The Sims 3 Supernatural Guide › Essentials › Tour of Moonlight Falls

Insects

Insects

Click here for interactive maps

There are two types of insects to collect in Supernatural —beetles and butterflies. Collecting these insects gets your Sims out of the house so they can avoid going Stir Crazy and soak up some nature. Insects can be sold to the science facility for Simoleons (the rarer the insect, the more it is worth), kept on your lot in terrariums, or most importantly for Supernatural , used in Alchemy practices.

Sims love to have a collection of pretty insects at home, so consider your lot environment before trading these finds in for cash. Having an attractive butterfly or rare beetle in a terrarium could be the difference between an okay room and one that gives your Sim the Nicely Decorated moodlet upon walking into it. And you know how critical it is to build up these moodlets in your quest for Lifetime Rewards.

Note

If you have Showtime installed, you can also collect Glow Worms, which unlock special elixirs, like Genie in a Bottle.

Beetles

Watch your step! There’s an entire world under your feet. Beetle skitter and scurry about, minding their own business until a curious Sim like you comes along to collect them. There are several types of beetles you can find in Moonlight Falls, all worth different amounts of Simoleons if you take them to the science facility. But keep in mind that the more valuable a beetle is to the science facility, the more of an environmental bonus it will have on your lot.

Butterflies

Butterflies float and flit around town, filling the air with streaks of color. Like beetles, there are many different butterflies in Moonlight Falls, each with a different value to both the science facility and your home. As tempting as it is to use those pretty little wings to generate elixirs or trade them in for some Simoleons, you may wish to install a handful of butterflies in terrariums around your lot for the beautification factor.
