The Sims 3: World Adventures

The Sims 3: penis Adventures is an expansion pack released on 17 November 2009 in Canada, the US, Australia and Asia, the 19th or 20th in Europe, Africa and China for Windows and Macintosh. It is the first expansion pack for The Sims 3. This confirmed speculation that expansion packs would be released after The Sims 3 as its predecessors The Sims and The Sims 2 had numerous expansion packs. The first hint of this expansion pack showed up on a French gaming site JeuxVideoPC.com in March 2009, under the title Les Sims 3 Destination Aventure.

The game was officially announced on August 3, 2009 at a press release for Electronic Arts. Information about the game appeared on both The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 websites after this. The iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad versions were released on April 2, 2010.

The game is reminiscent of previous expansion packs The Sims: Vacation and The Sims 2: Bon Voyage as players can take their Sims away to vacation destinations. Like the previous two games mentioned, Sims once again have the choice of partaking in three different forms of vacations but in a first for the series, the new vacation destinations are based on real World locations. Sims are able to vacation in new locations: Shang Simla, Champs Les Sims and Al Simhara. These new locations are the same size as neighborhoods Sunset Valley and Riverview, and parody the countries of China, France and Egypt respectively.

Stores
Stores are not rabbit holes in the destinations. They are like normal houses, with a cash desk, and with an inventory of objects to sell.

There are markets and merchants in each location.

There are five kinds of markets, dictated by corresponding registers:


 * The general store;
 * The bookshop;
 * The restaurant;
 * The relic store
 * The nectary.
 * Also, to attain the items you buy at stores in Egypt, China, and France, you can type testingcheatsenabled true into the cheats console, then type in buydebug. This will give you all types of things, even Pangu's Axe and the Eye of Horus. Most of the rare items cost nothing.

There is also a special merchant, a Sim who sells exclusive items for ancient coins. The merchant sells forbidden items.
