== The Sims 3: World Adventures ==
In many ways, Mummies in ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]'' resemble [[zombie]]s from ''[[The Sims 2]]''. Normally, mummies are [[NPC]]s, though playable mummies can be summoned from canopic jars or a regular Sim can be turned into a playable Mummy by sleeping in the [[Sarcophagus|Cursed Sarcophagus of the Kings]]. In ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'', Sims can mix or buy the Bottled Mummy's Curse to turn either themselves or another Sim into a mummy.
=== Simology ===
A player controlled mummy will be Elderly if it was summoned using canopic jars, while Sims who were transformed into mummies while sleeping in the Cursed Sarcophogas of the Kings will retain their age. Mummies enjoy longer lives than normal Sims and do not have the [[energy]] or [[bladder]] needs. Mummies are much stronger than a normal Sim; they're able to fend off the attack of the zombie bear when exploring the catacombs at the graveyard, and have a better chance of winning a fight. They're also immune to electricity; whether they get shocked by an electric trap or while upgrading an item, they suffer no harm, which makes them excellent repairmen.▼

The gender of a mummy is shown on the personality page. However, they are unable to reproduce. Mummies also have several special conversation topics. Outside of these differences, a mummy can be controlled like any normal Sim.

Mummies are the slowest life state, and thus will limp from location to location.<ref name="Life state speed comparison" >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnPy03DLg64</ref> Often, this can lead to mummified [[Sim]]s missing work or failing time-based events, but this disadvantage can be partially bypassed with the [[hoverboard]] or [[Fairy]] Dust.
Mummies are also covered in old, flammable rags. Thus, the 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. Catching fire can be avoided by either getting a Sim to take Fireproof Homestead ([[The Sims 3: Ambitions|Ambitions]]) as a Lifetime Reward or getting soaked in showers and diving wells.
When non-mummy Sims (including [[SimBots]]) see a mummy, they will interrupt what they were doing (the whole action queue) and get scared/excited (depending on personality and traits), much like Sims' reactions to [[Bonehilda]]. They won't be able to get back to do what they were doing by themselves

They won't be able to get back to do what they were doing by themselves. Sims with the Brave trait do not get scared or excited by Mummies.
Mummies are unable to be recolored without using mods.
=== 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 hinting at the cursed powers of the sarcophagus affecting the Sim. The next time that Sim sleeps in the sarcophagus, they will emerge as a full-blown mummy. Sleeping in the Cursed Sarcophagus has an advantage however; a Sim's [[
To reverse the mummy state and become a normal Sim again, simply have a mummy sleep in the Blessed Sarcophagus of the Kings for a day or so, or get a snake from a snake charming basket to kiss you by playing for a long time after you buy a cobra. 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" [[List of The Sims 3 cheats|cheat]] on.

Line 38 ⟶ 47:
Ghost Sims can also become mummies. Other Sims will react to a ghost Sim who has been mummified as if that Sim was a mummy, rather than react to them being a ghost. Being a ghost and a mummy, does not, however, make the Sim fireproof. When a mummy ghost catches on fire from a fireplace or fire pit, they remain on fire. Since ghosts cannot die, they will stand in place pointlessly trying to put themselves out, until another Sim puts them out, they jump in a well or use a [[Shower in a Can]], or the player uses cheats to put out the fire.
In ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'', Sims can mix or buy the Bottled Mummy's Curse to turn either themselves or another Sim into a mummy.
=== Adding a Mummy to the Household ===
=== Fighting Mummies ===▼
▲==Fighting Mummies==
An NPC mummy will normally be inside their sarcophagus resting. However, if a Sim looks inside the sarcophagus or steals a treasure in the mummy's chamber, they will awaken and pick a fight with the Sim that is treasure hunting. If the Sim loses the fight, they may become cursed. However, a fight can be avoided by simply leaving the room where the mummy's sarcophagus is, as the mummy is unable to leave the room.
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 sufficient Athletics and Martial Arts skill, which can be trained in [[Shang Simla]],
As mummies are vulnerable to fire, they can be tricked onto hidden fire traps, incinerating them.
=== Mummy's Curse ===▼
{{See also|Game guide:Curing the Mummy's curse}}
[[File:Sims3worldadventures2-1-.jpg|thumb|200px|A Sim being cursed by a mummy]]
A Sim
There are eight legitimate ways to lift this curse. The affected Sim may:
▲==Mummy's Curse==
# Meditate (an action unlocked at level 5 of the [[Martial arts|martial arts skill]]). This makes the curse (along with other negative moodlets) vanish in a few hours.
# If ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions|Ambitions]]'' is installed; use a time machine and travel to the past. It's possible for a notification to pop up saying, "<Sim> was deep in the past and accidentally got the inventor in trouble with the pharaoh of Egypt! He was fired and mummies were never invented. <Sim> is cured!" curing the curse instantly.
# If ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural|Supernatural]]'' is installed; have a witch cast a sunlight charm on them, vanishing the curse in the same way method 5 does so.
# If ''[[The Sims 3: Pets|Pets]]'' is installed; have a unicorn bless them. This is only possible if the Sim has befriended the unicorn.
The player can also resort to using the testingcheatsenabled cheat and shift-clicking on the moodlet, removing it and its effects. This method can also be used to rid of any other pesky moodlets the player doesn't want their Sim to have. A more drastic way to do this is shift-click on the household's mailbox and click the option "Make All Happy", which removes all negative moodlets and maximizes the motives for all Sims in the household.
▲A Sim is cursed when the mummy breathes a dark foggy haze on the Sim. The Sim does not get cursed if the mummy just knocks them unconscious. A message will appear warning the player of the curse.[[File:Sims3worldadventures2-1-.jpg|thumb|270px|A Sim being cursed by a mummy]]
==== Consequences of the Curse ====
If the curse is not lifted within two weeks, the Sim will
▲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.
▲If the curse is not lifted within two weeks the Sim will [[Death#The Sims 3|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. Three hours before the cursed Sim dies, a mummy face appears on the screen and fades in and out. As time passes the face becomes blurry.
The victim of a mummy's curse will have a black, smoldering hue as a ghost. In addition, one of his or her traits will be replaced with the [[Evil]] trait, noticeable when a ghost is revived through the Science Laboratory.
== The Sims Freeplay ==
Mummies appear as NPCs in ''The Sims FreePlay'' in the quest The Book Of Spells. Three female mummies wander around the park, and they are completely harmless. They look like a normal Sim, except they have gray skin, stitched looking mouths, a scratch on their chest, and bandages covering most of their body. Sims cannot become mummies.

==Notes==
* When a Sim attempts to summon a mummy, there is a potential glitch that may leave the Sim stuck in front of the sarcophagus waiting for the mummy to emerge. This will occur if the Sim in question has completed the Canopic Jars relic collection and has more than one of each type of jar in the set in their inventory. To avoid this glitch, ensure that your Sim is only carrying one jar of each type before summoning a mummy.
* In ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions|Ambitions]]'', Twinbrook has two Sims ([[Timmy DeBleu]] and [[Tina-Patricia Copper]]) who died of the Mummy's Curse. Even without World Adventures installed, the player can see the ghosts, interact with them, and resurrect them.
* Moonlight Falls also features a [[Alexa Burt|Sim]] who died from the Mummy's Curse, and like the ones in Twinbrook she can be interacted with, made playable, and brought back to life.
* Even if University Life is installed, mummies cannot go [[streak]]ing.
