So i was thinking of creating a collection room in the basement of my lot after discovering half the gems and elements don't fit on the shelves i was a little stumped as to how to best display my collections and still have the room look good.
How do you display your collections? Have you any tips?

Or you could use the move objects cheat to 'place' them on shelves by pressing '9' to move them up.

Thanks for the link. Until now, every lot in my game has one of their entire basement levels dedicated to collections. They really do take up an awful lot of room.
And to the OP, if you don't want to add mods, I find that large (3 tiles) dining tables are best for the items with big footprints, like frogs and fossils as you can place 5 items on them. Fishing bowl and insects however only fit 4, while you can place 3 of them on the 2 tile tables, so they work just as well.
For metals and crystals I often use the console table with a shelf under. They hold 3 big ones on top, and 4 small ones on the lower shelf. Then I hang the space prints on the walls over them.
ahh thank you the glass tank proved very useful with MOO on i could often place more than 3 items in a tank
so i made a mock up room with most collectibles ( i like to put the pictures and microscope slides and eggs elsewhere) I also added in the gnomes because why not ^^
I'm not fond of them either I mean I wouldent have them sitting around the garden. I think they look kind of at home beside the doll things
That room looks great thank you for the great ideas
That is cool. I think my scientist Grandma will use the other half of her lower basement like this.

ooh great tip i never thought of that !
That is sweet.
Thank you!
Just a bit of extra info for people: I have things displayed behind windows in that image, the problem with that is you can't actually view them because they're in a separate room. But stacking tables works nicely because the slots are still the same whether the table is on the ground or not. The tables in @LoneOnyxStardust room (which is amazing btw!) would probably look better than the ones I used because the legs are so straight and have a constant width.
You mean "My Sims" trophies, it's not anime it's characters from an old kid style sims game.
as for the rest of the collectables, I kept some of the mysims trophies like the pizza chef is in my kitchen Buddy is on my nightstand. The wood working Dragon Sculpture I made is on my Mantle. my easter eggs are in the household inventory.
I haven't been to space yet nor have I been frog hunting, and I don't like fishing.

@kremesch73 I love this kind of rustic look.. this is for my ghosts maybe..
@Shaobun This would fit with my scientists the best, more modern look
@masongamer Great for basement, that would be a good basement for the Goths.. could be really fancy.
I have the easter eggs on display above the TV in the living room, Elements on the board in the basement lab along with the microscope prints and lab equipment.
And in the lower basement the My Sims trophies on shelves, Insects in display cases, Not got the rest of my partial collections done as yet but getting there slowly, I will get some screens later if the forum allows me to post them.
Also bookmarked this thread so I can use it to copy ideas, I mean for reference ;)
Are those bookshelves in the game? I've never seen them.
Excellent way to decorate the science facility.

The ones with the frogs? No they're cc
Even though gnomes aren't collectibles i bought every single one of them and made a garden for them:
Some of my creations in the gallery use CC so remember to enable them in the gallery's options to see them all.
