Shopping And Skills

Al Simhara Market

Like the marketplace in China, the Al Simhara market does not have defined store address on the map. Instead, travelers are encouraged to explore the market at their leisure, wandering in and out of the shops.

Al Simhara has four individual shops: books, relics, food, and general store. You can buy all of the adventuring items you need at the general store, such as a Shower in a Can or a tent.

Shop for photography improvement books at the bookstore.

Photography Skill

Egypt does not have a definitive skill like France or China. However, this is the only destination of the three where you can buy the top-tier cameras for developing the Photography skill as well as a Photography skill-building tome.

So, consider Egypt the unofficial home of the Photography skill. While on your adventures, stop and take photos of everything to not only develop the skill, but also to fill some of the photo collections that result in Simoleons.

Snake Charming

Snake Charming is not a skill that you track like Martial Arts or Writing—it is more of a hidden skill. To start developing this skill, you need to buy the Snake Charmer’s Basket from the general store in Al Simhara.

Then, find a nice spot to sit down and practice. Your Sim uses a pungi to coax a snake out of the basket. Now, at first you are not going to be very good at this. But the longer you play for the snake, the better you get.

Soon, you will be able to charm for tips, just as you can with the guitar.

Snake Charming is also one way to cure the Mummy’s Curse moodlet given by a hardcore mummy attack. After charming for a long time, you may be able coax a cobra out of the basket and get the Snake Kiss! moodlet, which dispels the mummy’s curse.
