I started the conservationist career and I can't find any anywhere. I get the task to clean up three pieces in the top right neighborhood, yet there's nothing. None on the ground, none in the water, the each is pristine, but I haven't even had a chance to clean anything yet. I know you can click on the beach and have your sim search for trash, but where is all of it that's supposed to be lying around everywhere for me to make the beach beautiful again? I've scoured this beach multiple times now and nothing, every time.

I usually found 1-3 piles of trash on the beaches, and maybe 2 in the water. Might be more that I missed. There should be stuff to clean up by the pool of sulphur (?) too, you have to click them several times. Also piles of ashes (at least I think its ashes) near the top of the vulcano, there's a path behind Calder Camp. If there are Litterbugs (at least I saw those on stage 2) they drop trash as well.

Most of the trash I've found have been in the neighborhood with the volcano.

i did have my mermaid clean up one of each type of thing i saw, just to see how they worked, so one ash pile, one...whatever it is by the sulfur pool, one pile of trash on the ground, one pile of trash in the water. and they did dig up some trash while beachcombing, since sims seem to swap between hunting for shells and garbage on their own there
but the most surprising part was when the pop-up about reaching the next conservation stage popped up. my sim was busy fishing and had just caught a pile of seaweed (the stuff they throw back) when it happened. and considering it was just my sim and another mermaid on the whole island at the time, it had to be the seaweed that triggered it, since the other mermaid was doing the typical frolick up near the 'hidden' passage behind the volcano
That bolded part is what have always confused me. Why throw it back in? Its really not helping the environment on the island, and nobody I know who does any fishing at all would do it. Also, I haven't noticed that fishing up the wooden trunk gives that effect. It would make sense if that also contributed to the island clean-up.

I’ve played several weeks with my conservationist sim who lives in Ohan’ali Town and was very frustrated that I could never find anything to clean up when visiting Mua Pel’am. I’d get the work task to clean up 3 things on Mua and I’d never find anything. I’d have to actually have my sim comb the beach for trash. That’s no fun. I want the trash piles sitting on the beach, floating in the ocean. I wanted the sulfur piles. The ash mounds by the volcano. Several weeks and nothing. I’d be lucky if I found one piece of trash without combing for it myself.
I moved my sim to Mua to see how that would work. Instantly every day there’s at least 3 piles of trash on the beach, 2 in the water, 2 sulfur piles, 3 ash mounds.
I’m so annoyed. Why doesn’t this stuff show up if you don’t live there? I don’t want to have to live on that specific island just to enjoy the career and cleaning up the island.
anyway, i'm also planning on building a marine biology lab on the 40x30 beach there (just haven't had the desire to build anything yet). along with the aquariums, pools, lab equipment and such, guess i'll be adding in a dining area and a sleeping area so my conservationist sims can stay at it for days or weeks at a time, as needed. (i'm also planning on setting up a conservationist club that meets at it, does activities to make it look like they're actually working and dresses in lab coats just so it feels used). it's just too bad i have to set it up as a museum lot, since i've already got so many of those in my game
Where does your sim live? Because none of this happens for me when I spend the entire day visiting their with my sim and he's already level 5 in the career. And you shouldn't need to beachcomb just to find the trash piles. If you live on Mua, they spawn like crazy and you never have to beachcomb for them.
Is anyone having problems with their Sims getting tan? My Sims laid in the sun and it said they should come in or they will burn. I didn't bring them in and it said they burned & they acted in pain, but they were very pale still. No tan or red at all.
You may have a custom skin override. I had one and my tans didn't show before I removed it.
wow interesting. who knew there were even sulfur piles or ash mounds I missed out.
