Tomb

See also: Tomb object and Creating a tomb

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. The lot assignement does not generate the moodlets players will see in tombs, these are instead generated by the tomb fogger tomb object.

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.
