Tomb

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

Tombs include:

Ancient Coins

Ancient coins is the only currency special mechants trades his/her goods for. When picked up, you will be noted how many ancient coins your Sim found. On the floor, there are four sizes of ancient coin stashes.

Relics

The main reason why the treasure thirsty Sims explore tombs. After the relics are collected, your Sim can analyze its exact worth, rather than selling it from thoughts. If the relic is older than 1.500 years, its more worth than thought, even if it says its accurate the same worth as thought.

Fragments

Fragments are bonus treasures, which can only be rebuilt at home and if there is the amount of fragments required to rebuild.

Traps

A tomb is not complete without a challenge! Traps can be either disarmed or not disarmable. There are 4 types of active traps: Fire, Electricity, Darts and Steam your Sim would be able to encounter. The fire-trap will ignite your Sim, but wouldn't kill them unless they're singed. The electricity-trap would instantly singe your Sim. The darts-trap would cover your Sim in tranquility darts, causing them to fall asleep. The steam-trap is the least dangerous trap, as it only can soak your Sims, which causes a minor mood decrease. Movable statues can disarm the traps if they're firing conteniously.

Fog

Unlike common buildings, there's a fog system to create a fog at the unexplored area to make the tombs thrillering. Once a Sim enters/sees an unexplored area, the fog of the room fades away, and a sound effect plays.

Suspense

Everytime a Sim you control enters a room inside a tomb, a suspense sound plays. This doesn't do anything to your Sim, rather than making them look around in the room.

Floor Switches

A basic puzzle element. There is two different versions of a floor switch, the first one is the footstep symbol switch, this can only be stepped on once. The second one is the gear symbol switch, this is a little different to the first one, once you step off the floor switch with the gear symbol, another trigger releases. Movable statues comes handy to keep floor switches with gear symbol on pressure.

Locked Doors

Locked doors will stop Sims from approching the treasure that lies in the next room. Locked doors can be unlocked by floor switches, keystones and many more.

Keystones

Keystones are used to unlock doors and treasure chests by putting them in a keystone lock will the same shape at the keystone. There are 5 different shapes of a keystone, the crescent shaped keystone, the heart shaped keystone, the star shaped keystone, the skeleton shaped keystone and the key shaped keystone. The crescent, heart and star shaped keystones can be found at any tomb, the skeleton keystone can only be purchased at a special mechant for level 2 Visa and 250 ancient coins. The key shaped keystones can only be found at adventure and special tombs.

Dive Wells

Dive Wells works sometimes as portals, or to contain treasure or even a hidden switch. The dive well can be coloured (with a limited selection of colours), to make it fits it's atmosphere, like blood red for a fire tomb, or murky green for a swamp tomb.

Tomb Holes

Those are the same as floor switches, except they can contain bugs to scare curious Sims. They can contain treasure.

Movable Statues

One of the best logic based puzzle elements, they can be either pushed or pulled at the direction your Sim is. They're used to disarm traps firing conteniously by pushing them to the trap, and to keep a floor switch with the gear symbol pressed.

Sacrofauges

Sacrofauges in Al Simhara can contain mummies, that would try to curse Sims who is stealing it's belongs. Other sacrofauges can contain treasure and even be slept in. Some sacrofauges will pull the Sim who is checking the sacrofauge in and let them try the past time's simulator!

Hidden Doors

Hidden doors takes 2x2 space when made, they can be found by using interactions to random walls. If the hidden door wouldn't open, the Sim has to push the door to rotate it. High athletic skill is recommended to push the hidden doors.

Mummies=

Mummies are very nasty, as they'll curse Sims who is up to fight it.
