The Sims 3 World Adventures Guide › Walkthrough › Catherine's First Trip

Day Two

Morning dawns on Catherine’s second day. She really needs to complete the tomb today so we can get some social stuff, shopping, and skill-building done on the third day of the trip.

As soon as Catherine is awake and out of the tent, she uses a Shower in a Can to ward off any negative Hygiene moodlets. A quick bite of dried food and then it is back to the tomb.

Catherine continues exploring the tomb, pushing deeper into its depths by unlocking doors. A chamber contains several treasure chests and these chests contain relics.

I direct Catherine to move some of the statues around the room so she can open the chests and take whatever is inside.

Tip

Like clearing rubble piles, moving the heavy statues in a tomb increases the Athletic skill

One of the chests holds Ancient Coins. Those will be great for buying Adventure Rewards as soon as Catherine’s visa level goes up to at least 1.

Deeper exploration of the tomb reveals a dive well. Catherine uses the dive well to swim to a secret room. A treasure chest in the secret room holds the keystone for a nearby locked door.

With the keystone, Catherine can enter the chamber that Xi Yuan was talking about—the one with the ancient relic.

Once Catherine has the ancient relic described by Xi Yuan, she can return to the surface to finish the adventure.

Brownie Bites

By the way, I am not trying to be all clever and obtuse by calling the goal of this adventure an “ancient relic.”

World Adventures is full of randomness, so you can replay the adventures multiple times with different Sims and not always see the same thing.

The merchant at the bookstore may sell the same books, but the merchant’s appearance is never the exact same. The identity of the Sim who sends you off on a new adventure is always different.

The loot in the treasure chest changes because getting the exact same number of Ancient Coins or the exact same vase out of a chest with each visit to the same tomb would be boring.

Now that Catherine has the relic, it’s time to return to Xi Yuan to hand it over and receive her rightfully earned rewards.

Sure enough, Xi Yuan happily takes the relic and rewards Catherine. Her visa level goes up to 1. Now she can stay in China for five days on her next visit.

It is starting to get late, so Catherine heads back to base camp. There, she can get a good night’s sleep in a real bed and make breakfast in the kitchen in the morning.

Tomorrow, she will finish her first excursion with some skill-building, play time, and socializing.
