This tuning override changes how digging works on rock piles so that Time Capsules no longer appear as a possible reward. Instead, Sims will need to find a Treasure Map and use the Dig for Treasure interaction to get those trophies and collectibles.
The mod keeps the normal chance of finding a Treasure Map intact, so the balance of discovery feels natural while clearing out the clutter of unwanted Time Capsules from regular rock and crystal digging. It also adjusts related tuning to stay compatible with newer game content, including Crystal Creations, Snowy Escape Lifestyles, and Royalty and Legacy.
It's ideal for players who use digging frequently for Science or Crystal-related gameplay and are frustrated by constantly pulling up Time Capsules instead of the materials they actually need.
