Mummy



The mummy is a new life state that was originally introduced in The Sims 2 (Nintendo DS), but makes its first major appearance in The Sims 3: World Adventures. Normally, mummies are NPCs but sleeping in a Cursed Sarcophagus of the Kings can turn a Sim into one. Mummies also groan a lot, and a mummy can only awaken if a Sim looks inside its sarcophagus, or is stealing treasure.

There is a bug that mummies appear as only a head showing no other parts like body legs or even arms.

Biology
Advantages

Mummies are very strong in comparison to normal Sims,( But sim bots can always beat up mummys) so Sims are normally outmatched by mummies unless they have a high Martial Arts skill level. A mummy can outlive normal Sims by a number of days. Also, Mummies do not have the energy or bladder needs.

Disadvantages

Mummies are covered in old, flammable rags. Thus if they catch fire, instead of the usual hour a Sim has before he turns into ashes, a mummy will die instantly. Because of the fast fire death, Mummy Sims will receive the 'Scared' Moodlet whenever they are in the same room as a lit fireplace, and will "quickly" move to put it out. Also, mummies are very slow, so a Sim can outrun a mummy if he can flee the ruin he is in. Unless mods are used, Mummies are not recolorable in Create a Sim, neither their rags, nor their loincloths and necklaces.

Mummy Sims are unable to get pregnant or impregnate other Sims.

Becoming a Mummy
A Sim is able to become a mummy by sleeping in a Cursed Sarcophagus of the Kings twice for a few hours - roughly, 24 hours in total. The first time they emerge, a message will appear to the player saying that the Sim is slightly closer to the mummy world somehow. The next time he/she sleeps, they will emerge as a full-blown mummy. Sleeping in the Cursed Sarcophagus has an advantage however, a Sim's Body skill increases while they sleep. Just don't sleep in it too much.

Sims as young as Teenagers can sleep in the Cursed Sarcophagus, and so can become Mummies.

To reverse the life state and become a normal Sim again, simply sleep in the Blessed Sarcophagus of the Kings for a day or so, and when the Sim emerges they will no longer be a mummy.

Both Sarcophagi can be "bought" in buy mode under the category with a question mark with the "buydebug" cheat on.

Or just buy The Kenspa and copy it, it will open up a cheat.

Owning a Mummy
Interestingly enough, players can add their very own mummy to their Sims' home! To do so, acquire all 5 pieces of the Sarcophagus of the Blessed Kings and construct it, have all 5 pieces of the Canopic Jars relic collection, click on the sarcophagus and "Summon Mummy". This will consume the jars but a mummy will emerge and be added to the household! Mummies can get jobs, gain skills, and even fall in love. Just remember to fire-proof the home!

A Sim that is a mummy won't be attacked by other mummies.

Fighting Mummies
An NPC mummy will normally be inside their sarcophagus resting. However, if a Sim looks inside the sarcophagus, they will rise and pick a fight with the Sim that is treasure hunting.

If the Sim happens to have a Mummy Snack in their inventory, the mummy will automatically remove it and return to their sarcophagus until they are disturbed again. A mummy can be defeated if a Sim has a very high, or mastered, Martial Arts skill, which can be trained in Shang Simla, China.

As mummies are vulnerable to fire, they can be tricked onto invisible fire traps, incinerating them.

If the Sim loses the match, they may become cursed.

The NPC mummy can't leave the room containing their sarcoghagus.

Mummy's Curse
A Sim is cursed when the mummy knocks them unconscious or breathes a dark foggy haze on the Sim. A message will appear warning the player of the curse.

There are five ways to cure this curse.

One way is the Sim must plead with the sphinx in Al Simhara, explore it completely, and use "cleanse" interaction on a special statue.

The second is to rebuild both King's Sarcophagi - Blessed and Cursed, sleep in the Cursed Sarcophagus first (turning the Sim into a mummy) and then in the Blessed Sarcophagus. This can be done in the Sim's home.

Another way is to buy a snake charming basket in Al Simhara. Cursed Sim can practice snake charming to unlock the option to upgrade to a King Cobra. Using the kiss from a King Cobra can cure Mummy's curse.

The fourth way is to get the moodlet manager lifetime happiness reward and click the mummy's curse moodlet

The fifth and the easiest way is to make sim meditate. The curse vanishes in few hours.

If the curse is not lifted within two weeks the Sim will pass away. Within the final days of these cursed weeks, a dark black haze will slowly surround the borders of the player's computer screen whenever the affected Sim is selected, as if the vision of the hapless victim is slowly clouding over.
