Photography/Photo collections

There are many collections of subjects for a Sim to photograph in The Sims 3: World Adventures. These are shown in the skill panel after the first subject has been captured from that set. When trying to capture a photo for a collection, make sure that the game gives it the caption for the shot.
==Plants and Flowers==
24 subjects. Pictures of various plants. The common plants can be found around your base Neighborhood, but some require travel to all three vacation destinations. Having the Gardening skill will help.
The plant has to have sprouted to be recognized as a subject for the picture.
If you are having trouble photographing garden plants, check to see if you have a sprinkler covering them.

;Game Issue
:
There is a problem reported by some player that some rabbitholes are not registered as the subjects of this photo collection, to get the subject players must move their sims to another town and capture the picture there, or alternatively use Edit Town mode to temporarily add a base game rabbithole to their town.
Another problem happens when you have both World Adventures and Late Night installed, because the Nectary in Camps Les Sims is the only Lot that is able to be Hotspot, This means any photos taken of the building will be of a Hotspot, not the Nectary, leaving you unable to complete this collection. This problem can be worked around by using Edit Town mode to add a Bar / Lounge in Champs Les Sims or a Nectary in your home town, and setting the Lot to the relevant type.
