A Sim must have at least level 8 enthusiasm in the nature hobby to be able to collect all of the bugs.Ī Sim with nature enthusiasm may have a want to hunt bugs, but the want will not be fulfilled until the Sim actually catches a bug. If they already have that bug in the collection, they'll release it. When Sims go hiking, they might catch a bug.

Players can view the collection by placing it on the lot and selecting "View".

Once a Sim catches a bug it will be placed in their collection box, which can be found in their inventory. Sims will continue this action indefinitely but will not always catch anything. To have a Sim catch bugs, the player has to click on outdoor terrain and select the "Hunt Bugs" interaction. There are three types of bugs a Sim can catch: beetles, butterflies and spiders. This section describes features that are only available in The Sims 2: FreeTime. With Freetime, they gain nature enthusiasm from doing this. Toddlers can chase butterflies or fireflies, but cannot catch them. Also, Sims who catch butterflies might occasionally put them in their bug collection. With FreeTime, trying to catch butterflies or fireflies will build nature enthusiasm, as will viewing captured ones. Notes: Enabling this cheat will make caught butterflies and fireflies live forever.Ī Sim may have wants to catch butterflies or fireflies, but the want will not be fulfilled until the Sim actually catches one. If they are left in the jar, they will eventually die, though this can be avoided by using a cheat. Once butterflies or fireflies are caught, Sims can view them inside the jar or release them. This is usually initiated by the player clicking on the tile where the butterflies or fireflies appear, though Sims may also do it autonomously. A Sim can try to catch butterflies or fireflies in a jar, though it may take several tries before they succeed. This section describes features that are only available in The Sims 2: Seasons and The Sims Castaway Stories.īutterflies may appear during the day and fireflies may appear in the evening.
