Adventure Tips:
- ask locals questions
- read signs
- remember the statue in the market
- shop in the market for adventure gear, food - not everything will be available all the time
- skills can impact results in RPG text-style adventure aspects
- not every location will always be available
* (Feb. 15 livestream)Archaeology
- portable archaeology workbench can be used to authenticate artifacts
- Relics (some?) can be activated, usually on someone else
* (Feb. 15 livestream)Relics and Skeletons (http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/16320306/#Comment_16320306)
- Relics (some?) can be activated, usually on someone else
- One can summon a "skeleton helper": Golden Totacallama Relic
- Summoned Service Skeleton is not part of your family
- You can have one per Sim
- Some relics will temporarily change yourself or someone else into a skeleton (for several days); it can be cured
- Not all curses/blessings are skeleton-related

I started a thread on this called Jungle Facts but you can go to my thread and copy everything I listed.
First Livestream is Thursday on the new world.
So I'm reassured.
It's in the GP forum. I'll let you take this over though if you want to. Just copy all the info from my thread and I'll delete.
I think I got everything? But if it works better on the Mods' side to leave yours as the one, I'm fine with that
I can't wait for them to further elaborate what we've seen in the trailer.
Race Against the Clock: Can your elder sim turn back the clock before their time runs out?
Bringing toddlers to an adventure sounds negligent, though.
Race Against the Clock: Can your elder sim turn back the clock before their time runs out?
I am sorry.
She's a trooper. She can handle it, I have faith in the almighty Luth.
Lol. Maybe I should get out of pyjamas at least.

I think it was previously mentioned by SimGuruNinja that there are new aspirations.
And yay! We actually do get an archaeology skill!
Race Against the Clock: Can your elder sim turn back the clock before their time runs out?
Yeah I just saw the tweet. Since she specifically says new aspirations and not a new aspiration I'm going to take that as a sign that there's more then one. I mean Vampires had three so there's no reason this one couldn't/shouldn't have more then one as well.
But what is it good for outside the vacation?
