Puzzles

Puzzles and obstacles are new features introduced alongside traps in The Sims 3 World Adventures. these are devices and challenges a Sim will have to brave if he wishes to get into deeper (and more treasure-filled) parts of ruins. Different from traps, which are more inclined to maiming and general killing, puzzles are more about halting your progress until a Sim has high enough skills to cross them.

Rubble
One of the obstacles a Sim will find, a pile of rocks that can be destroyed after a Sim has equipped himself with one pickaxe, a dream of treasure and riches and perhaps more importantly, a high enough Athletic skill.
