The Sims 3 World Adventures Contents

The expansion pack focuses on travel-related features. It gives your Sims the possibility to visit three distant locations, loosely based on real countries. These are Al Simhara (Egypt), Champs Les Sims (France), and Shang Simla (China). Each place is roughly the size of the Sunset Valley, and each one is quite unique and provides an entirely new experience.

Besides new locations, there are tons of new objects introduced, including dozens of new collectibles, new roof styles and decorations, and more. It also comes with the possibility to turn your Sim into a mummy, learn new skills, such as martial arts, and try to charm snakes inside baskets.

The expansion pack also features an entirely new soundtrack.

Story

The expansion pack, just like the original game, does not have a story – it simply adds new features to the base The Sims 3 title, delivering your Sims new experiences.

Gameplay

The Sims 3 World Adventures expansion pack doesn’t change the gameplay in any significant way. Instead, it adds new travel-related options and features for your Sims to try, significantly expanding the base game.

Reception
