I restarted the game several generations later... (and my comp. crashed mad ...for the "80th" time..., but I wasn't that far) and I STILL haven't gotten that "onion" back!!!!!

I was so cool looking! frown



It sucks when you lose something (collectible, event, even a kid) because the game hadn't saved that far. frown I had that happen once after my couple had just had twin boys. Lost them, the next time they had a singleton. It is disappointing, but don't lose hope just yet, the collectible might appear again.

(And by the way, you'd call the "onion-like" collectible a chestnut in English, right? Not my 1st language, so I eventually get names of some fruits/plants/etc. mixed up. I know it's a sort of nut, pretty common over here, but I can't remember if that's the word)
