Saving the best for last, LadyM is finishing off her reports with a preview of The Sims 3 World Adventures. Like many before her, she was able to check out Chaz McDanger in action exploring the tombs of Egypt!
There is a fog of exploration and you can’t see the entire map until it’s explored. Some parts of the map have traps so you have to figure out how to get through them. Ours was a fire trap. Once he caught on fire he jumped in a pool of water and put himself out. Once wet, he could walk through the fire to the other side. Along the way he collected reward objects and at some points could not progress further because he needed a tool found in China, a good incentive to go visit the other parts of the world. Our demo ended with our Sim opening a tomb and releasing a mummy. The mummy’s are the new special creature and Sims can be turned into one or be created as one. The mummy placed a curse on McDanger and he had 14 days to remove the curse or die some sort of horrible death. How exciting is that?
