Re: Not a Bug, Normal 7 day seasons too short for spawn at science lab.

@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?🤔

@Psychotps, I agree … I would much rather have the crystals since they can be used for other things!❤️ I haven't gotten many fossils in the dirt piles, but I have gotten quite a lot of them from the dig rocks.  I do use the maps because it bothers me to have them in my inventory, and if I get a MySims trophy I already have , I either sell it from my inventory, or I take it and trade it at the Flea Market on Sundays. At least that way I get a little something for my efforts. 😉

Yes, I agree that treasure maps should at least have the more expensive My Sims trophies in them, like Goth Boy and TOBOR.  That and/or more rare metals and crystals! 😇  I keep more of them depending on my the personalities of the Sims I'm playing at the time. Hopper, Poppy, Buddy are great in kids rooms.  And I love Elmira Clamp and Trevor Verily in libraries! 🤓  But I can see why you sell most of them.  I also played the My Sims games quite often some years ago, so I do have an affection for the characters ❤️ , even if the amount of trophies we get is ridiculous! 🤒

@Psychotps, yes, I agree, especially since at the Science Lab you have a limited amount of time!  I always end up having to stay late on the day we are assigned to collect materials because of this.  😞

If you ask your co-workers for crystals and metals that also counts.as does cloning them.

Yep ask co workers does count wasn't sure about cloning, but anyways with the map I have seen anything from the cow plant berry deathflower, angelfish, young again potion, rare cryistals and metals, I have also seen the crystals and elements in time capsules.

Well the science lab should only have the rock and crystal dig sites, but after the Sims 4 Pets came the game started spawning dirt piles to dig in if cats and dogs are around they can pickup certain things and take them to their owners as little white blue present boxes.  Sometimes they are pink and white though do have some excellen stuff in there from catnip to dog cat toys to dog and cat treats, also fish, low quality to high quality even angel fish, death flower and  pretty munch anything. 

Edit I also have seen a cat and down spawn as visitors to the science lab.  it cracked me up must have been a bug.
