In The Sims 4, there are 45 diverse collections that players can explore, ranging from commonplace items to valuable rarities. Some collections are included in the main game, while others are only accessible during special events or are part of DLC expansions, providing a chance to uncover exclusive items.
For individuals who have the Businesses & Hobbies expansion, the Nordhaven Bike Parts collection presents a unique challenge involving the recovery of abandoned items and their subsequent restoration to their initial splendor. Each item carries a piece of history, transforming it from merely another set to finish – it’s an opportunity to delve into the town’s tales. Regardless if players are collectors by nature or simply seeking something fresh to discover, this guide will lead them through the process of locating every part and where to find them.
How to Find Nordhaven Bike Parts in The Sims 4
In the imaginary realm of Nordhaven, its character was largely shaped by the architectural and historical aspects of Northern European urban centers such as Amsterdam and Stockholm, complete with an industrial past and a network of waterways reminiscent of them. Similar to how countless bicycles are retrieved annually from canals in these cities, players in Nordhaven might occasionally find bike components while fishing at certain locations.
To explore both bicycle frames and wheels from this collection, players need to opt for the “Clean the Canal” activity at fishing spots scattered throughout Nordhaven. Bike wheels can be uncovered in Gammelvik, while bike frames tend to appear more often in Iverstad.
By carrying out this clean-up, you’re not only aiding the environment but also enhancing a Sim’s fishing ability, thus potentially unearthing scarce bicycle components as their skill progresses.
Gammelvik Fishing Spots
Gammelvik lies in the southeastern part of the map. It’s the most historic area within Nordhaven, frequently visited by locals and travelers alike for tranquil walks and leisurely bicycle trips.
10 bicycle wheels are located in two different places on this side of town. One location is a peaceful retreat, situated off the docks close to the beach, near the Rouge Note lounge. Here, Sims can enjoy fishing in shimmering waters, surrounded by rocky coastlines, verdant trees, and stunning mountain vistas.
Players may uncover bike components more easily at a second location – the canals near the Old Torget House property. This area has a somewhat neglected feel with graffiti-marked walls, strewn papers and debris carried by the wind, and rats scurrying along the water’s edge. However, it remains an intriguing spot to explore due to the potential of discovering valuable bike parts and hidden treasures that can’t be found elsewhere.
Iverstad Fishing Spots
As a devoted fan, I can tell you that Iverstad, nestled in Nordhaven’s northwest corner, offers a peek into the more contemporary and industrial heart of this town. Spending time here is almost inevitable for players, as there are a whopping 18 bike frames hidden away in these areas. One such location, not far from the water, is near Terra Potta’s quaint little business. Here, adventurous Sims will navigate a long, meandering ramp before diving into the waters to search for those elusive frames.
As a gamer, I can tell you that the ultimate fishing hole I found was nestled between the steps, where New Harbor Park and the vibrant Spilled Neon tattoo shop meet. Surrounded by the gritty charm of an industrial train station, this spot is like a magnet for pulling up forgotten bike frames hidden under the water’s surface.
All Nordhaven Bike Parts in The Sims 4
The Nordhaven Bike Parts assortment comprises 28 items: 18 frames and 10 wheels, all bearing a tale connected to the cherished resident, Grandma Britta. The selection of frames comes in nine distinct colors with rusted options, while the available wheel designs number five sleek versions and four weather-worn ones.
Players will discover Britta’s affection for repairing damaged bikes, creating crafts and distributing sweets, and her involvement in community events by reading heartwarming remarks attributed to Sims who knew her. Enthusiastic Sims can gather these bike parts as collectibles and exhibit them on their walls. Alternatively, they can sell these items for Simoleons from their inventory or establish a home business using the Ingenius Ingvar Creator’s Showcase from buy mode.
All Bike Frames
| Name | Description | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
| “Anna” Cykel Frame | “Britta would sit near the Gammelvik gazebo quite often and contemplate things. She was tickled by the public art there and called the piece near the gazebo The Pistachio so much that most of us ended up calling it Britta’s Pistachio. I heard that irked the artist quite a bit!” – Anna | Common |
| “Emma” Cykel Frame | “Grandma was the best bike lady and also gave me cotton candy, I miss her!” – Emma | Common |
| “Henrick” Cykel Frame | “Ms. Cykel loved bringing the family onto the Nordhaven ferry. I worked as a guide and she would ask questions about the buildings while Lars looked after little Mathilda and baby Sara.” – Henrick | Common |
| “Sophie” Cykel Frame | “Did Britta Cykel sit and model for my mermaid sculpture? I don’t think that’s my story to tell.” – Sophie | Common |
| “Martin” Cykel Frame | “I was riding the ferry one day and muttering about the graffiti that was ruining our beautiful town, and Britta reminded me that beauty relied on the continuing creativity bursting forth from all of us. What a strange and unique way she had of looking at the world.” – Martin | Common |
| “Marie” Cykel Frame | “I remember how intently Grandma Britta would look at a broken bike. She saw the potential of anything, even something that others would discard or trash; in her hands, it would become the foundation of something new.” – Marie | Common |
| “Peter” Cykel Frame | “I was coming back from my Nordhaven vacation and was seated next to Ms. Cykel on the train. She seemed nervous but excited, and filled the entire time telling me stories about Gammelvik. It made me want to schedule another visit right away!” – Peter | Common |
| “Ida” Cykel Frame | “After she retired from working full-time on bikes, Britta was still an active member of the community, often coming to the various meetups and trying out a new hobby or two.” – Ida | Common |
| “Lena” Cykel Frame | “The thing about Britta is that she never saw herself as belonging to anyone but herself. So, yes, she did love Lars and Maria and others, but they were just a part of the grand love that she put out into the world every day.” – Lena | Common |
| “Ann” Cykel Frame | “I crossed paths with Britta Cykel when she came to give a talk on bicycles at the Britechester. She was so passionate, it made me jealous. I wanted to have something, anything, in my life that I cared about that much.” – Ann | Uncommon |
| “Mathilda” Cykel Frame | “Mother would often tell me that getting on a bike wasn’t about trying to arrive somewhere but about the experience of getting there. She wanted to enjoy every moment of the going.” – Mathilda | Uncommon |
| “Hans” Cykel Frame | “Ms. Cykel would always fix up my bike for free. All she wanted in exchange was a grand story about the adventure I’d taken it on to get it into that rough condition.” – Hans | Uncommon |
| “Kristina” Cykel Frame | “As a child, I used to walk by the Cykel Bike Shop as I made my way home from school, but my family could never afford such a bicycle for myself. I must have told Ms. Cykel this one day, because a week later, a sturdy fixed-up bike appeared outside my doorway with a note that simply read: Kristina’s Bike.” – Kristina | Uncommon |
| “Nia” Cykel Frame | “Well, Britta had a few tattoos, but I’ve been sworn to secrecy, so I can’t tell you what they were, and I certainly can’t tell you where they were!” – Nia | Uncommon |
| “Erik” Cykel Frame | “Everyone knows that having a Cykel means you care about having the best. Britta was an absolute master of construction and she knew her way around frames, wheels, and chains like no one else.” – Erik | Uncommon |
| “Mattias” Cykel Frame | “You wouldn’t know it looking at her, but Britta could be quite the rebel. I remember sometime after she returned from her trip to Britechester, she camped for a week in front of a Gammelvik historic building to push for more bike lanes!” – Mattias | Rare |
| “Ingrid” Cykel Frame | “I apprenticed under Britta for a while and learned how to take a bike apart and make it shine. But once she was gone, it wasn’t the same, so we closed up the shop. Still, her spirit lives on in every bike you see in Nordhaven.” – Ingrid | Rare |
| “Lars” Cykel Frame | “I would ask Britta from time to time whether she loved me or bicycles more and she would always tell me that her heart was big enough for everything and everyone. It made me want to grow my heart in just such a way.” – Lars | Rare |
All Bike Wheels
| Name | Description | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
| “Karl” Cykel Wheel | “One moonless night, Britta somehow convinced me to go skinny-dipping in the Gammelvik canals! It was exhilarating and terrifying for me, but it seemed just another night for her. I can’t imagine what her life must have been like.” – Karl | Common |
| “Susanne” Cykel Wheel | “After Mom and Aunt Mathilda had their own families and moved out, Grandma moved to Iverstad and we saw her less. But she still had her big holiday party every year! I loved going to that.” – Susanne | Common |
| “Mikael” Cykel Wheel | “Writing about Britta Cykel is both easy and hard. Easy because everyone in Nordhaven who knew her has a story to tell, but hard because aside from her sister Lena, there’s very little anyone knows about her before she arrived here.” – Mikael | Common |
| “Jan” Cykel Wheel | “Grandma never married Grandpa. She always said that our love is what ties us together, not the law. I still plan to get married one day, but she was one of a kind.” – Jan | Common |
| “Jonas” Cykel Wheel | “Often when I came by the bike shop, I’d find Ms. Cykel spinning a wheel and just watching it rotate. Whenever I was having a bad day, she’d say life was like a bike wheel – you’re never down for long, but you can’t count on staying on top either.” – Jonas | Common |
| “Camilla” Cykel Wheel | “There was a two-week period after Britta’s 40th birthday where she disappeared. No one knew where she went! Not Lars or her children or her friend Maria! And then – pop – she was back, but refused to say a word!” – Camilla | Uncommon |
| “Maria” Cykel Wheel | “When I got scared, I would ask Britta what I was to her. She would take a breath and tell me that we were two entwined souls that had the good fortune to overlap at this singular moment in time and in this wonderful place we called home.” – Maria | Uncommon |
| “Sara” Cykel Wheel | “Of course, we were taught to ride a bike as soon as we could pedal. I remember one time taking a turn too quickly and ending up in the canal! I can still hear the laughs from my sister Mathilda.” – Sara | Uncommon |
| “Jenny” Cykel Wheel | “When I interviewed Britta Cykel at the end of her career, she didn’t like being known as a renowned bicycle maker. She preferred to be remembered for the many friendships she forged.” – Jenny | Rare |
| “Johan” Cykel Wheel | “Ms. Cykel is a fine woman who has done much to bring pride and joy to Nordhaven, but the piece is called Mother and Child. It is not Britta’s Pistachio! Please stop calling it that!” – Johan | Rare |
