Thanks, Kasey, here it is! I really have a hint AND a question. The hit: I discovered that if you take a child and put it o the leftover arrow(tool) near the place where the growth of thick vines were, in the upper right-hand section of the screen, and then "swap" the child villager back and forth between the tools and the nearby vines, maybe three or four times, then take the child on a "tour" around the village, and you will ALWAYS find either a collectable or a mushroom! This has worked at least the last 10 or so times I have tried it and I now have almost all of my collectables! OKAY, now the question: Where are the berries! I have yet to locate those and am running out of food! Thanks! Julie
