A tomb is a special type of lot introduced in The Sims 3: World Adventures and The Sims 4: Jungle Adventure. They usually contain tomb objects that together act to make a puzzling adventure.

The Sims 3: World Adventures[edit | edit source]

In The Sims 3: World Adventures, a tomb is both a lot assignment in Edit Town and the Create a World tool.

Puzzles[edit | edit source]

For the walkthrough to complete the tombs, see here.

Tomb puzzles are defined by setting the tomb fogger object to 'final room' and giving the tomb a name. There can be multiple tombs on any kind of lot type, including residential lots.

Tombs are often underground labyrinths that hold puzzles, traps and treasure. Tombs can be found in Shang Simla, Al Simhara and Champs Les Sims.

Tombs can be a place of suspense and discovery. Unlike common buildings, unexplored areas of a tomb are often fogged out as Sims explore new tombs. Once a Sim enters/sees into an unexplored area, the fog of the room fades away, and a sound effect plays.

The following list is lots assigned as tombs in the sub-neighborhoods of The Sims 3: World Adventures expansion pack. This list does not include residential lots, art galleries, nectaries, or markets that contain tomb objects.

Types[edit | edit source]

There are two kinds of tomb lot assignments in Edit Town and Create a World, Tomb and Hidden Tomb. These assignments are locked from use outside of the The Sims 3: World Adventures sub-neighborhoods in-game. The tomb lot assignment generates a tomb map tag, and it attracts explorer NPCs. The lot assignment does not generate the moodlets players will see in tombs, these are instead generated by the tomb fogger tomb object.

Hidden Tomb[edit | edit source]

Hidden tombs (or hidden lots) are a new kind of community lot and lot assignment introduced in The Sims 3: World Adventures.

When a lot is tagged with this type they will not generate a map tag and so will be largely indistinguishable from other the surrounding terrain unless inspected closely. Although introduced in World Adventures, this lot type functions in the base game without the expansion pack if it is set through the Create-A-World tool. Hidden Tombs do not have to be a tomb—they can be decorative, or a secret lot containing rare and usually inaccessible items. NPCs and townies will not try to route to hidden lots. There are many lots designated as Hidden Tombs throughout the subhoods of Shang Simla, Champs Les Sims, and Al Simhara.

Al Simhara tomb lots[edit | edit source]

Abu Simbel[edit | edit source]

Abu Simbel

Abu Simbel in Al Simhara.

The exterior of Abu Simbel in The Sims 3 World Adventures is based on the real life Abu Simbel in Egypt.

Abu Simbel is a memorial by King Ramses II for his wife Nefertari. Its name also contains the word "Sim", making it a pun.

The Great Pyramid[edit | edit source]

The Great Pyramid

The Great Pyramid in Al Simhara.

One of the largest tombs in The Sims 3: World Adventures. Located in Al Simhara, it has many mummies, and usually takes several days to navigate through. The Great Pyramid is based on the real life Great Pyramid in Egypt.

The Great Sphinx[edit | edit source]

The Great Sphinx

The Great Sphinx in Al Simhara.

This Sphinx is based on the real Egyptian Sphinx. This is the location of the soulpeace statue that serves as one of the main ways to cure the mummy's curse from a sim. In order to cure the curse, the sim must walk in front of the Sphinx, plead with it, revealing the entrance. The sim must then explore the tomb entirely until they reach the soulpeace statue. Then they must then use the "Cleanse" interaction on the statue, curing the curse from the afflicted sim.

Pyramid of the Burning Sands[edit | edit source]

Pyramid of the Burning Sands

Pyramid of the Burning Sands in Al Simhara.

Placed beside the great pyramid and the center of the fire quest. There are a ton of Flame Fruits to harvest here. The first part of the pyramid you don't need to explore without a key stone. There's a rather nice treasure room in this pyramid, with 6 chests and a sarcophagus where there is a hot spot for an encounter of a mummy! It is based on the Pyramid of Khufu.

Pyramid of the Sky[edit | edit source]

Pyramid of the Sky

Pyramid of the Sky in Al Simhara.

There's a harvestable life plant, death flower, money trees and a Sigil of the Tomb of the Desert Ocean to be found here. There is also a canopic jar here as well. Be sure to check for four hidden doors in the last chamber to find a shortcut out as well as some additional treasure.

Pyramid of the Wind[edit | edit source]

Pyramid of the Wind

Pyramid of the Sky in Al Simhara.

This is the smallest pyramid which is able to be explored. This is a quick adventure with treasure and one sarcophagus. There is a chance of a mummy encounter. There's no more to it than there seems to be in this little pyramid. The location of the pyramid seems to be based on the Pyramid of Menkaure.

Ruins of Karnak[edit | edit source]

Ruins of Karnak

Ruins of Karnak in Al Simhara.

The ruin of Karnak is a real life temple in Egypt and is one of the most photographed sites of Ancient Egypt.

This tomb has only one room. It contains an assortment of bugs (for example ladybug), a chest containing a Sarcophagus of the Kings Fragment, a tomb hole containing an oval cut alabaster with a value of §61 and around 12 ancient coins on the floor beside the stairs.

Forgotten Burial Mound[edit | edit source]

Forgotten Burial Mound

The Forgotten Burial Mound in Champs Les Sims.

The Forgotten Burial Mound features a number of small tomb puzzles, and is central to some adventures in Champs Les Sims. It seems to be a Gallic burial mound with stone circles above the mound, at the end of the tomb graves can be found with treasure. Behind the mound there is a boulder that can be destroyed with Pangu's Axe, which will lead to a separate area inspired by the original Legend of Zelda game. This area was designed by Ray Mazza.[1] It is usually the first tomb most players will get to explore when they first come to Champs Les Sims.

Chateau du Landgraab[edit | edit source]

Chateau du Landgraab

The Chateau du Landgraab in Champs Les Sims.

The Chateau du Landgraab is the primary tomb lot in Champs Les Sims. It used to be inhabited by the famous Admiral Landgraab, and possibly other Sims as well because it has several bedrooms and a nursery. It includes two double-bed bedrooms, a bedroom with two single beds, a baby room, a private study, private library, kitchen, several bathrooms, and many relics and treasure chests. Because Landgraab was a worrywart and obsessed with military code, the place is dotted with traps.

Champs Les Sims Nectary[edit | edit source]

Champs Les Sims Nectary

The Champs Les Sims Nectary in Champs Les Sims.

The Champs Les Sims Nectary tomb is entered through a secret passage in the basement underneath the nectary, which is not marked as a tomb room. It is one of, if not the, largest tombs in World Adventures which not only contains many ancient nectar treasures, but also Egyptian-based treasures, as well. This semi-hidden tomb contains two mummies which are said to be a king and queen of Egypt, "sipping on nectar till the eve [they] die." There are several puzzles in this tomb, but none of them very difficult. Several traps guard certain treasures, but the majority of them can be disabled by solving puzzles and following directions given by plaques on walls.


The Little Island[edit | edit source]

The Little Island

The Little Island in Champs Les Sims.

The Little Island is a hidden tomb that is on an island in the middle of Champs Les Sims river. Originally, it can be accessed through the hidden frog pond across the river or by using zenoportation. The little island is the exit to the Tuatha's Garden tomb adventure. Inside the tomb, there's a large tomb puzzle leading to money trees and relics. As of Patch 42, Sims can swim directly to the island across the river, or with Island Paradise, Sims can just take a boat. And also, with Into the Future, Sims can use jetpack to fly there.

The Hot Springs and Abandoned Barn are not tomb lots, they are tombs built on park lots.

The Dragon's Maw[edit | edit source]

The Dragon's Maw

The Dragon's Maw in Shang Simla.

Since it first appeared in promotional material, The Dragon's Maw has been one of the most intriguing lots in The Sims 3: World Adventures.

It contains a tomb, entered through the mouth, and is the centre of several adventures.

Dragon Springs[edit | edit source]
