I'm pausing the Patron billing coming up tomorrow, since I didn't drop anything new for you in February. I did a fair amount of work on some things that I hope to get to you in March.
Reminder again: I need your help in testing more than I need the money from Patreon. I'm hoping that you will help me out with that once I get some releases tidied up and ready to go.

The news for patch 1.84.171 released today is that there is no news, as far as my mods are concerned.
Nothing seems to be broken, dig piles work, custom spells work, the broomba flies around, the cafeteria worker shows up for work, and you can still poop in the bucket. So far, so good.
In other news, working really hard on the Archaeology Kit update. It's taken so long, ...

Archaeology Kit Progress Update
I've been adding a lot of new features this last month (and have been a bit too quiet here), so here's a preview of what's coming up.
New Skill: Sim Lore
Sim Lore is to the Archaeology Kit mod what Selvadoradian culture skill is to Jungle Adventure. It serves as a knowledge of history, and higher skill allows your sim to authenticate somewhat faster.

Here's an update after today's Sims 4 Patch 177.131. Fixes the issues with dig piles and dirt clumps failing to deliver any items, as well as some tuning updates to match new game definitions.

It looks like the Sims 4 patch today broke parts of the Archaeology Kit. "Broken" meaning dig piles no longer deliver dirt clumps, and dirt clumps no longer deliver artifacts.
I already installed the patch and extracted the new game tuning, and I can see what changed. As soon as I wrap an empty <U> tag to around 150 "object_rewards" blocks in the Mod's tuning, I'll make an update av...
