World Adventures Walkthrough

HI EVERYONE!

2010-12-10T11:45:00.000-08:00

Hey everybody! It's been almost a year since I created this walkthough, and I would just like to thank all of you for your comments, your input, and your continued support. This page has grown in popularity so much in the past few months, that when you Google search "World Adventures Walkthrough" it is the first result! Also, blogspot has added a new feature to the dashboard which allows me to view the statistics of my page. I am averaging about 15,000 hits a month! Alot of you have been asking if I will be doing any other walkthoughs for other expansion packs, or other games. As of right now I am addicted to WoW and with the recent release of the much anticipated Cataclysm expansion, and I haven't been able to tear myself away to play The Sims. However, if enough of you comment on this entery asking me to do another Sims 3 expansion, I will start on that :D

Happy Simming, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year

Abu Simbel

2010-01-09T15:44:00.001-08:00

This is one of the trickiest tombs I have done. If you mess up and do something out of order, you will either have to zenport or use testingcheatsenabled true cheat to teleport yourself out of a trap. The tomb has many plaques for you to read that will give you hints on how to solve the tomb.

Secret garden

2010-01-04T11:40:00.000-08:00

I previously thought this was the mission everyone on the forums was calling the "mysterious noises" mission because the owner of the house complained of hearing noises from his basement. This was a mistake on my part, since I have now completed the mission that is actually telling me to find the source of the noises. I am sorry for any confusion this caused.

Chateau du Landgraab (Dragon Temple keystone mission)

2010-01-01T16:12:00.001-08:00

This was probably the hardest mission I have done so far. The prima guide didn't help at all, and it seemed like everyone was stuck on this as well when I looked on the forums. I wandered through this house for probably close to two hours before I realized what I had to do, and it was so simple I facepalmed. I have decided I will only show the direct route you will use to complete this mission, and not show you every room of the house I wandered through. This is because a majority of the rooms have nothing in them, I only got into those rooms with zenporting (which you do not need in this mission after all), and they have nothing to do with this mission.

Mission: Locate the keystone in Chateau du Landgraab in France needed to explore the rest of the Dragon Temple in China.

Examine the hole in the ground.

It disarms the traps.

Go through the door on the left.

Watch out for these traps here. Go through the double doors.

Go up the stairs to the 3rd floor.

Put the keystone in the slot.

Don't take the statue off the display!! The electric traps will be activated. You can take the treasure off the left display though.

If you did take the statue, put it back by clicking the display and then finding the statue in your inventory. This will deactivate the traps.
*I have been informed via comment, that you can place anything from your inventory onto the display to deactivate the traps*

Collect the treasure off the bedside table.

Continue through the bathroom...

Walking into this room will activate the hidden door to appear.

Go down the stairs to the basement.

Watch out for the fire trap on the wall to the right.

Go through the door to the left.

You can explore the other rooms if you want to.

You can harvest some of the grape vines.

Grab the keystone from the glowing chest, and the keystone off the table.

Go through the door at the end of the hall, and the hidden door will activate.

Another hidden door here.

Collect the treasure. You can now travel back to China to complete the mission.

France!

2010-01-01T00:44:00.000-08:00

Arthur got a mission in China, and has been sent to France to complete it. After I complete this mission for the local in China, Arthur will be moving on to France! Oh la la!

Getting Cursed

2010-01-01T00:24:00.000-08:00

A simmer on my thread requested I do a post explaining how to get cursed. My response:

Sadly, Arthur has a very slim chance of ever being cursed again. His martial arts and body skill are so high, he will almost always defeat mummies. The higher your martial arts and body skills are, the smaller your chance of losing a fight with a mummy and getting cursed are.

However if your sim does not have these skills, there is an area in the sphinx that has 3 black pools and 1 purple one. Explore all the black ones, and each will awaken a mummy. Although losing a fight doesn't always mean you get cursed (Arthur has fought 2 mummies now and not gotten cursed), I have a feeling you have a good chance of becoming cursed in one of the fights you will have with these mummies.

Finally, if you cannot get cursed, this adventure is just this one mission. Completing it will not set off a chain of other adventures like some of the others do.

Hope that helps. :]

Update: I have been reading the forums, and my theory about having a high martial arts skill is relatively true. However, one or two simmers reported if you change your sims traits to something along the lines of coward, unlucky, loser, things like that, even a sim with a level 10 martial arts skill may sometimes lose a fight. Also reported by one simmer, her level 10 martial artist sim was very tired (her energy bar was in the red) when she fought a mummy, lost, and got cursed.

*credit goes to zoop526 and royalplumbob for these observations.*

*Walden95 has reported that his sim had a level 10 body and martial arts skill. He experimented and found his sim lost 5 out of 50 battles, and was only cursed once. This means that your sim has about 10% chance of losing, and only about a 2% chance of getting cursed. His sim also had full energy for each fight, and no negative traits.*

Furthermore, getting cursed will NOT turn you into a mummy. It WILL kill your sim in 14 days. To make your sim a mummy, you will have to collect fragments of the Sarcophagus of the Kings and then reconstruct it. You have a chance of building either a Blessed (which is gold), or a Cursed (which is black) sarcophagus. If you don't want to go around collecting fragments, you can use the cheat by pressing ctrl+shift+c and entering testingcheatsenabled true into the cheat box, then pressing ctrl+shift+c and then entering buydebug into the cheat box. Find it under the buy mode category with an icon that is a question mark. I believe it costs a whopping 1 dollar. Sleep in the cursed sarcophagus for 3 nights to become a mummy. However, other than never having to go to the bathroom or running out of energy, being a mummy isn't all that great from what I have read. They grunt all the time, and they are extremely slow walkers.

Temple of Heaven-Annex of the Resolute Fist

2009-12-31T23:17:00.000-08:00

Misson: The order of the Resolute Fist needs your help finding a relic. Head to the Temple of Heaven to find it.

Collect the treasures.

Put the keystone in the slot.

Dive back into the pool.
*At this point in the mission you will need to report in. After completing the various missions they give you, you will receive a keystone that goes in this next slot.

Put the keystone in the slot.

Continue through the hall.

To make this room work, move the statues on the right side so they mirror the statues on the left side. To make it a little easier on you, if you just pull the three statues out, moving the third one will activate a hole in the wall to appear. When you examine it the 3 floor switches will appear and you can then move the statues onto them. Anyway, here is what I did to move the statues...

Examine the hole.

The statues on the floor switches will unlock this door...

Examine the hole in the wall.

Down the stairs... Collect the treasure in the chest to activate the floor switches.

Push the statues onto the floor switches.

The statues unlock this door.

This is probably the most tedious set of corridors this game has dealt to me yet. There are no traps or anything, just way too many halls to walk down.

Alright we made it to the door...

Collect the treasures in the chests, and then report in.

China!

Ahhh.. China. It is too beautiful here. :]

Remember to get your martial arts skill up to at least level five so you can complete some of the missions faster.... and so you don't look like this. o.O

For the China adventures I decided I will only do walkthroughs for the actual tombs, not for all the little missions in between. I had way too many snapshots cluttering up the folder. I cleaned the old pictures out, and I thought it wasn't really necessary to show you pictures of me doing all the other missions I know you have brains to do by yourselves. Besides, the tombs are what cause all the trouble anyway. :]
