MostThe Sims 4players focus on designing their homes and growing and exploring the characters, but one fan has turned their attention to the often-overlooked in-game hobby of frog breeding.The Sims 4has a nearly unlimited amount of content, allowing players to watch entire generations of Sims be born, grow old, and have their own kids. The stories, interactions, and drama between the characters are usually enough to explore for hours, even before dipping into the optional add-on content the game has.
Reddit user andThe Sims 4playerfluffhq, though, decided to experience a less common aspect of gameplay.Instead of raising Sims or building homes, the player began to breed frogs.They posted an image of the results, explaining simply, “I made a frog breeding spreadsheet.” In a comment on the thread, they admit that they’re “just completing random collections for fun now.” They add in a comment that they love to breed frogs as it’s one of the easiest “since we can grab unlimited samples from the pond in Oasis Springs.”
The illustrated spreadsheet shows all the different frogs that someone can get,and how to make them through breeding. There are a number of frog variations in the game, and players can acquire them all through selectively breeding them. The cheat sheet shows exactly how to get each type of frog, for anyone who’s out to catch ‘em all.

Is The Sims 4 Base Game Worth Playing In 2025?
With more DLC than most people can keep up with and ten years later, is the Sims 4 base game worth playing without all the extra goodies?
A few players did know about the breeding mechanic and, in fact, RedditorWatercressEven8006says they did it “for the money.” Some of the rarer frog types can be sold for over $100 and, the Redditor notes, “my broke sims need that extra side hustle.“Breeding frogs does come up in the game as part of the Curator Aspiration, but some players simply never go for that part of the game.

EA Plans To Continue Adding Content To The Sims 4
The Simsfranchise has been around since 2000. Four main games and many spinoffs and expansions later, the title remains loved and enjoyed by many fans. EA recently announced that instead of developing a whole newSims 5title, it willcontinueworking on and expandingThe Sims 4.
For longtime fans with many hours in the game, this means not having to start over. It also means that the game will keep growing and adding new content to an already massive game full of details to explore.
