Brown dig patches?

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. We had a dog crisis. She's getting older and managed to break off one of her upper canine teeth, and her vet can't pull it (it's actually minor surgery for a dog, because the root is massive) until this Thursday, so managing her is like taking care of a teething baby.

Anyway, I tend to avoid Mods. Perhaps there is a cheat code or two out there. You can always find excellent compilations on Reddit. As for the screen shots, I took some for you as promised, but they are not showing up in my desktop Sims folder. I'll go back and take them the old fashioned way. To heck with the in-game camera! lol

I've been finding a lot of nodes on the Bluffs and in the area below the ruins in Windenburg lately. Trouble is you need to walk your sim through the area. Then the trees and plants start to show up and finally the nodes and dirt piles. So far the dirt piles have only yielded low level upgrading parts and a couple of time capsules, nothing of any real interest. You don't need a pet to dig in them, and I understand why the developers added to every world. It would cause the game to explode to limit them to games that only ran Cats and Dogs.

As for Willow Creek, I'll poke around and see if the collection node generator is buggy. Willow Creek was always the tricky one with the exception of the neighborhood with the "magic" tree that only Master Gardeners can access. The park mostly has flowers, trees and plants. But I'll snoop around.

Talk to you in a day or two....

I noticed this weekend (I played sooooo many hours) that more often than not brown dig spots would generate. They also don't go away when I dig them up, which is weird because they would prior. Then next day they would spawn again, or it would alternate b/t rocks and logs.

Sorry to hear about your dog ,hope she will be ok. Will totally check out those areas thank you so much for taking the time to take screenshots and explore for the nodes appreciate it

OMG OMG OMG I just saved and exited my game to install something, went back to my back after and unbelievably lots of collection spawns were around my sims house that had,nt previously been there in days, the reason I made this thread. I don't know if its because I started a new save recently or if the game had an update but imagine my surprise and happiness

I'm glad you posted this because now I know its not my game. I have the same thing. I can't search for frogs any more because all I have is brown dig patches. I'm getting weird stuff when I dig as well. I got a Minnow Fish in the community garden where there used to be a Frog spawning log.

Edit: Rather randomly, my frog and mineral spawners have returned. I don't know what I did to make it happen. But they have returned. Very weird.
