Is anyone else having trouble finding all their collectibles? Im just 1 shy of the feather's, 1 shy of the seafinding's, and 1 shy of my Tablet peices, found all turtle shell's, but every 24 hour's my cheif show's a rare collectible, and it's one i already have, wondering if it's happened to anyone else? I want to finish the game, and to me, it's not Done till i have all collectible's...

Same problem here! After waiting weeks for ONE feather to show up, I deleted my games. When the mood strikes, I'll probably start a new game.
Hope you guys have better luck!

Same here. 1 tablet 1 feather...chief only points out shells. It feels like the longer you play the longer it takes for collectables to show up...I'm probably just thinking that though.

Oh no! You deleted your games?!? *shock* I spent about two weeks waiting for one rare feather to show up and finally got it when the chief pointed it out. I was so glad to complete my collections but the waiting and needing to complete the game killed my interest in playing with my other tribe and in playing VV3 again period. There should be surefire ways to get missing collectibles so as not to ruin the game for some like me.

I just tried playing my paused second tribe after finding the cool Family Tree Creator on another post but got put off again by the nightmare of zipping around searching for collectibles. Don't know if I'll ever finish the 2nd tribe or start another...

My strategy for collectibles is slightly different. I focus the game on one spot on the map and I keep it there. I move the game to the edge of my screen so it doesn't take up all the space (the entire left side is hidden beyond the edge of the screen), and then I surf the web or do other things. I usually see the collectibles appear out of the corner of my eyes, and then I switch to the game and get a kid to get the item.

This works especially well for those collectibles that only appear in one place, like the turtle shell, coral, and tablet in VV3, or the bugs and rocks in VV2. I finished my tablet and turtle shell collections in two tribes using this method.

It's also a very good idea to get a mod that makes the collectibles stand out. Make them stand out like sore thumbs! The corals, especially, are very easy to miss.

My poor villagers were bored stiff. There was nothing left for them to accomplish. They were plum-tired of having babies, doing laundry and bathing till their skin turned Pink.
They laid down, shook their heads and said, "Ah-ah not a chance."
I don't want no labour dispute, so I retired them all, permanently. \:D

i have become quite frustrated with the collectibles!
i really would like to complete at least one village
but it just isn't happening.
i only turn it on now once a day and out of 5 villages i have gotten only one *different* item in 4 days.
that is too boring.
also, i can't get anyone to past age 81!
there really should be some definitive way to finish instead of just pure luck.

do i sound like a sore loser?

OK, Im sorry so many are having trouble with this, guess i brought up a sore spot... I apologise, but it's comforting to know it isen't only me... thought i just wasen't very good @ finding the thing's! And TunaPuzzler, that's a pretty good idea, I think I'll try it, and if you know of anyone that's made a "Mod" for the collectibles to stick out better, would you please let me know? I'll DL it Right Away! Thank You! And Thank's Everyone for your input, just what I needed to know! \:\) \:\)
