Yeah, its one thing if you play in the desert environment there is a lot of crystal and metal sites, but they all look like dirt piles now after jungle adventure the spawns used to show what they had crystal dig piles would have crystal shards pointing out of them and gold dig piles had speckles of God dust showing through them. Now they all look like dig piles.
@Sid1701d9, yes, I've noticed the dig piles that we sometimes now get instead of a dig rock. I started noticing this after Cats & Dogs, though. 🤨 Sometimes I still get something good from the dig piles , like metal, crystals, My Sims trophies , or fossils , but other times its just upgrade parts or rotten fish.🤒
But, while the dig rocks do have different appearances (some have crystals sticking out like you said, and others look like a fossil) I have actually gotten all types of items from all types of dig rocks. :eahigh_file: I think they just look different to show you what you might find inside, but that it has no real bearing of what actually is inside. If they always showed what was inside, then we would never get My Sims Trophies at all, because there is no dig rock that looks like any of the My Sims. 😃 Same goes for voodoo dolls, which I've found in the rocks. 😉

@PugLove888From what I've seen, the ones that look like rocks with crystals or something in them can give any number of things, maps, time capsules, metal, crystals, however the dig piles that look like just dirt, I've only gotten fossils, and I think time capsules. I think I got a fish once...
I think there are a two types. The clusters in the science lab are always the rock ones. However on other lots, public lots, The spawner appears to randomly change between the rock one and the dirt pile one.

@Psychotps, yes, I've forgotten about the maps, which is funny since I get them all the time, so you would think I would have mentioned them! 😃 On the dirt piles, I get mostly repair parts, followed by fish. 😃:eahigh_file: Very rarely have I gotten a fossil, but it has happened a handful of times. I think I also got time capsules/MySims trophies in the dirt pile as well, but only about as often as the fossils. 😉 I can't remember if I got a map from the dirt pile or not. I wonder what the rate of getting each item is?🤔
- Psychotps7 years agoSeasoned Ace@PugLove888 Not sure. I tend to get the time capsules quite often on both, but they are always the playful figurines. I get the fossils quite often. I think the map only guarantees a time capsule on one of them. I rarely use the map because I already get a lot of the capsules.
I'd much rather get crystals more often.
