Game Help:Sims 3 Occults/Mummies

Mummies

A mummy guarding some treasure.

Mummies are a new life state introduced into The Sims 3: World Adventures. They are very slow moving, and covered in old rags that will catch fire very easily. If a mummy catches fire, it will die instantly.

Mummies in Tombs

Mummies can be found in Sarcophaguses in Al Simhara when your sims explore tombs. They may come out when triggered by something nearby (like opening a certain treasure chest) or when your sim opens the sarcophagus to peek inside.

Mummies move slowly, but pack a big punch - if a mummy catches up to your sim, it will attack. A Mummy Snack in the sim's inventory (purchasable from the Special Merchant in Egypt) will prevent a mummy from attacking. Tomb mummies have 5-10 Athletic skill and 5-10 Martial Arts skill, which factors in to who wins the fight. If the mummy wins, your sim will be rendered unconscious and can be cursed. If your sim wins, the mummy will disappear in a puff of smoke and leave a pile of dust which can be cleaned up.

The Mummy's Curse

Course of the Curse

The Mummy's Curse Moodlet lasts for 2 weeks. Stage 1 effects start at 11 days remaining, Stage 2 at 3 days, and Stage 3 effects begin at 4 hours remaining. Once the moodlet expires, the sim will die. The only way to prevent this is to lift the curse before the moodlet expires.

Curing the Curse

• Sims can plead with the Sphinx to enter, and talk to the Soulpeace statue inside, to cure the curse.
• Sims can also practice with the snake charming basket (bought from the Egypt general store merchant), and unlock the option to upgrade to a King Cobra. A kiss from the King Cobra can cure the curse.
