Archaeology Kit 2.0.15 Release
Fixes:
Script errors in tags.py
Duplicated menus in some cases on terrain, dig piles and artifacts
Some historical books weren't increasing sim lore
Study for Historical Insights didn't always work correctly
This release also adds some translations I've received for the Archaeology Kit. If I've attributed any of these incorrectly, let me know!
I have some more bug reports to investigate, but since someone reported a script error, I wanted to release what I had with that fix.

I just recently discovered this mod and I'm so excited. I'm discovering all you put into it and it's so delightful! I am having a couple issues so maybe just need clarification. My 2 sims have developed their sim lore skill and archeology skill (one is level 10). When they go the museum they have been able to interact with the docents and even sell items to them. But any attempt to ask about museum exhibits and the interaction drops out and the docent walks away. So just a heads up to you about that. I also can't figure out how to get missions started, since I can't donate any item - only sell them. I read missions come after donating a rare item, but how do I donate? I've dug up about a dozen items from different worlds.
Hello, I think a lack of good documentation is the problem in both those cases, lol (I need to add more). When you ask the docents about the exhibits, they begin to give a tour, visiting the artifacts in the museum. This makes a 'Watch' interaction available on them, and will give you Archaeology and Sim Lore skills as they give the tour. I need to add a notification explaining this. This works sort of so-so. I can get archaeology skills faster by analyzing the artifacts myself, but this is one way to get some Sim Lore (the books are faster for that, though). To donate an artifact to qualify to get missions, you do it the same way as with the Jungle Adventure artifacts. You have to be on your home lot, and send a Rare artifact through the mail. This ends up seeming kind of dumb, when you're standing there at the museum already many times, so I mean to change that so that you can just hand it to the docent. I've been working on an update to add artifacts for some of the worlds that were added since the last update, and some new cultures to go with them, and that's when I'd add that artifact-donation change. Unless something breaks from a patch first, then I might add it then. Thanks for the feedback! This was one of the the first mods I released, and I still use it every game myself. :D If you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know!
This is (also) a lot of fun, but my Sim is getting messaging for authenticating (so far one fake, one real) but the items still show as unauthenticated in her inventory. Thanks!
I will look into that ASAP!
Question, does this conflict with Kuttoe's Front Desk Mod when it comes to the museum "Front Desk". I was already using Kuttoe's Front Desk to have a Sim recepotionist "at the front desk" in museums and libraries. But it's just an aesthetic thing, so happy to remove it if it conflicts.
There shouldn't be a problem. The museum docents don't need the front desk, they just use it if it's there. If there's already someone sitting in it, they'll find something else to do. :)
Hello! This is an independent Chinese - language localization effort（https://www.sglynp.com/t174627）. Your mod has truly won the hearts of the Chinese gaming community. We are extremely grateful to you for creating such a deep and engaging mod. It's nothing short of fantastic!
Thanks for the link to the article, too kind. I'm happy to have helped you, it's from the bottom of my heart.🌺
Thanks so much for this! Would you ever add heirloom compatibility to relics?
Believe it or not, it didn't occur to me until you suggested it just now! Excellent suggestion and I'll add that!
This is wonderful, thank you!
