Thanks! After a few busy thanksgiving days away I am back to the forums. I was not surprised by the warm welcome but it was still lovely! I have learned so much by reading the responses to other posters' questions, and that has made my game so much more fun! The last real gem for me was learning about using the room mates option to grab sims for the bin. For some reason the npc sims in my games have almost always been attractive and now I can pair them up with my own in game sims. Again, thanks to all in this warm & wonderful community!

  • Hi SimLibby! What I was trying to say was that I am nearly computer illiterate. Obviously that includes my typing skills as I managed to mess that up ;) I really need to proof read before I hit "post comment"!
  • Thank you for the information! I'll try to do what you suggested. I am a long time simmer starting with Simtown but nearly compute illiterate outside just playing the games :)
  • I love the tomb exploring part of adventuring but some of these requirements are really frustrating! I learned through experience to have my second or third generation be the explorer and to have his/her older relatives make advance trips to acquire some of the things they will need. Another bug I think is the scarab…
  • I have just replaced my old computer so I haven't yet played in the IP world yet. Even if I don't get around to it anytime soon I'm happy to have it in my game! Favorite honeymoon site: France. (second) Favorite honeymoon activity: windsurfing through town on the beautiful river! The content alone is worth having IP!
  • WA is my absolute favorite expansion pack! I play without mods and have experienced no issues with glitches here (unlike ambitions!) The tombs are just challenging enough and new items/fish/clothing etc are a great additions to your home world. All of my sims now have koi ponds at home!
  • I just found out that a toddler sim will read the children's books to himself! I was trying to pull "handprints of the masters" from my single dad inventory and place it into the bookshelf. I did not notice that I missed and dropped it on the floor until my child toddled over and started reading! Since their relationship…
  • Hi SuzyCue72! I was mostly annoyed because I had to start over with this sim after I had played him for most of his young adult life and had him pretty skilled up. Decided he needed a spouse so off to china he went. He met, wooed and married a local girl and they returned to LP. And the game glitched. :( Badly. So this was…
  • I knew a few, but so many have gone right over my head for years!
  • I hadn't seen this for so long that I forgot it was a thing! Of course yesterday I started a new game in Lucky Palms and chose the tiny house on the big lot (by the community garden lot). As soon as I hit play a notification came that it had some plumbing issues! Everything that could be spewing water was. I chose to play…
  • I am going to put in a recommendation for Lucky Palms. It is one of my favorite worlds with a neighborhood for struggling families as well as a more posh are depending on how you want your family to start out. Beautiful and scenery and gorgeous sunrises and sunsets!
  • I am also a big fan of the early struggles! My sims start on a huge lot with an outdoor shower (maybe) and a sleeping bag. As they collect rocks and so on and skill up enough to start earning money I always make at least one of a couple have the "good" trait so they can remain poor by donating to causes at the mailbox.…
  • The available photography book only takes you to level 3. The multi tab skills all the way to 10, one level at a time. I have used this for newly created sims as a great way to up lifetime reward points as they roll wishes to improve their skill as they level through the tab casts. If you watch for those wishes to pop up…
  • The Sultans Tabernacle tent can also be recolored in build/buy mode. I like to purchase them and leave them in parks and beaches in my sims home towns for naps and woohoo! You end up with a LOT of ancient coins as an explorer after all. You can also sell it for a bunch of simoleans if you need some actual cash.
  • WA is my favorite ep! I have fully explored every tomb in all 3 worlds. CravenLestat is right about the need to zeniport- it, the tears of Horus and the moodlet manager all are necesary for me. I generally use my second or third gen sim so they can inherit the moodlet manager from a relative. They can also travel to china…
  • I have added on to my sim house with auto roof off and then gone on to play. Realized after a while that the light is coming from the sun!
  • If someone can help me I would be so grateful! I am having a problem with the sculpting station. The "sculpt in metal" option never appears. this has happened across different games and at all levels of the sculpting career. What is going on? It worked fine when I first started using it.
  • I have been loving this conversation! My obsession with sims started with sim town. I could make towns balance- just the right amount of schools, businesses and houses to tick over nicely while I made beautiful parks and walking paths! I pretended it was a game for my very young children but really... Of course I played…
  • I have completed this LTW many times. Your explorer will very often roll a wish to "fully explore a tomb". If you catch that and lock it in you will know for sure that you have done it. It is usually worth a bunch of points too, so that helps pick up rewards that will help in exploration. I find that buying the moodlet…
  • Happy New Year to all, and happy simming in 2017!
  • Welcome MingYangYo! I also am a World Adventure fan! For a very long time I played with only WA and the base game. I have no mods (and no cc) and my game runs well. I love the tomb raider games as well, and WA gives me that flavor along with my beloved sims! I like being able to move my family "abroad" when their hometown…
  • I have found that my favorite part of the storyline is the beginning when my sims have nothing! I put them on an empty lot and make them gather gems, metals and even bugs to sell if they want money to do anything. They furnish their shacks with dumpster finds and raid the community gardens for food to eat and plant. Until…
  • One other thing I have noticed about traits; I frequently put sims into the bin and pull them out for specific story lines. The original traits usually get changed but they seem to have 'shadows' of them at first. As an example, I have used Sahan Diwan from LP. He has whatever trait that makes him check himself out in the…
  • Hi again I really don't want to hijack a thread but I have no clue how to start a new one! I am just needing to say thank you for the warm welcome (not surprising but still lovely)! I have learned a ton from you all, and that has made my game playing so much better! I also love the truly disgusted way my explorer sim…
  • The ants going to and from the picnic baskets! they carry little pieces of food away. Also saw a flock of cleopatra butterflies fly out of the snake charmer basket in Egypt the other day - new to me! (and hello to you all! I am a long time player and forum reader but very new to posting)
