The Sims 3: World Adventures

Once you've crafted the perfect Sim, home, and family, there's only one thing left to do: broaden your horizons. With The Sims 3: World Adventures, leave your modest house behind and set off to explore an exciting new country. Following in the footsteps of earlier Sims vacation expansions, World Adventures opens up three brand-new destinations to enjoy — Egypt, China and France — each offering its own set of skills for your Sims to master. Visit the pyramids of Egypt and study photography as you explore ancient artifacts; the game even shifts to a first-person view so you can frame your shots. Train in martial arts in China, sharpening your skills for upcoming tournaments. And in beautiful France, learn the art of making sweet nectar. But as the title promises, this is all about adventure, with quests linked together by an overarching story. Your expeditions range from delving into tombs — watch out for mummies and their curses — to recovering valuable treasures, and that photography skill comes in handy for capturing every breathtaking moment.
