"Enter the secret base" - Egypt - Help! I can't find it!

«1
"Enter the secret base
The bribe goes a long way to earning the support of the local merchants. As for the information you seek, the people who hate MorcuCorp have established a "secret base" at the edge of town. I believe Nabila Moussa wants you to infiltrate this base and steal information from their computers. I consider my effort in this complete."

Then I looked at the map, and it told me that this "secret base" was at the Madbouli household. I visited their house last night, searched it from top to bottom, inside and out, clicking on everything, and couldn't find it, so I gave up and started a different adventure. So when I was offered the same adventure today, I decided to try it again, but I looked throughout the house even more thoroughly this time, and I still can't find the "secret base!" No computers in the house, no secret doors, no switches, nothing! Help me, please!

    There is a small shed behind the house, go inside and there is a wall switch over by the bikes that opens a hidden staircase.

    If there's a stereo next to the stairs, try turning it on.

    There's no shed, but there is a stereo next to the stairs. It's already on every time I visit, but I will try turning it off and see what happens...

    Ok umm go to the house your supposed to go to and next to the house there should be a smaller house (you may need to go down 1 level or go down some stairs out of the house).

    When you find the shed you need to look around in it, I can not remember if there was a staircase or a switch. If you can't find it you could cheat to get yourself into the base area.


    click pgdown or fn + down arrow to go 1 level down. If you do this you should see the staircase and you can do either of these two things, click on the staircase and select use stairs or enter ctrl+shift+c- testingCheatsEnabled true, shift + click on the ground at the bottom of the stairs and select "teleport here" and you should have entered the secret base!

    Hope that helps :)

    Although MorcuCorp is mentioned, the OP needs to go into the "Secret Base", alias "James Vaughn's Command Center", not "MorcuCorp HQ".

    MorcuCorp HQ has the shack. Vaughn's Secret Base has the stereo next to the stairs.

    After I turned the stereo off and then on, a stairway appeared in a place that I thought looked suspicious earlier..

    And for the person who can't find the computer, you might be on the other computer hacking task, which I already did. At the back of a room filled with computers on desks, there's a door that I almost missed, and the computer was through there. Maybe you missed it like I almost did.

    There are two very similar challenges in Egypt, both concerning secret computer rooms.
    1st - If there is a small shed beside the house, put the walls up and you'll see a swimming pool light looking secret trap that will activate a switch and open a staircase in the shed.
    2nd - If there's no shed but the downstairs toilet is clogged, then unclogging the toilet will give you a code and open a staircase in the bedroom. You get the other 2 codes by turning on and off the stereo and reading a book from the bookcase.

    Hope that helps and Good Luck!

    SPOILER ALERT!!

    When you are doing the challenge that starts in the small shed you go all the way to the computer room several floors down. You have to take the papers out of your own backpack and put them in the middle chest. I also read a book from the office area and was able to hack. Bigs bucks followed!

    Go to the toilet, when you flush it that is what activates the hidden stairs in the main bedroom on the ground floor.

    Do you need to read the books for this one? If it's the one I'm thinking of then it's quite possible (and if you ask me, more fun) to do it without the codes so as long as you can get down into the basement that should be all you need.

    I have heard of other people having problems with the bookshelves, usually they have high skills already and can't read the skillbooks that the bookshelf normally has. I still haven't heard of a reliable work around, if it doesn't mess up the adventure progress you could edit the lot and reveal the stairs or whatever yourself (or have something else that you can actually use trigger it, that might still let you complete an adventure objective depending on how it measures completion).

    In the main bedroom there's a stair case go down when you get down the bottom there's a set of feet tiles, stand on 2341 when the room glows green, go down the next set of stairs, stand on 1625 I think this is right I couldn't read the book either so I figured it out for myself. On the bottom floor stand on tiles 8249 when the room glows green go to the room with the computer in when you hack the computer report back in.

    I went to the house at 5:00 am and spoke to Mena to get in, On the first floor in the bedroom there is a funny stretch of floor on the far side of the room. I just pushed read "knights in bishops" on the bedroom bookshelf. A loose piece of paper fell out and opened the stairs , On the paper it said 617. But that number had nothing to do with the puzzles on the next floors. First floor step on floor switches ... 2, 3, 4, 1. On the second its 6, 1, 5. And on the third and final floor 8, 2, 4, 9,. If you mess up you can reset the tiles with the red floor switches that appear after you've stood on the first switches.

    I tried the 8249 but when I step on the 9 it resets everything, am I counting the wrong way??

    I think this post was referring to the mission you are on:

    When you're told to hack the computer you have to go into a small room that is attached to the larger one, the large one has several computers and some chests while the small room only has one computer on a desk (putting the walls up might help you spot the door).

    I'm on the "put the bribe into Morcucorp HQ" - have found the secret stairs in the bike shed; there's a hole in one wall you can inspect. All good so far.
    But...once I "use stairs" and go down I have no other options. Only "use stairs" which sends me back up to the bike shed again? Do I have a glitch?
    I've tried clicking on everything at the bottom of the stairs, underneath the bike shed, and nothing works - only message I get is "use stairs".
    I can see a door down there; also a potential "trap" but he won't move and I'm getting only one option.
    Help! This is annoying...
    This quest is NOT the one where stereos and books have to be used...it's a different one - different house.

    It sounds as if your Sim is glitched. I've never had this happen, but when it's happened to others they seem to be able to fix it by resetting their Sim. ("resetsim firstname lastname" using no punctuation and using your Sim's full name.)

    OMG I tried this adventure a million times yesterday!!! Ugh so frustrating, but I saw the spot by the window in the bedroom where it was a different shade from the rest of the floor, and tried to look for a switch to see if it would open up a stairwell and couldn't find anything. Literally made like 10 trips to egypt yesterday while playing!
