See also: Tomb object and Creating a tomb

A tomb is both a lot assignment in Edit Town and the Create a World tool, and also any lot that contains tomb objects acting together to make a puzzling adventure.

Types

Lot assignment

There are two kinds of tomb lot assignments in Edit Town and Create a World, Tomb and Hidden Tomb. These assignments are locked from use outside of the The Sims 3: World Adventures sub-neighborhoods in-game. The tomb lot assignment generates a tomb map tag, and it attracts explorer NPCs. The lot assignment does not generate the moodlets players will see in tombs, these are instead generated by the tomb fogger tomb object.

Puzzles

For the walkthrough to complete the tombs, see here.

Tomb puzzles are defined by setting the tomb fogger object to 'final room' and giving the tomb a name. There can be multiple tombs on any kind of lot type, including residential lots.

Tombs are often underground labyrinths that hold puzzles, traps and treasure. Tombs can be found in Shang Simla, Al Simhara and Champs Les Sims.

Tombs can be a place of suspense and discovery. Unlike common buildings, unexplored areas of a tomb are often fogged out as Sims explore new tombs. Once a Sim enters/sees into an unexplored area, the fog of the room fades away, and a sound effect plays.

The following list is lots assigned as tombs in the sub-neighborhoods of The Sims 3: World Adventures expansion pack. This list does not include residential lots, art galleries, nectaries, or markets that contain tomb objects.

Al Simhara tomb lots

Abu Simbel

Abu Simbel

The exterior of Abu Simbel in The Sims 3 World Adventures is based on the real life Abu Simbel in Egypt.

Abu Simbel is a memorial by King Ramses II for his wife Nefertari.

The Great Pyramid

The Great Pyramid

The Great Pyramid in Al Simhara.

One of the largest tombs in The Sims 3: World Adventures. Located in Al Simhara, it has many mummies, and usually takes several days to navigate through. The Great Pyramid is based on the real life Great Pyramid in Egypt.

The Great Sphinx

The Great Sphinx in Al Simhara.

This Sphinx is based on the real Egyptian Sphinx. This is the location of the soulpeace statue that serves as one of the main ways to cure the mummy's curse from a sim. In order to cure the curse, the sim must walk in front of the Sphinx, plead with it, revealing the entrance. The sim must then explore the tomb entirely until they reach the soulpeace statue. Then they must then use the "Cleanse" interaction on the statue, curing the curse from the afflicted sim.

Pyramid of the Burning Sands

The Chateau du Landgraab is the primary tomb lot in Champs Les Sims. It used to be inhabited by the famous Admiral Landgraab, and possibly other Sims as well because it has several bedrooms and a nursery. It includes two double-bed bedrooms, a bedroom with two single beds, a private study, private library, kitchen, several bathrooms, and many relics and treasure chests. Because Landgraab was a worrywart and obsessed with military code, the place is dotted with traps.

Champs Les Sims Nectary

The Champs Les Sims Nectary tomb is entered through a secret passage in the basement underneath the nectary, which is not marked as a tomb room. It is one of, if not the, largest tombs in World Adventures which not only contains many ancient nectar treasures, but also Egyptian-based treasures, as well. This semi-hidden tomb contains two mummies which are said to be a king and queen of Egypt, "sipping on nectar till the eve [they] die." There are several puzzles in this tomb, but none of them very difficult. Several traps guard certain treasures, but the majority of them can be disabled by solving puzzles and following directions given by plaques on walls.

The Little Island

The Little Island can be accessed by zenoportation, or the Teleportation Pad because it sits in the middle of a river. It can also be accessed through the hidden frog pond across the river from it. This little island is the exit to the Tuatha's Garden tomb challenge. It features a large tomb puzzle leading to money trees and relics.

Shang Simla tomb lots

The Hot Springs and Abandoned Barn are not tomb lots, they are tombs built on park lots.

The Dragon's Maw

Since it first appeared in promotional material, The Dragon's Maw has been one of the most intriguing lots in The Sims 3: World Adventures. Not only does it have an impressive carved dragon's head, but a mysterious fog also periodically drifts out of the head's mouth. It contains a tomb, entered through the mouth, and is the centre of several adventures.

Dragon Springs
