If you explored every tomb there is to explore, maybe you'll have fun checking out a brand new one
I took one of the towers in the Forbidden City of Shang Simla - the West Tower - and turned it into a tomb.
It contains puzzles, riddles, secrets, everything you'd expect from a TS3 tomb. I've thoroughly checked it - testing testing testing - and translated important signs into English. I have no idea if the default texts adapt to the language you play your game in tbh, but everyone familiar with tomb exploring in the game won't need those anyway (I mean the texts that appear when exploring a dive well or 'go through door', stuff like that).**
The link to the tomb
To replace the original you first must bulldoze the original West Tower. It's a hidden lot, so you'll have to type in those cheats first in order to be able to remove it:
ctrl-shift-c, type:
testingcheatsenabled true
ctrl-shift-c, type:
enablelotlocking true
Now use the bulldoze tool. After you've done that, you can place the tomb.
I of course appreciate any kind of feedback, both tips and tops
You'll obviously need World Adventures, and Late Night is recommended (though not necessary). If you're going to play the tomb: I hope you have fun!
** default texts appear in the language of your game (thanks

Unfortunately there seems to be a glitch with one of the toggles. Sometimes it works fine, but sometimes your sim can’t reach it for some mysterious and unsolvable reason (because there is no apparent reason). The only solution when you encounter this (there is an interaction possible but your sim complains he or she can’t get there) is to go into build/buy mode (don’t peek!!! ), pick it up, put it right back and go back into live mode. Then it will work.

i'll try it tomorow, thank you
P.S. I actually kinda like the Dutch in your screenshots. Aside from reminding me that people all over the world love The Sims, I feel like it adds character and authenticity to the threads. And it's a bit of a puzzle to figure out, too.
(lol, yeah, the Dutch in the picture is meant help and locate the tower; ‘drakengrot’ = dragon’s maw, ‘basiskamp’ = base camp, ‘academie’ = academy and ‘verlichtingstuin’ = scholar’s garden)
the door/entrance/? for the moon stone is not there
i am not very good with puzzles, can't make any sense of the blue & green clue
or maybe i missed something else
(that picture )
i thought my adventuress will master it in 3 days but she didn't
maybe i make her stay longer via NRaas otherwise she will have to travel back home before she can explore the whole tomb
it's really a nice adventure, she is constantly overjoyed
she wishes oc as an adventury type to discover the whole tomb, i don't want to take that away from her
she even started to reconsider her preference for Egypt & started to think about China as a thrilling adventure land
@JoAnne65
would you maybe like to make a new tomb in France ?
i loved the France tombs most of all 3 destinations, Egypt the least, that's just me
i would like to travel with my adventuress, Sonia Storch is her name, to France too
in this game she's new, did manage to travel to Egypt only so far, but she's oc very willing & eager
I’d love to do another tomb! I wonder if there’s a spot or building in France that I could use, like I did with the existing West Tower. I’m going to open France and take a look around there
Oh, p.s., I was wondering, do the default texts (so other than the signs with the hints and riddles) show up in your own language or in Dutch?
& thank you for this tomb, it's great to have something new to play in TS3
Is there an "end" to the tomb? What I mean is, my sim rolled a wish to fully explore a tomb but the wish was not satisfied after I thought I explored everything. I checked in build/buy mode and didn't see anything else to do. I don't know if that's something you can add via a trigger or not. Or maybe I missed a place to go.
I also maybe ran into another issue; I'll PM you.

Thank you for your talent! And sharing it with us.
@JoAnne65 Gotta admit the thought had crossed my mind before I found out about this tomb you created.
Shang Simla is the most BEAUTIFUL world of the 3 and I WISH someone could make it into a playable world! (Not doing the NRaas thing...)
Thank you for all of your work, I downloaded it yesterday. Also thank you for the detailed instructions-descriptions!
I am definitely going to try this, the next time I have one of my Sims do some traveling. I didn't think anyone else liked making tombs.
The only kind of garden I can grow is a virtual one.

I went to your sig, but I thought it brought me to the same one. Now that I know it's different, I definitely want to get it.
Edit: Just remembered why I hadn't downloaded it. Your link leads me to a post on another thread. I looked for a link, but there wasn't one in that post or any other that I could see. Where can that lot be downloaded?
