Is the bird feeder a gameplay object? You fill it and birds feed from it.
Technically yes, no matter how much I do not want to consider it gameplay. If it involves a new sim animation, it’s gameplay. Doesn’t matter how complex or simple it is, because it will require more resources to create.

if the tombs are big they could be there for a long time so a sleeping bag would be good to have
and there would be no where inside to put up a hammock @Dannydanbo
I don't think that the tombs are going to all that big, plus, if your sim is tired, they can leave and comeback the next day to finish the adventure.
leaving a tome is pretty immersion breaking.
If letting your sim go back to his basecamp to get rest to continue the next day of exploring tombs breaks your cartoon game immersion, then I have no words.
Well you didn’t actually have to. WA added new survivalist stuff that allowed you to refill some needs while you were in the tombs (shower in a can, etc). Meaning you could stay there and not have to leave, but you also had the choice to leave if that’s what you wanted to do.
Leaving a tomb in Sims 4 is obviously going to be much different, seeing how every time you travel you have to go through a loading screen to a completely different area.

Sounds awesome. Is there any indication of when it will be released on console? I hate getting excited about these packs because I still have to wait an indefinite amount of time before I can play them.

You could have like a Lara Croft character that collects relics and puts them on the museums. At least those will now work for something with this pack. But that could get somewhat repetitive. We'll see if couples can actually go there for honey moon but I don't think that's what's intended with the theme so options are limited.

That's exactly what I did in SIMS 3, and loved it. I love decorating my Sim's mansion in artifacts collected on adventures.

Knowing the 'creativity' of TS4 it may end up happening. This engine can't handle anything. A big lot, many Sims on a single lot, no fade mods, lighting, etc. This game lags pretty bad with all DLC installed too worse than Sims 3. Rabbit holes will no doubt become more common as the game's tech gets pushed further to its doom.

A one floor tomb would not be very fun to explore. I'm guessing that there will be a couple of floors with rooms to explore above ground and a couple to explore below ground.

If the entire temples were just text pop ups then that might possibly be the most disappointing, underwhelming and embarassingly pathetic thing Sims 4 has ever done, and that'd be impressive given that the game has a knack for disappointment.
It wouldn't make sense to make it only text-based. They would at least have to throw one or two actual on-screen adventures for advertisement so it doesn't flop much worse than CL catastrophy. You don't see Dine Out being as a text-based event, do you?
When I see a new pack, I try to work out what else they could use the pack's items for in the future. So hey, maybe they'll add the Fear emotion for future use with that skeleton?
Also, I like the look of the clothes style. We need more hats - but not stupid ones. I feel like some of the stuff we excavate will have uses too. A new collection. Cursed items? New ways to die?
Also, and I already said this, IT'S INDIANA BONES. I mean, not officially. But I'm cool with putting money on it. And I said it first.
Prepping a list of mods to add after Infants are placed into the game. Because real life isn't 'nice'.
I guess I was hoping for a vacation pack with hotels or motels etc. I see now that this is an adventure pack so it is what it is, I will reserve my opinion until after I play it.

Rabbit holes will no doubt become more common as the game's tech gets pushed further to its doom.
Or maybe it is because of the design Choice? Big Lots? Just because rhey don't want to add huge lots it dosen't mean it was because of the engine. A lot people prefer medium size lots compared on huge ones. There is nothing that limits them. Didn't we just get Huge lots in Brindleton Bay? Many Sims on a single lot? The gane can handle it. I know they limit it to 20 but the reason they did that was because a lot of simmers dosen't have High-end Computer. Sims are complex Creatures with autonomy, Inventories, Constant Needs, Traits, Emotions. and Moodlets. All of those will have to be calculated by the game just for one sim. Add up to 40 sims and you may see performance issues specialy as this sims has better routing and has the ability to multitask. If you had an high end Pc then just download a mod that increases the limit. If it works then it means that the game can handle it. Its a design Coice not an engine Limitation. Lightning? Lightning are already better compared on the previous iterations. From Shadows to Windows that has different cast of shadows based on your objects. This was even one of the strength of this game engine that they had. The Lightning. Design choices was always a different thing. Just because they do this, it dosen't mean the games engine was limited. Yep there are times that the engine was limited, but there are times that a feature was limited because of the desicoin of the devs.
Yep Lag is pretty Bad nut I am happy that every patch its getting less laggy for me.
Explore the jungle. Sims gear up in hiking attire and prepare for danger as they trek deep into the jungle, revealing hidden pools, ancient artifact sites and ruins. Beware of natural dangers and obstacles (from deadly bees to poisonous spiders) that will surely keep your Sims on their toes!

Im just curious about if these "ancient artifact sites and ruins" will be shown in the map. The way TS4 handels world maps is quite weird. In TS3 they could always hide certain parts of the world (remember hidden islands or tombs that have no icon in map?).
But now in TS4 every lot is shown on the map.
No, not every lot is shown on the map. There are hidden lots as well in the different maps I believe. Obviously Sixam which is only available through travel in a rocket/portal, the one in Oasis Springs, the one in Willow Creek, the one in Granite Falls. I don't remember if I'm missing any other hidden lots. Basically, to get to the ruins/sites, it might be the same way. It's location may or may not be seen on the map but you would have to go into the lot nearby (probably the forest) to get to the temple and then find the entrance to get into the temple. You might have to solve something or have a certain skill level to get inside.

>
> Discover a hidden temple. Your Sims will be pleasantly surprised with what they’ll find when they stumble upon a unique temple. Venture into the mysterious rooms where Sims may find priceless relics, great treasures or doom! Have your Sims visit again to experience new challenges and uncover different treasures or traps.

Sounds awesome. Is there any indication of when it will be released on console? I hate getting excited about these packs because I still have to wait an indefinite amount of time before I can play them.

> There's this, so I don't think it's just simoleons. You could have like a Lara Croft character that collects relics and puts them on the museums. At least those will now work for something with this pack. But that could get somewhat repetitive. We'll see if couples can actually go there for honey moon but I don't think that's what's intended with the theme so options are limited.

That's exactly what I did in SIMS 3, and loved it. I love decorating my Sim's mansion in artifacts collected on adventures.
Well I don’t exactly think this pack will be about tomb exploration. The ruins will probably be rabbitholes with text pop ups (like the tree from the base game), but I doubt your Sim will actually go anywhere. I figure the dangers are in the jungle, the ruins and pools and what not are probably just around the world on various paths for you to stumble across.
I really hope this isn't the case.
I don't think it will be rabbit holes like the tree or cave. The description indicates that it won't be.

That doesn't sound like a rabbit hole to me.
Knowing the 'creativity' of TS4 it may end up happening. This engine can't handle anything. A big lot, many Sims on a single lot, no fade mods, lighting, etc. This game lags pretty bad with all DLC installed too worse than Sims 3. Rabbit holes will no doubt become more common as the game's tech gets pushed further to its doom.

It probably works like the apartment buildings. Big fx building with a lot inside.
A one floor tomb would not be very fun to explore. I'm guessing that there will be a couple of floors with rooms to explore above ground and a couple to explore below ground.
Actually apartments can have more than one level. But it doesn't necessarily have to be on air? I'm talking about the fact that there's a huge fx building and a lot inside.
If the entire temples were just text pop ups then that might possibly be the most disappointing, underwhelming and embarassingly pathetic thing Sims 4 has ever done, and that'd be impressive given that the game has a knack for disappointment.
If it's got enough to do, what's wrong with that?
Probably it's a late March release.
Why would there be swimming in the ocean in a tomb exploring pack?
Also, I like the look of the clothes style. We need more hats - but not stupid ones. I feel like some of the stuff we excavate will have uses too. A new collection. Cursed items? New ways to die?
Also, and I already said this, IT'S INDIANA BONES. I mean, not officially. But I'm cool with putting money on it. And I said it first.
But this looks interesting. I'm curious what it's gonna look like.
Or maybe it is because of the design Choice? Big Lots? Just because rhey don't want to add huge lots it dosen't mean it was because of the engine. A lot people prefer medium size lots compared on huge ones. There is nothing that limits them. Didn't we just get Huge lots in Brindleton Bay? Many Sims on a single lot? The gane can handle it. I know they limit it to 20 but the reason they did that was because a lot of simmers dosen't have High-end Computer. Sims are complex Creatures with autonomy, Inventories, Constant Needs, Traits, Emotions. and Moodlets. All of those will have to be calculated by the game just for one sim. Add up to 40 sims and you may see performance issues specialy as this sims has better routing and has the ability to multitask. If you had an high end Pc then just download a mod that increases the limit. If it works then it means that the game can handle it. Its a design Coice not an engine Limitation. Lightning? Lightning are already better compared on the previous iterations. From Shadows to Windows that has different cast of shadows based on your objects. This was even one of the strength of this game engine that they had. The Lightning. Design choices was always a different thing. Just because they do this, it dosen't mean the games engine was limited. Yep there are times that the engine was limited, but there are times that a feature was limited because of the desicoin of the devs.
Yep Lag is pretty Bad nut I am happy that every patch its getting less laggy for me.

YUS!
No, not every lot is shown on the map. There are hidden lots as well in the different maps I believe. Obviously Sixam which is only available through travel in a rocket/portal, the one in Oasis Springs, the one in Willow Creek, the one in Granite Falls. I don't remember if I'm missing any other hidden lots. Basically, to get to the ruins/sites, it might be the same way. It's location may or may not be seen on the map but you would have to go into the lot nearby (probably the forest) to get to the temple and then find the entrance to get into the temple. You might have to solve something or have a certain skill level to get inside.
