=== Simology ===
[[File:Mummy.png|thumb|200px|A mummy inside the Pyramid of the Burning Sands.]]
A playable mummy will be treated as an Elderelder by the game if it was summoned using canopic jars, though Sims who were transformed into mummies while sleeping in the Cursed Sarcophagus of the Kings will retain their original 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 won't ever get fought by other mummies, though). 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. If a [[Burglarburglar]] sees a mummy, they will immediately run off.
 
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.
 
To give an example of their longer lives, on the Normalnormal lifespan setting, they have more than 100 days before aging up from the Youngyoung Adultadult stage to the Adultadult life stage.
 
==== Disadvantages ====
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. Every time they get in contact with water, they get soaked, so theytheir will leaveleaving puddles around the house will be inevitable.
 
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.
 
Mummies are unable to be recolored without using mods.
 
UnlessAs mentioned before, unless mods are used, Mummymummified Sims are unable to get [[pregnant]] or impregnate other [[Sim]]sSims.
 
=== Becoming a Mummy ===
Line 49:
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.
 
=== OwningAdding a Mummy to the Household ===
InterestinglyAs enoughmentioned before, players can add their very own mummy to their Sims' home!. To do so, youthey will need to acquire all 5 pieces of any sarcophagus and, construct it and, complete the Canopic Jars [[relic]] collection, and put the 5 types of Canopic Jars in your Sim's inventory. ClickAfter they click on the sarcophagus and choose the option "Summonsummon Mummymummy"., Thisthe jars will consumebe the jarsconsumed, but a mummy will emerge and be added to the household! Mummies are elderly Sims and can get jobs, gain skills, and even fall in love. JustPlayers just have to 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 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]], China or in museums with martial art items, such as France.
 
As mummies are vulnerable to fire, they can be tricked onto hidden fire traps, incinerating them.
 
TheThough cheat-y, the most effective and "profitable" way is using the testingcheatsenabled + buydebugcheat. UsePlayers can enter that combinationcheat and [shift] + -click on the mummy, anthen select Delete"delete" thisunder the object. Orpanel, ifimmediately youdeleting wantthe amummy fastNPC andfrom easythe mummygame. destroyerAnother +way easyis relic,to edit the tomb (still usingwith the cheatssame combinationcheat still active), place thea fire trap under the mummy, (theand settingset must be fire because mummies are immuneit to the electricarmed trap,and usehidden [ctrl]option +using [control-shift] +-click on the trap to select the type). Don't forget to edit the doors to normal doors so it's easy to pass the room to room.!
 
Note: for that method, the recommended setting is the fire type-traps place under the mummy and "armed and hidden" state.
 
Some vampires wish to fight mummies, even if they have never met a mummy or been to Egypt.
 
=== Mummy's Curse ===
Line 72 ⟶ 66:
A Sim may be cursed when a mummy breathes a dark foggy haze on them during a fight. The Sim will not be cursed if the mummy merely knocks them unconscious. A message will appear warning the player of the curse.
 
There are nineeight legitimate ways to lift this curse. The affected Sim may:
 
# The Sim must pleadPlead with the sphinx in [[Al Simhara]], explore it completely, and use the "cleanse" interaction on a special statue.
# Rebuild the Blessed King's Sarcophagus. Sleepand sleep in the Blessed King's Sargophagusit, and the curse will be lifted. YouIt's canpossible alsofor a Sim to sleep in the Cursed Sarcophagus, first (turning the Simthem into a mummy), andthen thenimmediately in the Blessed Sarcophagus to turn them back. This can be done in the Sim'sany homelocation.

==== Consequences of the Curse ====
If the curse is not lifted within two weeks, the Sim will die. Within the final days of these cursedtwo weeks, a dark black haze will slowly surround the borders of the player's computer screen or game window whenever the affected Sim is selected, as if the vision of the hopeless 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.
Line 114 ⟶ 108:
* 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, butand like the ones in Twinbrook she can be interacted with, made playable, and brought back to life.
* IfEven if University Life is installed, mummies cannot go [[streak]]ing.
