The rewards - ancient artifacts, gems and gold - are worth it, but beware: Not all treasure chests are filled with riches. It's all a little Indiana Jones, a little RPG even - definitely a welcome departure from the mindless "click-and-click-some-more" gameplay prevalent in previous expansions. Mess up and it could be a face full of fire for your Sim (which you could avoid if you made him wet ahead of time). Beyond just sliding boxes over pressure-sensitive floor panels, you have to see if your skills will allow you to evaluate or disarm certain traps and hazards. The tomb-raiding mechanics are much more interactive than the simplistic gameplay Sims players are used to. Someone may need you to retrieve a lost item from an abandoned tomb, or perhaps locate some rare rocks that are scattered about near different landmarks - the variety is pretty outstanding, and it doesn't hurt that these missions are pretty fun. The game will then alert you to check out the local notice board, and prompt your Sim to undertake an assortment of adventures in that country.
When you first arrive at a new location you are taken to a "base camp" where all of your essential needs (grab a bite to eat, sit on the potty for a bit, etc.) can be taken care of. Of course, this is still The Sims we're talking about, so you'll still be able to stock up on new decor, furniture, clothing, and themes - all with an international flair.
Here, players will actually investigate underground tombs, solve puzzles, and find hidden treasures, all the while exploring a variety of beautiful backdrops. This is no ordinary "vacation" pack, however in past expansions, Sims would visit areas that were little more than freshly re-skinned stages with hardly anything new to do from a gameplay perspective. In The Sims 3: World Adventures, your Sim is given the exclusive ability to travel to real-world locales such as China, Egypt and France.
