One Sims 4 fan has shared a comprehensive cheat sheet to make completing the dreaded "Collections" much easier and unlock various rewards for players who want to finish every activity in the game.

The Sims 4 allows players to gather a wide range of items through different methods, such as purchasing, crafting, or exploring.

These items are organized into categories known as Collections and include everything from plants and postcards to fossils.

So far, there are 18 Collections in the base game and 22 additional collections from content packs. However, collection is not a skill that the Sims can develop.

They have to dig, search, and pick all the Collectibles they can find, and these can be sold for extra money.

A Comprehensive Cheat Sheet to Complete Household Collections in The Sims 4

Reddit user fluffhq has made an incredible effort to create a cheat sheet containing every item needed to complete the Crystals, Elements, Frogs, Gardening, Insects, Metals, and Postcard Collections in The Sims 4.

The Redditor spent hours figuring out which items were missing and went through everything so that other players wouldn't have to.

The list is so comprehensive that each entry includes an image of the required item, providing players with a visual reference.

With fluffhq's help, players can now easily speed up their hunt and complete their Collections in no time.

While completing Household Collections is optional, some Collectibles can be used to gain Aspiration points in The Sims 4.

They can also help to level the Sims quickly, and certain items, like Frogs, can be bred to create variants to be sold for a higher price.

Insects and Harvests can help players who want to set up their own sustainable farms and sell their crops for additional money.

So, while not everyone is persistent in completing the Collectibles, others who are patient enough can use them to their advantage.

Sims with the Appraiser aspiration reward trait can sell their Collectibles, like metals, crystals, elements, and fossils, to the Simsonian Museum.

The Sims 4 has transformed the item collection from The Sims 3, expanding its significance within the game and connecting it to various aspirations.

Players can track the number of their collections in the Household Collections section, which can be found in the upper right corner of a Sim's inventory, indicated by a diamond.

Will you try this cheat sheet? With this guide, you can easily complete the collections without spending too much time.
