This is beautiful! Fortunately I have all of the store content you recommend, because that way I'll be able to see it as it is. :)

This lot looks great! I can't wait to try it out. My favorite part of World Adventures is exploring the tombs, so I'm always excited when someone posts a great looking tomb. Thanks for sharing.

It's lovely! It reminds me of the Collins mansion from 'Dark Shadows')
I've even created it in minecraft, very inspiring

I just had my sims visiting this house recently

If you want to see more of this house it's featured in my 2013 Sims Showcase Music Video:

I was going to say the same thing. Great minds think alike!

I put this in my Aurora Skies game, with one significant alteration - I added the Door of Life And Death from Grim's Ghastly Manor, which did mean I had to extend the wall that the front door was on outward, as well as the veranda in front of it. I still have to send a sim to explore it though.

This looks perfect for what I want. Great job, thanks. I do have a couple of questions. (1) I don't have SN so will this still be playable as a tomb without that EP? (2) Can this be deadly for sims, can they die in the traps? I am looking for a mansion that is dangerous enough to put my sims at risk. (3) Is there a non tomb version?

1) Supernatural (SN) didn't add tombs, but World Adventures did (WA). That said, I think without WA, this house would be probably be useless as a "Sim Deathtrap" . I am not sure if the lot would work without the required EP's but if it did, the used objects would either be missing or replaced with BaseGame objects (like with most CC-riddled houses).
The best way is simply to test it:
Quote:
Make a backup copy of your "The Sims 3" folder to your desktop.
Now, install the lot and test it on a Brand New save file. If the house can be placed and explored/visited by a sim, then it's fine.
If the game crashes, delete your original "The Sims 3" folder and put the backup copy (from the desktop) back in.
Vwa-la, no harm done. (I'd test this myself but I have all EPs installed).

2) Assuming you have WA, yes, and no. If I'm remembering right, your sim could drown in a dive well, or catch on fire from a fire trap, but these are rare and easily preventable, as with most sim deaths. The biggest issue would be the Mummy's Curse if it has a sarcophagus. For more info I highly recommend you read Carl's Sims 3 Guide to World Adventures Tombs.
3) That's one I can't answer sadly

Best wishes!

I have finally gotten around to sending a sim to visit - nice tomb you made with this, the way you set up the exploration was pretty good. My only nitpick is that it could have done with a few more random treasures around the place.

Hello! I've just downloaded the lot and it was very thrilling until my Sim refuses how matter what to explore the red pond on the top of the house. So I can't explore the basement. I've tried to remove the candles and lights around the pond, move the pond, but still the same problem : the Sim "says" the path is blocked. Am I the only one with this issue? Thanks a lot =)
