Default How Many Silver Shovels Does A Sim Need?
I have been playing The Sims Medieval + Pirates and Nobles game since 2011, the same year the Sims Medieval was released, and never, never, ever have in the many, many, many games I have played found more than 2 Silver Eye shovels.

I have read multiple times, that only two Silver Eye shovels exist in the game, for all these years. So I believed that, until yesterday.

I have acquired 3 Silver Eye shovels. The first and only time since 2011.
You see, I know a treasure digging trick, if you will, at knowing a great, or awesome spot to dig for treasure. (One I have mentioned on MTS) including pictures showing success of the treasure digging. The Graveyard is the location.

Anyhow, the Graveyard is usually the first place I have my first sim dig (MONARCH). Almost always he receives some fabulous item, and a good many times, he will get a Silver Eye shovel. So I dig there, and in this ambition I am playing now, which happens to be The Legendary (wait for it) Trait ambition, I have found a total of 3 Silver Eye shovels. Now I do not believe finding 3 Silver Eye shovels in this particular ambition has anything to do with finding 3 shovels, but I didn't want to leave this fact out in case it could.

IT DOES NOT REQUIRE BEING IN THE AMBITION MENTIONED ABOVE. I AM IN WEALTHY POPULOUS ambition now and it happened again.


Here below are three snapshots I took showing the 3 Silver Eye shovels in 3 of my sims' inventories:

(Look in the lower center at the time, so you will see the proof that 3 of these shovels do exist, and that it is in fact my 3 sims in the same quest.)



This below is Xylan Darksword, my monarch, and most handsome sim in the world:





This is my Peteran Priest Lagger Beer, who is asleep in the church. He has silver eye shovel 2:





This is Blade Bungle, my physician. I call him Doc Blade. He has silver eye shovel 3:







Hope y'all will one day acquire the 3 shovels. I am still kind of shocked that after all these years (15) they finally decided to reveal their 3rd eye, as it were. LOL


Here are pics showing there are 3 shovels (ambition Wealthy Populous):

The man in all blue is Qyall Quartz who found the 2nd silver eye shovel in this game and in the graveyard. Xylan dug there earlier but he got the Watcher's hammer instead, so he stopped. In the other two images, it shows Qyall filling in the first treasure hole Xylan dug because it was a different treasure than the silver eye from the old map, and he was still looking for the spot, which he is digging now in the images. One pic shows the old map in his inventory, and both Xylan, and Qyall are each using a silver eye shovel. 3 silver eye shovels!
