Anti Vacation Actions: Death to all Nesses
J. M. Pescado:
You can get maps for any place you don't have a map for if digging on a non-vacation lot for sure, and I'm not sure the rules change even on a vacation lot.

Apparently, they don't. From what I have seen, you can find all three maps on the same vacation lot, and it doesn't even matter if you have a certain map already. I remember deleting three "Burrow" maps from my sim's inventory after returning from Twikkii island, because a fourth was already hanging on her wall. Secret lots, my ass. It's more like someone handed out leaflets with directions.

That's good to know, 'cos I only get rocks and bones out of any of my sims' back yards. I only get maps in holiday hoods so far, and only maps to secret locations in other holiday areas (i.e. if I'm on Twikkii, the maps will be either for Three Lakes or Far East).
When I had sims dig in the vacation hoods, they always got maps for the hood they were in. I had a sim dig for grins on his home lot (in Strangetown), and he got a map for the island secret place on the first try. Then just rocks after that.
Last night I had two uni students do the dig thing at a dorm; one just came up with rocks and bones, but the other got a treasure chest with $5k in it on the third or fourth try (and rocks and bones on the rest :) ).
I quit digging with my first sim in Queen's Cove, Lilly, due to the fact that she must have been touched by Midas. I rarely saw a bone or rock with her. It was all sculptures and, at the point when I quit the digging, a total of six treasure chests in just over a week of digging, 2-4 hours each day.
As for learning the dances and tai chi...I had to cheat and select a local and make them do it. The only one I saw done autonomously was the hula, and apparently I didn't have my sim follow along long enough for it to stick.
About the hack, it's working well on vacation lots, but the greetings and dances are still viral in the main 'hood. Basically everyone at the public beach does the slap dance about as much as the smustle. Bows and chest pounds all over the place (they don't seem to care about the hang loose sign as much). I'm surprised they haven't started telling the dragon legend to each other...Logan has an almost daily want to tell it that I frequently indulge, and the beachgoers flock to him to listen. It's cute...little session of tai chi, then everyone settle down for a story by the campfire.

I love it! Thanks Zaza. This has suddenly re-sparked my interest in sending sims on holiday (I got bored with the "stand around on comm lots watching these idiots build sandcastles" thing). Must get a dragon legend teller in my hood! Time to send the Wagners on an East Asian vacation, methinks.
Arrr! (concession to Pirate Day).

They need the roll thing (parchemin in french, the english word escapes me right now) in their inventory to be able to tell the dragon legend, so it cannot become "viral" like the greetings or the dances...
