Don't worry, this isn't another hate post. But, Maxis...WHAT where you thinking adding lamps inside the pyramids? I don't know why, but this really bothers me.
As you can see in this picture...there are two lamps right next to the mummy and one in the far right. Why didn't they just put in some sweet torches or something? Meh...ok, done ranting about that. :roll:

btw, PLEASE do not "break" the frames with huge pictures. Try re-sizing them by typing [ img] (your pic url here) "width=600" "height=450"[/img]
edit: thank you for re-sizing.
To be honest though, I think maybe the game designers were... being a bit lazy.
"C'mon lads we've got to get these lights up... Don't mind those gold icons and precious gems over there... just leave em for some other bloke to find.."

lolz... "Nope, don't touch those shiny gems either! We're just here to put up lights like Mr. Bell asked us to. Then we get paid, and we leave. Simple, right? Now where are the wall sockets..."
xD
And they sent all the way to Sunset Valley for special lamps to complete the excavation. But I also hear they use candles handcrafted from left over bodywax from the Sharma Day Spa.
You crack me up.
It also says you can put up your tent anywhere. I guess the desk I saw in one picture out in the middle of nowhere comes as a furnishing option for the tent.
Ha ha, so true! I mean, they have torches in these pictures...why not inside?

Though the second one is just the campfire...lame!
Yeah whats with the campfire as a torch....Cant EA just make torches and other good stuff..please dont say the whole 'customize everything' was a lazy way out of making new objects XD cus everything so far seems to be recolours..:/
If only Maxis still did make the Sims..*Sigh*
The Dendera "Light bulb"
http://www.catchpenny.org/dendera.html
upon reading this you will notice that a few believe this carving is of a light bulb, but in actual fact it is NOT a light bulb. However, seeing as how the Sims is not factual reality, the lightbulbs in Sim-pyramids may fall into this loophole.
So yes, in this non-real world of the Sims, there ARE light bulbs in the sim-pyramids, based on the real-life conjecture that there might have been light bulbs in the real-pyramids. (Even if that conjecture is wrong, it still creates a loophole for fantasy/fiction).
Have some imagination people. (next thing you know you are going to want serious civil unrest and political upheaval :roll: )
edit: before i get "where did the power come from? a nuclear reactor?"
"Baghdad Batteries"

Some people like having others agree with them, and what better way then mocking something?
@dendera's lighting fixtures:
I heard it was a lightbulg, eggplant, lotus flower, or 'the birth of a god', what do you think it is?
thanks. well i'm not sure this is the place to discuss the carvings but
forum link:: http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread105432/pg1
that forum is where most of the links and arguments for and against can be found.
personally i think it's the lotus flower/birth of a god thing. however, as argued on the above forum, "bronze aged Egyptians" may have been capable. Then again, take it with a grain of salt, it is the internets after all.
Even if there were no factual light bulbs, the plausible and the possible gives enough leeway for the non-factual sim world to have light bulbs in their sim-pyramids.
That would mean a lot more work though. And for everyone complaining about the objects only being recolors, you should read Schweighsr's comment on this thread. It explains why there aren't many objects just yet.

Those lamps hopefully are just placeholders fpr what thet really intend to place in the tombs. I think the debs are much smarter than that.
I read where the game is in deep development. So I think this game presentation at gamescom was just a demo version of egypt, so it would make sense that everything they are planning for the tombs would not be there. Plus I hope they keep somethings from us until close to the release date.
You'd think they would be able to create just a few torches for the tombs...but I guess not.
j/k
LOL! Then you stumble apon a room full of potatoes. Kinda reminds me of Dexter.
Or in any area where there is an open flame for that matter....
LOL!
