I've played all the VV games from 1-4 twice over with different tribes and not one of them have I managed to get all the collectibles in.

I hoped VV3 would make it easier with the chief's ability to spot rare collectibles, but she keeps spotting the few rares I already have and there are uncommons I'm missing as well.

Does anyone have any advice for getting all the collectibles? Is there a trick to it I'm missing, or do you really just have to sit and stare at the screen for hours?

Alternatively, has anyone made a mod that makes the collectibles appear more frequently? I checked the mods section, but could only find colour changing mods.
