A dig site is a type of spawner that produces buried rare relics in The Sims 3: World Adventures, The Sims 3: Into the Future, and The Sims 4: Jungle Adventure, and relatively more common items in The Sims 3: Pets.

There are several kinds of dig sites, and each provides relics unique to a specific location, or otherwise specific in kind. For example, the dig sites in Shang Simla will only yield Chinese relics. However some dig sites only yield fragments.
Players can place dig site spawners on lots using the "testingcheatsenabled 1" → "buydebug" cheats. The known ones are:
- Digsite Spawner - Generic
- Digsite Spawner - China (Low)
- Digsite Spawner - China (Medium)
- Digsite Spawner - China (High)
- Digsite Spawner - Egypt (Low)
- Digsite Spawner - Egypt (Medium)
- Digsite Spawner - Egypt (High)
- Digsite Spawner - France (Low)
- Digsite Spawner - France (Medium)
- Digsite Spawner - France (High)
- Digsite Spawner - Fragments
A standalone immediate dig site is available in the game's code as digSiteGeneric. An additional 4 spawners are also in the code, though they don't seem to work properly according to the game mods NRaas Debug Enabler and Error Trap:
- Digsite Spawner 12
- Digsite Spawner 13
- Digsite Spawner 14
- Digsite Spawner 15
Dig sites can be placed on non-lot terrain in Create a World. With lifetime rewards like "Learned Relic Hunter" and the Tear of Horus, dig sites can be easily spotted for excavating collectibles relics.
Bug

Reason: Does this remain the case as of Patch 67?
Please improve this article if you can.
If you have Ambitions and Patch 12 installed, you will be unable to dig at a dig site if it's on a slope.

Dog-specific dig sites are often found throughout the main worlds. Only dogs can interact with them; for households without dogs, they can become a nuisance.

The Sims 4: Jungle Adventure
While vacationing in Selvadorada, Sims may encounter various dig sites. Sims can "Excavate" at these sites and find items such as unauthenticated artifacts, fossil rocks, artifact-shaped dirt clumps, and ancient bone dust. A standard dig site can only be used by a Sim once before disappearing and will give the Sim just one item, but a new dig site will respawn in the same location the next day. Excavating at these sites will increase a Sim's archaeology skill over time. At archaeology skill level 6, Sims unlock the ability to establish excavation sites. Excavation sites yield more items than a standard dig site, and allow for up to four Sims to dig at once. Players can place a dig site down on a lot by using the testingcheats true and bb.showhiddenobjects cheats.
