Critter Catching Guide
How to Catch Critters in the 305
PHOBIA WARNING! ️
This game includes creatures like snakes, spiders, and creepy crawly bugs. If you have Arachnophobia️, Ophidiophobia, or Entomophobia, we highly suggest that you:
Step 1: Navigate to your inventory via the backpack icon on the 305 HUD.
Step 2: Click your name at the top right of the webpage.
Step 3: Select the red button for each phobia you have.
Step 4: Hit Save.
This will block the creature images of the phobia types you’ve selected, so when you catch a critter, view your inventory, or open your bestiary, those specific creatures won’t show.
HOW TO CATCH CRITTERS
Grab Your Gear!
Visit any one of the G.O.O.B bots to grab a HUD, buy a critter net and some bait
. Boosts are available for purchase too, but aren’t required! Read more about bait and boost types at the bottom of this page.
G.O.O.B. Locations:
The 305 = Near the ferris wheel.
The Glades = Top NW corner of map on a street corner near the sim border.
Gator Alley = Near the landing zone by Trout.

Set It Up!
