Mummy



The mummy is a new Life State introduced in The Sims 3 World Adventures. Normally, mummies are NPCs but sleeping in a cursed sarcophagus can turn a Sim into one. Mummies also groan alot, and can only awaken if a sim looks inside its sarcophagus, or is stealing treasure.

Al Simhara
In Al Simhara, their home nation, NPC mummy will normally be inside their sarcophagus resting. However, if a sim looks inside the sarcophagus, they will rise and pick a fight with the Sim that is treasure hunting. If the Sim loses the match, they may become cursed. The Sim must plead with the sphinx, explore it completely, and use "cleanse" interaction on a special statue or the Sim will pass away within 2 weeks. Within the final days of these cursed weeks, a dark black haze will slowly surround the borders of the screen whenever the affected Sim is selected, as if the vision of the hapless victim is slowly clouding over.

If the Sim happens to have a Mummy Snack in their inventory, the mummy will automatically remove it and return to their sarcophagus until they are disturbed again. You can defeat the mummy by the Sim having a very high, or mastered, Martial Arts skill, which can be trained in China.

Biology
Advantages

Mummies are very strong in comparison to normal Sims, so Sims are normally outmatched by mummies unless they have a high Martial Arts skill level. A mummy can outlive normal sims by a number of days. As an added bonus to their Needs, Mummies do not have the Energy motive or the Bladder motive. Tomb Mummies will not attack your Sim.

Disadvantages

Mummies are covered in old, flammable rags. Thus if they catch fire, instead of the usual hour a Sim has before he turns into ashes, a mummy will die instantly. Because of the fast fire death, Mummy Sims will receive the 'Scared' Moodlet whenever they are in the same room as a lit fireplace, and will "quickly" move to put it out. Also, mummies are very slow, so a Sim can outrun a mummy if he can flee the ruin he is in.

Side Notes: Mummy Sims are unable to get Pregnant. Be it just the Male as a Mummy, the Female, or both. Sims as young as Teenagers can sleep in the Cursed Sarcophagus, and so can become Mummies.

Becoming a Mummy
Sims are able to become a mummy themselves by sleeping in a Cursed Sarcophagus of the Kings twice for a few hours. The first time they emerge, a message will appear saying that your Sim is slightly closer to the mummy world somehow. The next time you sleep, you will emerge as a full-blown mummy. Sleeping in the Cursed Sarcophagus has an advantage however, should you sleep in it, your Sim's Body skill increases while they sleep. Just don't sleep in it too much.

This can be quite difficult as it can take a long time to explore tombs for mummies. However, there is an easier way. Press control+shift+C to open the cheat console. Then type in "testingCheatsEnabled" true and press enter. Then open the console up again and type "buydebug". Go into Buy Mode and you will see a category with a question mark. This is where you will buy the sarcophagus from. Buy it (It will probably be 1 Simoleon) and select your Sim to sleep in it for a few hours. Eventually, they will be a mummy.

If your Sim is a mummy, the other mummies won't attack them at all.

Reverse
To reverse the life state and become a normal Sim again, simply sleep in the Blessed Sarcophagus of the Kings for a day or so, and when you emerge you will no longer be a mummy.

Owning a Mummy
Interestingly enough, you can add your very own mummy to your home! To do so, aquire all 5 pieces of the Sarcoughagus of the Blessed Kings and all 5 pieces to the Canopic Jars relic collection. Once you have them all, drag the Canopic jars one by one onto the coffin and if the sarcrifice is accepted after all 5, a mummy will emerge and be added to your household! Mummies can get jobs, gain skills, and even fall in love. Just remember to fire-proof your home!

Fighting Mummies
If you sim does not wish to be cursed, there is the option of combat. If you sim has a high Martial Arts skill, you sim may win in physical combat. If strength is not your strength, there is the option of trickery. As mentioned before, mummies are vulnerable to fire, and can be tricked onto invisible fire traps, incinerating them.

Mummy's Curse
If your Sim didn't defeat the mummy, it can curse him. There are two ways to cure this curse:
 * Visit Sphinx and pray at the statue inside it
 * Rebuild both King's Sarcoughaguses - Blessed and Cursed, sleep in the Cursed Sarcoughagus first (your Sim will become mummy) and then in the Blessed Sarcoughagus. You don't need to go to Egypt to use this method.
