access places in worlds.

| Pangu Axe Spawner | Made superfluous by the dedicated Pangu's Axe wall object. |
| |
| (Unnamed cockroach spawner on resorts) | Makes uncollectable cockroaches spawn, which must be stomped on to remove. The spawner is invisible even with BuyDebug turned on. Will make a resort's cleanliness rating plummet if the cockroaches aren't handled. |
| |
| (Unnamed floorsweep spawner) | Tells resort staff members to sweep the floor with a brush there. The spawner is invisible even with BuyDebug turned on. Will make a resort's cleanliness rating plummet if the floors aren't swept. There is a rare chance that resort staff will constantly complain about routing errors towards the spawner, in which case NRaas Debug Enabler → Radius Purge is the only plausible way to remove the spawner and thus the routing error. |
|
Notes[]
- The game files indicate that many non-'Minor pet' spawners have a 25% chance to spawn a minor pet if The Sims 3: Pets is installed and it's a vacation world spawner in a regular world or vice versa, though little is known about this feature.
- If a protest[TS3:UL] about Low World Resources is held at the city hall and succeeds, spawners supposedly generate more collectibles for a few days.
- No Store worlds or sets come with any spawners of any kind (notwithstanding harvest bush/tree spawners, which are handled by the Gardening (The Sims 3) page).
