New details on the first expansion pack are incoming right now, thanks to GameSpot’s preview on The Sims 3 World Adventures! The coolest detail of them all? Mummies! That’s right, Mummies will be introduced in the game, attacking our Sims if they get close to their precious relics and potientally turning them into mummies as well! Not only that, we also are provided with a few new pictures. Have a look below.
As for the facts, here’s what I’ve compiled from their writeup in an easy to read list:
- Only 3 locations will be available (Egypt, China and France) but they are huge!
- You can either travel by purchasing a plane ticket or thru your career
- Contains a mini-storyline. Greedy corporation wants to bulldoze these locations thus setting traps, you can either side with the company or the community to save them. This gives the game a roleplaying game feeling.
- Use your journal to keep track of relics, puzzles, areas you visited, achievements and view how many ‘visa’ points your Sim has left – which determines how long they can visit (well, for everything else there’s Mastercard 😛 )
- Tomb has many traps, skills will help pass these.
- Mummies are introduced. If your Sim gets into a battle with a mummy and your sim lacks the ‘Martial Arts’ skill (new to Adventures), your sim will come down with the ‘Mummy’s Curse’. This will kill your Sim within 2 weeks unless you visit the Spinx and plead your case. Not only that, but Sims can become mummies by spending a night in a sarcophagus. You will then move much slower and die if your sim sets on fire. Benefits are that your strength increases and your needs become limited. Cool thing is…if you die – you turn into a ghost mummy. That’s a first 😛
- Marry and bring home sims from the ‘Adventure’ locations
- 3 new skills: Martial Arts which is learned in China, Photography, and Nectar Making which originates in France. 3 new traits are also added.
Some cool stuff there… maybe it really will be worth $40…
LOL, I almost got myself there.
mummies cool.look reallyu ugly lol but better thatn sasquatch
Mummies, pretty easy to predict actually. I like the green rock though! They’re doing a fine job if they’re trying to impress me, ha ha!
*laughing at self*
Ha ha, a Mastercard! Ghost Mummy? That must be cool, I’m gonna have one of those to make a nectar and learn the martial arts, and then try and give it the flaming fruit and see if it catches on fire!
:p
OMG playable mummies 😀
I feel the skills and traits will be so cool
Wow, this is super cool! I can’t wait for all these new features. I figured mummies would be the creature for this EP and that’s cool. What else would it have been? It goes very well with the EP. I especially can’t wait to try out the new photography skill.
yea me too coz I learned photography,so I want to let my sim learn it too lol
wow i’d like to see a ghost mummy….
….which just made me realize….i haven’t gotten any of my sims killed/death by natural causes yet…..does that make me weird?…..
i’ve been too busy makin sims have a bagillion babies.
After reading this it seemed REALLY cool. I was hoping they’d add traits in their expansions! 😀 But then I scroll down… and I see… 40 dollars!? That totally killed it for me.
I noticed more people are impressed by this EP, even ones who never cared for the Sims to begin with. It seems as if this EP is attracting more of the pro-“manly” games as well. Especially because it now incorporates an RPG style.
i like sol
i love this! lol i have played all the sims games and own about them all…i wanted to make my sim be a mummy,and a mummy fought her and won, but my person only got knocked out, they didnt turn into a mummy, 🙁 …they have no martial arts skills and im p.o cause they didnt turn into one…is there some time limit b4 they become 1 or something??
