How to Beat The Evil Clone (Get Famous EP)
Collecting elements is a key activity in The Sims 4, involving digging for metals and crystals and sending them to the Geo Council. This process helps complete collections and can yield rare elements. Vampires with maxed "vampiric strength" can instantly crush crystals and metals.
To collect elements, follow these steps:
- Dig for Metals and Crystals: Find these by digging up rocks spread around each Neighborhood. Rocks respawn over time, so travel to various neighborhoods.
- Call Geo Council: Click on crystals or metals in your Sim's inventory to call the Geo Council and determine their elemental composition.
- Send for Elements: Ship crystals and metals to the Geo Council for $20 to receive an element in the mail. The element received is based on the sample's composition. If a crystal contains uncommon and rare elements, you are more likely to receive the uncommon one.
Other collection methods for elements include:
- Using an archaeology table if Jungle Adventure is installed.
- Vampires with maxed "vampiric strength" can instantly crush crystals and metals in their inventory.
Crystals also provide an Energized Aura, useful when placed near fitness equipment to boost skill gain. Analyzing crystals can help complete the Microscope Prints collection by taking samples.
Fossils are found by digging and then carefully extracting them from Limestone in your Sim's inventory. The fossil received is random. Taking samples from fossils also contributes to the Microscope Prints Collection. Fossils provide an Environment bonus, enhancing the decor score of the area where they are placed.
