Seashell Collecting – The Girl Who Games

LIFE DREAMS AND LEGACIES QUEST – BEACH: SEASHELLS – TODDLER AND PRETEEN SIMS – PRIZES: EARRINGS, HATS AND 6LP

Once you complete the Life Dreams and Legacies Quest you will be able to use orbs to build the Beach, once the Beach is built one of your toddler or preteen sims will be able to complete this hobby by clicking on the seashells washed up on the beach:

This is my least favourite hobby, just because you have to do this at different times of the day to find all the shells, the night ones are the worst as night starts at midnight! I will not be doing this hobby again.

You have to come back at different times of the day to find all the shells:

Night- 10 minutes (between 12am- 6 am)
Dawn- 1 hour (between 6am- 12pm)
Noon- 2 hours (between 12pm-6pm)
Dusk- 3 hours (between 6pm-12am)

Each option will unlock two rows of shells in the hobby collection:

OPTION	FIND
NIGHT	Midnight Ark Starlight Sea Snail Blue Moon Scallop Mystical Limpet The Speaking Conch Panther Black Cowry BETWEEN 12am – 6am
DAWN	Sunrise Venus Early Bird Paper Nautilus Creeping Dawn Scallop Twilight Periwinkle Horn of Daybreak Speckled Cowry BETWEEN 6am – 12pm
NOON	Brightest Venus Sunskissed Sea Snail Midday Scallop Golden Tibia Magic Conch Freckled Cowry BETWEEN 12pm – 6pm
DUSK	Crested Sun Clam Sunset Spiral Sundown Scallop Days End Cone Falling Golden Sky Tigerstriped Cowry BETWEEN 6pm – 12am

After the time has passed come back and click the exclamation mark above your sims head to find one of the seashell collectibles in that row. You still level up in this hobby but the hobby level up percentage isn’t important as the seashell collectibles don’t unlock depending on your level, you just have to go back at different times of the day to find all the shells.

The table below shows you the level up reward that your sims will receive when they level up in this hobby:

LEVEL	TITLE	1st TIME LEVEL UP REWARD
1	Amateur Beachcomber	–
2	Competent Comber	250XP
3	Avid Shell Collector	500XP
4	Hermit Crab Evictor	S750
5	Conchologist	10,000 Town Value
6	Lord of the Conch	1LP

You won’t find a new collectible each time, you will get repeats, if this happens just keep going, you will find them eventually! If it is still taking too long you can use the lucky spin on the row where you cannot find the item, this will cost LPs, when you click on the LP button it will clear the row and give you a random collectible on that row so you aren’t guaranteed a new item (you will get back any other collectibles you already had in that row) Need to earn some LPs to use the lucky spin?

The completed seashell collecting collection is shown below, once you complete the collection you need to click ‘start a new collection’ at the top of the hobby collection screen, this clears the board so you can complete the collection again to earn more rewards (you will only get the option to restart the hobby collection when you have completed the collection):

You will earn XPs when you complete a row in the hobby but to complete the collection you need to find all 24 of the collectibles

The rewards for completing this collection are earrings, hats and 6LP:

The first time you complete the seashell collecting hobby you unlock earrings for female preteens (found in the store under accessories, once purchased they can be found in the wardrobe under accessories) and hats for female and male toddlers and male preteens (found in the wardrobe under hats)
