My sims cannot collect any insects in Sims 3. This includes:
However, I believe all other collectibles work fine, with the exception of the underwater ones, which I couldn't test because water actions are broken The items that can be collected are:
I tested this in a new save in Sunset Valley, in a clean folder.

I’m having an issue with bug collecting. I can see them clearly but I’m unable to click any of them because the mouse just becomes grayed out. I have the collectors helper thing and I can see and collect every other option except for the nanites and insects. I don’t have mods or anything so I’m not sure what to do.

@mareluvskittys Please test this in a new save in Sunset Valley, if you haven't already. Don't import any sims either, just make a new one or choose an existing household. You can cheat the points for a Collection Helper; google "Sims 4 lifetime happiness cheat" if you're not sure how to do it.

Thanks you but that is how I was testing it :/ I did it in sunset valley and moonlight falls and it still had the same issues. However, I just realized I have this under the PC section and not Mac which is what I’m using but I think it’s related to the 64-bit update.

This isn’t a huge issue right now but eventually I will need to be able to do this for story progression in WA. I can see insects, but they are not clickable to catch them. Have already done clean uninstall, even installed TS3 on a literally brand new out of the box MacBook Pro 2020 13inch today.
Anyone else having this problem?
Also my game has crashed 3 times when opening one specific chest in Egypt. No idea why.
thanks!

@mareluvskittys and @zebracakes210 I tested this too and saw the same thing. So I created a thread for it and merged your posts into it. Please click Me Too on the first post.

Thanks for making this thread, I thought I was the only one who had this issue.
I've done a few tests in different worlds and it didn't work with any of them. I can collect metals and gems fine, same with turtles, birds, etc. But no bugs/butterflies, etc.
I guess it's not a completely game breaking bug, but it's a little frustrating that I can no longer progress in World Adventures because of it so it would be nice if it got fixed!

Yeah I have that issue too. Only cats, pets can hunt the bugs, but my sims can't.

yep, exact same problem. It is very nice to know that this is not just me, but I really hope a patch comes out that fixes this, it seems like there is no fix as of right now, and it sucks but at least it's not a game breaking bug.

I can't catch fish while scuba diving either. But I can collect seashells.
