Completing the Fossil Collection in The Sims 4 is a fun little scavenger hunt, and you get cool display items! The collection has 15 unique fossils, and you basically find them through various digging methods.

Here’s how you find them: * Digging/Mining Spots: The most common way is to look for the rocks and digging piles that spawn in all the worlds, particularly in Willow Creek and Oasis Springs. Clicking on these often yields a rock you have to Break Open in your inventory. * Space Exploration: For the rare fossils, you need to literally head into space! Build a Rocketship (requires Level 10 Rocket Science Skill) and choose the "Explore Space" interaction. Your Sim will bring back items from their adventure, and the rarest fossils are often among them. * Excavating: Once you have a fossil rock in your inventory, you must click on it and select "Break Open." This action turns the rock into the actual collectible fossil.

Remember, collecting a sample from a fossil and inspecting it with the microscope (requires Level 5 Logic Skill) gives you a different collectible—a Microscope Print—not a fossil collectible, so make sure you're just breaking the rocks open for the collection! Happy hunting!

Quick practical route — harvest Kairuku (penguins) in the cold/north areas.

• On The Island map, Kairuku (penguins) and a few small bird creatures drop organic polymer when killed or harvested — the north/ice regions are common spots.
• Use a tame that can safely kill/harvest them (Pelagornis or a strong tame) or harvest carcasses with a suitable tool for better yields.

This is the fastest natural source if you can safely reach those spawns. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
