I have gotten Pangu's Axe and before I leave to take it to the Sim who wants it, I wanted to claim the rest of the loot I could in the temple. Yet, I've found a inaccessible area, and I need help figuring out what I'm missing. Where I am standing are where two boulders were originally when I went through the temple looking for the axe. I have since busted them.
I can tell by my cursor that the walls I highlighted in blue are hidden doors (If I click on them the "inspect" options comes up), but I am unable to reach them. The little "hallway" seems to be too small for me to squeeze through, and I cannot find any other hidden doorways on the other side that would give me access.
Can someone please tell me what I am missing??? Thanks!

The only way I did it was Zenaport over near the light inside the hall going around the dark room.
You have to close the door to get to that statue at the opposite end from that light.
Happy Simming
It would involve enabling your testing cheats and then shift clicking on a clear floor tile (clear as in no rugs or anything covering it/on it) and a menu should pop up where you can Build or Buy On This Lot. From there it is exactly the same as any regular build mode to delete the wall and replace it.
Good luck, hope this helps!
There is the exact same issue in the tomb in France that you get into by smashing 3 boulders near the little pond.
I have examined the area near the hidden door in the Temple of Heaven and there is now a spot that is a no go zone for Sims. It is very tiny and you have to carefully hover over the area to find it.
I tried zeonporting over the problem in the tomb in France but it wouldn't let me do it. In that one there is an open door (arch way) that you have to go through to get to a floor switch that opens a door to the area of the tomb that lets you get down to the dive well to go to the island in the river. There are a lot of things to find over there and you can't find them if you zenoport to the island - you have to go via the dive well. I'm sure it would be an easy fix if someone bothered to try to fix it.
The problem started when they made it so you have to keep telling the Sim which way to go is some tombs. It means lots of mouse clicking that is really annoying too.

In Pangu's Haven, you can still get to the hidden doors/treasure chests via Zeneport, but to progress further in Tuatha's Garden, you'll have to use the testingcheatsenabled cheat to manually move your Sim over to the floor switch.
I have never tried any testing cheats or mods or custom content yet. But I may have to try to do some testing cheats soon - or give up on the game entirely.
I am not having any problem finding the two secret doors in Pangu's problem are. They are both obvious. It is just that the Sim can't investiate either of them due to many spots on the floor in front of the doors that are no go zones for Sims now.
I notice my Sims are also losing their family history too now.

Oh and using the teleport function is also handy if you dont feel like walking around the whole tomb

I had the exact same problem. And fixed it by moving walls. I have had the same problem in Faerie Tomb - Little Wood and I think in the basement of the Market caves. The problem is doorways with walls to close to the other side (as in Faerie Tomb and hallways too narrow for swinging doors end up blocking progress. Here is what I experienced and how I fixed it.
Temple of Heaven – Pangu’s Haven
Basement level 3 a treasure area protected by boulders. You can’t explore this area until you have Pangu’s Axe. After completing this adventure, by smashing the Hot Springs boulder and exploring that tomb, I return to the Temple of Heaven to clean it out. After going up and down stairs between basement level 4 and basement level 3 and smashing boulders, I come to this narrow passageway with a treasure chest and two treasures on the floor in rooms beyond the narrow passageway (center of picture at the start of this thread). My Sim will not go to the rooms with treasure, but I can get him just beyond the narrow passageway. At this point, I try to inspect the wall, and the Sim waves his arm and refuse. I turn on testingcheatsenabled and buydebug and shift click on the tomb wall and select “Edit in Build Mode”. In the middle of the screen shot above there is a swinging door which doesn’t have enough room to open. There is a second swinging door at the top left of this screen shot with the same problem.
I delete the walls in front of this door from the torch on the right to the angled wall after the narrow passageway and insert a new wall closer to the rocks by the red brick path and a couple of torches. I update the floor to match that in this corridor and the wall coverings to match the tomb wall material. Now the door swings open and the Sim can get to the treasures in the rooms to the right and get to the second door through this door.
Now the Sim goes to the second door and tries to open it. Repeating this twice has no effect. Again I think the hallway is too narrow for the door to swing open. I was getting sleepy and used escape dust to go to the basecamp. After a nights rest and a meal, I zenported back to the Temple of Heaven and returned to this door. I turn on testingcheatsenabled and buydebug and shift click on the tomb wall and select “Edit in Build Mode”. I delete the straight walls in front of this door from the angled wall on the right of the door to the angled wall on the left. I extend the angled wall on the left and right and then joint them with a straight wall. Now the door has room to swing open and the Sim can get to the treasures chest in the room.
When I went back to live mode, the Sim still could not open the door. This time it would move a little bit and then slam shut. I used Sands of Understanding and the door sparkled. The Sim ate a morsel and I tried again and the door opened this time. I don’t know if the sands, eating, or just retrying worked.
Hope this helps. See my post on the Faerie Tomb - Little Wood for similar fixes in Basement level 1 and Basement Level 2

At the time I was trying to do it without cheats. But that proved useless due to the time taken. Then I decided the problem was caused by a bug introduced to the game by EA after a particular Expansion was released that made sims require a wider space to move through than they previously needed - so I felt happy with Ctrl Shift C and teleporting past the few places in various tombs that had been broken by patches released since World Adventures was first released and never fixed by EA.

Enjoy!
You can get to the remaining loot by teleporting or zenporting past the narrow hallway. Same solution. Don't forget the extra hidden door once you get into the area past the narrow hallway. There are two hidden doors to find. One in the hallway and another one after you go through that hidden door. Best stuff is in that final room.
