World Adventure : France

Bonjour! Ve are now at France.. ze kountrie of luuurrrve.. and vine.. and artz..

Naturally, my trip to France tuuk me to my 1st tomb vich eez ze La Gallerie d'Art to investigate disturbing sounds at night....

Voila! Inspect ze ole & aktivate ze hidden door!!

Eev you see any torch, click on it.. zhere might be a 'Pull' option..

Push any statue on top of any floor switch you might find.. 

sometimes a hidden door eez just waiting to open..

Ancient coins!! Muaaahahaahahahaha!!

Be careful where you go!!

Sometimes, there's a safer path.. look around you!!

Voila!! Found mysterious voice at night..

Mourn the Curator's tomb & you shall be granted zee exit!!

I yave to learn ze art of vine or nectar making in Champs Les Sims Nectary before I could purchase zee Nectar Maker..

Step by step.. 1.. 2.. 3.. 4...

So much vine.. soo little time...

Oooo Laa Laa.... Hic~

and also lurk around, finding hidden files or solving kidnap / murder mysteries in Chateau du Landgraab..

I didn't pay any attention...

Next time I'll remember to disarm or inspect 1st..

Besides venturing and exploring tombs, I am also busy with  catching new fishes (I've caught crocodiles, mummy fish, snails, too many diff types of koi, crawfish, frogs) planting new fruits (exotic fine grapes for wine, pomelo, plum, pomegranate, i can't remember the rest) while getting burnt, darted, wet and shocked!! Each time my Sim will faint from getting the darts and electrocuted.. Haha.. it's damn hilarious.. 

Many doors are still left unopened, sometimes keys to a chamber is not granted until come mission comes up, meantime I dunno what else to explore.. still exploring.. but it is still great to see the interactions and also the missions that needs to be completed..

I guess it's Au Revoir for now?

World Adventure : Egypt

There were times when I was stuck in a tomb, with nowhere to go and I was frustrated to no end.. Imagine, locked in, nary a thing nor a hidden door.. AT ALL!! FOR DAYS!! or can't figure out where to go and how to do it.. Still I'm addicted to find the next hidden door, looking out for switches, attempting to cross or disarm dart, electric, water and fire traps..

So I have no choice but to google for forums & discussion boards... Luckily, I came across this lifesaver blog because I was stuck at the Bag End Job (trying to Infiltrate Intelligence HQ) in Egypt :

This to me is like heaven sent.. LOL!! but I only use it after any 4 failed attempts to get to where I want to.. else no cheating la.. steal the fun right out my nose man!

One bad thing, I couldn't get cursed by a Mummy cos my Sim's athletic skill and martial art skill are too high.. I guess I'll never know what it would look or feels like.. sigh.. so each time a mummy appeared, ended up my Sim beat the crap out of it, turning it into a pile of dust (sorry no picture, couldn't find a mummy anymore) or... I am carrying mummy cookies and they ravished it and went back to their grave (i dunno if i can call that rock thing a tomb) There's also a mummy fish you can catch in Egypt! >> also no picture, sorry!

In Egypt, you can also buy Snake Charming kit and practice.. if you are good enough, it will present an option for you to purchase a King Cobra for 1,000 Sim dollar.. (I always use money cheat). Here are some hilarious pictures.. too bad I didn't manage to record any video of this... (yes, they have this option in The Sims punya game)

Here, my Sim is trying to charm the King Cobra (She just got back from work, didn't change clothes yet)

She kissed too early and note that the King Cobra got her in the face!!

This will appear in the bar after the bite.. minus Sim's mood..

Another lip smacking attempt!!

TADA!! This time with great success (see how prideful she looks!)

And this is what follows afters!!

Well this time I didn't take any tomb picture cos malas wanna go tomb by tomb and take picture.. but Egypt's adventure are more to cracking the code and bringing down organizations (art imitates life eh?) compared to a more mythical China where you have to get someone to read the old scriptures kinda thing....

Next destination : FRANCE

World Adventure : China

I have been a little obsessed with World Adventure for a week or two, now the fascination has somewhat worn out.. I kinda reach the exploration end but some of the tombs I've yet to explore.. sudah malas la..

WA has 3 countries to choose from : China, Egypt, France. Let's take a look at China :

 Terracotta Army 

 Sometimes you need to look hard for switches or hidden room with stairs.. 

If you found some panel like this, read it!! It contains clue in helping you to explore safely.. or with minimal accidents.. haha!

Sometimes you need special keystones to unlock doors..

Be careful of these.. it could be hidden on the floor or walls.. inspect to see what sorta trap is this..if you can, disarm it too.. if you can't, try to find hidden switches or attempt to cross it and see what happened next..

If you found a chest, open it and see what reward is awaiting you...

Sometimes you might found a dive well.. It might transport you to another room or if you soak in it, it helps you to be able to cross a fire trap

 Select GO!

In this case, I was transported into another room..

This beauty has to be purchased using Ancient Coins so.. pick it up whenever you see any..

This is what happened after you slept in a Sultan's Tabernacle.. Glamer Queen!!

Some tomb looks like this (Dragon Maw)

While others looked like this (Shang Simla Market)

You can learn martial arts by using this object, in this case, this guy got whacked in the face, haha!

Or you can meditate to build your martial art skills.. If you meditate long enough, you can levitate and zeneport too!!

Ok I malas wanna take pic already but see you in Egypt next!!
