==Tomb lots==


The following are lots assigned as tombs in the [[sub-neighborhood]]s of ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]'' [[expansion pack]]. This list does not include residential lots, [[Art Gallery|art galleries]] [[nectary|nectaries]], or [[market lot|markets]] that contain [[tomb objects]].
{{Main|Trap}}
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. The fire- and electricity-traps are dangerous to Sims and the darts-trap causes Sims to fall asleep. The steam-trap is the least dangerous trap, as it only can soak Sims, which causes a minor mood decrease. Movable statues can disarm the traps if they're firing continuously.


===Al Simhara tomb lots===
==Switches==


The '''Tomb of Discovery'''
Switches are a puzzle element in tombs. Sims must activate them to reach unexplored areas of a tomb. Switches can be found in holes, [[#Dive Wells|dive wells]] and floor panels. The torches can also be levers that, when pulled on activate a switch.


The '''Pyramid of the Burning Sands'''
Tomb holes can be found in walls or floors. Sims can inspect one to see if it has a switch in it. Tomb holes also can contain treasure or bugs that scare curious Sims.


The '''Tomb of the Rock'''
There is two different versions of a floor switch. The first has a footstep symbol and can be stepped on once to activate. The second has a gear symbol. Stepping on the panel will activate the switch but it requires constant pressure to remain active, once a Sim steps off the panel the switch is deactivated. Movable statues comes handy to keep floor switches with gear symbols on.


The '''Pyramid of the Sky'''
==Keystones==


The '''Great Sphinx'''
Keystones are used to unlock doors and treasure chests by putting them in a keystone lock with the same shape as the keystone.


'''Hatsheput's Quarters'''
There are 3 different shapes of a keystone that can be found in tombs: the crescent shaped keystone, the heart shaped keystone and the star shaped keystone.


The '''Temple of Death'''
A [[Adventure reward|skeleton keystone]] can be purchased at the [[Special Merchant]] for level 2 [[Visa]] and 400 [[ancient coin]]s and can open any of the shaped keystone locks. A key shaped keystone can only be found by accepting [[adventure]]s and unlocking special tombs.


The '''Cooper Quarry'''
==Dive Wells==


The '''Sanctuary of Horus'''
Dive Wells are one of the most exciting tomb objects. Sims can use them to become Soaked, which makes them immune to fire, or to put themselves out when already on fire. A hidden switch can be set at the bottom of dive wells. Sometimes treasures can be found at the bottom. Dive Wells can also be portals to other areas of a tomb. Sims will go to the bottom, and then emerge from another dive well. This lets adventurers enter island tombs and other inaccessible areas.


===Champs Les Sims tomb lots===
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.


The '''Tomb of Isael'''
==Movable Statues==


The '''Tomb of Necteaux'''
Movable Statues are another classic adventure game element. They can be either pushed or pulled from the direction of the Sim.


The '''Faerie Tomb'''
They can be moved on top of traps to disarm them, or cleverly pushed through a maze to unveil a formerly blocked path. Their most common use is to be paired with a floor switch. Some floor switches are triggered when a Sim is on them, but deactivate as soon as a Sim steps off of them. This means a Sim must push a statue on top of them in order to keep the floor switch depressed. Some statues must be inspected before a Sim is able to push them.


The '''Forgotten Burial Mound'''
==Sarcophagi ==


The '''Chateau du Landgraab'''
Sarcophagi in [[Al Simhara]] can contain mummies, that would try to curse Sims who is stealing it's belongs. Other sarcophagi can contain treasure and even be slept in. Some sarcophagi will pull the Sim who is checking the sarcophagus in and let them try the past time's simulator!


==Hidden objects ==
===Shang Simla tomb lots===
[[File:Hidden_Door.jpg|thumb]]
Hidden doors can be found by using interactions on random walls. They are 2x2 spaces square. 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.


'''Dong Huo's Treasure Trove'''
Stairways from ''The Sims 3'' can be hidden now. Hidden stairways can be revealed by activating a [[#Switches|switch]].


'''Hot Springs Cave'''
==Mummies==
{{Main|Mummy}}
Mummies are very nasty, as they'll curse Sims who are up to fight it. They can cause a curse or death to Sims.


The '''Temple of the Dragon'''
== Giant Boulders ==
Some boulders are too large to clear with a pick axe. They require a special artifact, Pangu's Axe, from [[Shang Simla]] to clear. Clearing these boulders can give the Sim access to previously blocked areas of a tomb.


The '''Annex of the Resolute Fist'''

A tomb is both a lot assignment in Edit Town and the Create a World tool, and also any lot that contains tomb objects acting together to make a puzzling adventure.

Types

Lot Assignment

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.

Puzzles

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.
