Line 1: {{Distinguish\|Dig site}} '''Digging''' is an interaction in ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'', and ''[[The Sims 4]]''. == The Sims == When on vacation, a [[Sim]] can rent a '''Metal Detector''' from Rental Shack Zack and go looking for buried treasure. Once the Sim stops looking for treasure, the metal detector returns to the shack and must be rented again if if the player wants that Sim to keep digging. More often than not, the Sim will find small amounts of money that was presumably lost by other vacationers. However, Sims may find [[souvenirs]] while looking for treasure. If they're lucky, they may even find a bit of treasure. Of course, they may also find an old boot or two. With ''[[The Sims: Unleashed]]'', a bored [[dog]] may dig holes. Since vacationing families take their pets with them, there's a slight chance that a dog will dig something up while on [[Vacation Island]], but it's ~~not very likely~~unlikely. == The Sims 2 == [[File:Sim digging for treasure Bon Voyage.png\|thumb\|A Sim digging for treasure.]] [[File:Sim finding treasure chest Bon Voyage.png\|thumb\|A Sim uncovering a treasure chest.]] Digging was added in ''[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage]]'', and can yield unexpected treasures, maps to [[secret lot]]s, rocks, bones, or other objects. Sims can dig on any uncovered terrain anywhere — including dorm, hotel, community, and home lots. Objects that have been dug up will be added to the Sim's [[inventory]], and can be sold for their current value; since Sims dig them up for free, this can be a way for Sims to make money. [[File:Sim bursting water pipe Bon Voyage.png\|thumb\|A burst water pipe.]] There is a random chance that Sims will burst the water main while digging. If this happens, the Sim will run around and panic while the busted water main creates puddles and lowers the environment score. The only way to fix the busted main is to have a Sim fill the hole in. The hole does not need to be entirely filled in to stop the leak, however; filling the hole until it decreases in size once is enough. If the puddles are left unmopped, they will eventually cause weeds to grow. Sims might dig a treasure chest which is worth §5,000. It can be put up for sale in an owned [[business]]es if ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business\|Open for Business]]'' is installed. The chest [[Depreciation#Appreciation\|gains slightly in value]] with each passing day. [[Dog]]s can also dig holes in the yard if ''[[The Sims 2: Pets\|Pets]]'' is installed, although dogs cannot find treasure or burst water pipes. Sims can continue digging from such holes like normal, however. Holes dug by Sims or dogs will lower the environment score, and won't disappear on their own; they must be filled in by a Sim or by a [[maid]].<ref>Initially, [[gardener]]s were tasked with filling in holes. If ''Bon Voyage'' is installed, maids will be the ones filling in holes instead, according to [http://cyjon.net/node/432 Cyjon].</ref> == The Sims 3 == ~~{{stub}}~~ [[File:Digging.JPG\|thumb\|A Sim digging in a promotional video]] Digging returned in ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]''. A Sim with a shovel can dig at a [[dig site]] and use it to find gemstones, metals, and other Items. Digging also comes in ''[[Ambitions]]'' in the form of the [[miner]], which a Sim can invent. The Digging Skill is a skill that can be obtained by dogs in ''[[The Sims 3: Pets]]''. It is possible to take a class in the skill, or it can be taught by a Sim. At level 2 of digging, dogs will be able to "sniff out something", which gives their Sims the ability to dig there. ==The Sims 4== '''Digging''' is an interaction for ''[[The Sims 2]]'', added in ''[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage]]''. Digging can yield unexpected treasures, maps to [[secret lot]]s,rocks, bone, or bust the water main etc.{{Vgversion\|TS2:BV}} Sims can dig on any terrain anywhere for example dorm, hotel, home, or any community lot. There is the random chance that your Sim while digging can bust the water main if this happens the sim will run around and panic while the busted water main will create puddles and a huge mess and lower the environment score, the only way to stop the water from spraying is if the sim fills the hole in. Digging was reintroduced in ''[[The Sims 4]]'' and permitted Sims to dig up a variety of [[File:Sims 4 digging.png\|thumb\|A Sim digging in ''The Sims 4'']]metals, trophies, crystals, and fossils.<ref>http://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/collections/</ref> Unlike previous games, Sims do not dig in the ground with a shovel, but instead break particular rocks with a hammer and chisel to find collectibles. If a Sim finds a treasure map and keeps it in their inventory, they will gain the option to 'Dig for Treasure'. Digging for treasure will always result in the Sim finding a MySims trophy. Digging for collectibles is a key aspect of the Nature [[Aspiration (The Sims 4)\|aspiration]] 'The Curator', and Sims with this aspiration will often have [[whim]]s to do so. ==References== ~~Stray dogs or your sim's dog can also dig holes in the yard with the addition of ''[[The Sims 2: Pets]]''. They will lower the environment score. Sims or servants can fill in these holes.~~ {{Reflist}}[[Category:Interactions]] [[Category:Vacation]] [[Category:Bon Voyage]] [[Category:Ambitions]] [[Category:The Sims 4]]
