Unfortunately there is no way to find them, you have to wait until they appear on screen from doing random things in your Sim town e.g. hobbies, cooking and gardening etc.
And some of us (me!) pretend they don't exist. I got a shock yesterday when I got the message I could upgrade one - I don't even remember which - had enough resources to upgrade!

The only exception is that I blew through loads of LP to get the turtle to level 25, which allowed my Sims to not have their inspiration drain instantly.
I have been ignoring them, too, so it is always a nice surprise when I get to upgrade one. It's like if you stop trying so hard, they start giving you the resources. I just looked at mine, which has been stuck on 3 magma embers out of 15 needed for weeks and today it says I have 11! I don't remember when / where I got them. Just been gardening, sending them to work and school having them do their daily eating, personal hygiene, reading, goofing around doing whatever they do in the snow park, working on their hobbies for LP and noticed that the resources are slowly, but surely, adding up. I am using my LP for pets and Christmas stuff rather than on the monuments. Stopped making myself crazy over it - they may be at level 5 or 10 forever....
I think, therefore, I Sim! (Or I did before they told me to "harvest" them)

I got a wind today! I was in utter shock. But I've been doing the same thing, not worrying over it, every once in a while I meander over to Mystery Island and see where I'm at and usually have a few more than last time. I'm just going to take them as they come, but I will use LP if they get down to only need 3 and that is usually on one resource and then I get to upgrade.

This is like the best thing to do. The same happened to me with the Pearls. The only thing I do like twice a week is the wardrobe thing but don't spend more than 5 minutes every time I do it. I'm not spending a single LP on them, especially knowing that once you reach the highest level you keep getting the resources. Same with the Sim Town Sign ones, I've been stuck in Level 1 for like 2 weeks 'cause the tv cameos haven't showed up at all, but I have enough photoshoots to give to other people (if only I could do that) xD. I just do the normal activities and the goals...
I'm on Facebook! Just ask ;)

Ugh, stuck on the stupid TV cameos as well. I just want the TI mansion.
Decided not to bother with the monuments, although I did get a magma this morning while doing the wardrobe trick. I also received my thousandth magazine shoot (slight exaggeration).

I think Erin mentioned something similar on this forum but in another thread. Wouldn't it be incredible if we could have a special "Neighbors" thrift shop where we could give away our extra resources, or even old furniture? :idea:

For me then, the idea of "neighbors" would mean a lot more. It would be a real Sim community where we could choose to help each other (or not) depending on our circumstances, just like in real life.

8-) By the way, my town Mayor, Maya Angelou, has just adopted a new Sim Socialist platform, with the 'Neighbor Thrift Shop" as the cornerstone of her political agenda. She seems to think she could negotiate effectively with the Fire Monkey Overlords.

If they keep coming at this rate, soon it won't be an exaggeration :lol:
