A landmark tomb is a special type of lot introduced in The Sims 3: World Adventures and The Sims 4: Jungle Adventure. They usually contain tomb objects that together act to make a puzzling adventure.
The Sims 3: World Adventures[]
In The Sims 3: World Adventures, a tomb is both a lot assignment in Edit Town and the Create a World tool.
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.
Types[]
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.
Hidden Tomb[]
Hidden tombs (or hidden lots) are a new kind of community lot and lot assignment introduced in The Sims 3: World Adventures.
When a lot is tagged with this type they will not generate a map tag and so will be largely indistinguishable from other the surrounding terrain unless inspected closely. Although introduced in World Adventures, this lot type functions in the base game without the expansion pack if it is set through the Create-A-World tool. Hidden Tombs do not have to be a tomb—they can be decorative, or a secret lot containing rare and usually inaccessible items. NPCs and townies will not try to route to hidden lots. There are many lots designated as Hidden Tombs throughout the subhoods of Shang Simla, Champs Les Sims, and Al Simhara, as well as one in Twinbrook[TS3:A] before the concept was abandoned by Maxis.

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.

Because Landgraab was a worrywart and obsessed with military code, the place is dotted with traps.

Omiscan Temple | |
---|---|
World | Selvadorada |
Game | The Sims 4: Jungle Adventure |
Omiscan Temple is the only tomb in The Sims 4: Jungle Adventure located in Selvadorada. Its puzzle is to trigger the correct switch to open the door. Triggering a wrong switch will instead cause a trap. After several doors are passed, several treasures of high value can be found. Sometimes, a Skeleton can be encountered inside the temple.
The door is locked by: fire, poison, electricity, or a force field.
These are the possible switch types:
- Three spear-welding skeletons
- Pedestal with four bowls on top
- Emotional foot pedestal: Requires a Sim to be in a certain emotional state to be triggered.
- Omiscan statue
- Three stacks of spinning blocks
- Pillar with four holes
Unlike tombs in The Sims 3: World Adventures, Omiscan Temple resets and chages its layout after it is fully explored, giving players a different challenge with each visit. Once fully explored, the temple becomes inaccessable for 24 hours while it is resetting. Players can make a lot of money by fully exploring the temple and selling the treasure found. This process can be repeated.
Notes[]
- Pirate's Hideaway in Barnacle Bay bears some similarity to a tomb, but does not use tomb markers or tomb puzzles, and has comparatively miniscule amounts of treasures.
