Pirate Treasure Mod Preview

Pirate Treasure is my take on treasure maps and buried treasure chests. Because beachcombing isn't quite lucrative enough.
I started getting the idea for this mod while I was working on the Archaeology Kit. I thought that the Treasure Maps built into the game were a neat idea, but the implementation is kind of underwhelming (if you have one with you when you dig up a dirt pile, you get an extra MySims doll or something, idk). I also wished that buried treasure chests had been a thing in Island Living. There is buried and sunken treasure, and there is a cool sunken treasure chest object, but the two aren't connected in any way in the game.
WHAT THIS MOD DOES
It adds a new type of treasure map, named 'Pirate Treasure Map', that is labeled with a location that refers to a specific Base Game or Island Living neighborhood. If you travel to that neighborhood, then click on the appropriate Pirate Treasure Map in your inventory, your Sim will search for and find a dirt pile to dig up and find a Pirate Treasure chest.
Opening the chest will give your Sim three or more Sulani treasure items, as well other potential bonuses if they have the Collector or Treasure Hunter trait.
HOW TO FIND A PIRATE TREASURE MAP
You can find a pirate treasure map by digging up random dirt or sand piles (anywhere), diving for treasure in the ocean in Sulani (you can also find a sunken treasure chest this way), or exploring the cave near Mua Pel'am in Sulani. Also, pirate treasure chests that you find and open may have another pirate treasure map inside them. You can also buy the maps in build/buy mode.
HOW TO FIND THE TREASURE FOR A MAP
Each pirate treasure map is labeled in the tooltip with a Location label that indicates where the treasure can be found. This location will be a specific Base Game or Island Living neighborhood.
To find the treasure, you go to any lot in the neighborhood indicated on the map, click on the map in your inventory and select Find Pirate Treasure. NOTE: Your sim will need to be outside in order to do this.
Your Sim will look around for a moment, then a dirt pile will appear and your Sim will walk over to it. You can then dig up the dirt pile to find the treasure chest. Open it, and your Sim will receive the treasure inside.
What is a neighborhood?
In case you haven't noticed it before, each cluster of lots in each region is labeled with a neighborhood name. You can view them by clicking on the little neighborhood icons on the map. You can walk between each of the lots in a neighborhood, such as within Willow Creek's Foundry Cove or San Myshuno's Spice District, but you cannot walk between different neighborhoods. This mod uses references to all 19 Base Game plus Island Living neighborhoods, including the parks and hidden lots, as locations for buried treasure.
