User-created tomb exchange?

[nstev79]

Probably a dumb question, but where on Earth can I go to download tombs that other people have created?  I've completed most of the ones that came with WA, and I've thought about creating my own, but it would be kinda boring playing tombs that you already know about.  The official exchange doesn't seem to have any (that I can tell).  Surely there must be some out there?

Check out Carl's guide on how to make tombs at the site. If you are having trouble finding it; the guide is in the sub catergory called "World Adventures". If you need help finding that, click this link: http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/worldadventures/tombbuilding.php

Happy simming,

Thanks for the info, but that wasn't exactly what I was talking about.  I've read up on how to build my own tombs, but what I want is to download and play tombs that others have already created.  I'm sure there must be some out there, it's just google and I can't seem to find them.

I'm not aware of any tombs that others have built.

Have you tried going to the exchange and adding tomb to the search bar in lots? I did and a few came up, not sure if they do actually have tombs to explore or there was just the word in the description.

Yeah Twinum, I tried that and a couple came up, but not really what I was expecting.  I just find it odd that out of all the (hundreds of?) thousands of players out there, no one wants to trade tombs.  I'd have thought that tomb building and sharing would be one of the more fun building activities.  Perhaps that's something we could do here.  How about a tomb-building competition or something?

That's an idea — not one that I'll incorporate into the official Tournament only because those challenges need to be scored with hard data for the world ranking. But, Aria might be interested in something like this for her ongoing Building Contests in the Contest section.

Actually, since this thread started, I've been thinking of having a go at tomb building. I've read the article in the guide and thought it might be fun as I've never tried it before.

Aria's got too much going on right now, I'm afraid.  We have our hands full with getting the Building Contests worked out.  It's too soon to try to work on a tomb exchange just yet.

[Metropolis Man]

Yeah, I understand, Pam. I wasn't implying that a tomb building contest would begin anytime soon. I was simply stating that Aria would probably oversee it at some point in the future.

Building a tomb isn't all that difficult. I usually build a basement full of traps (real deadly traps (you can get trapped forever)) and hide gems and the like down there. Once I also constructed a 4-level tomb-like basement with an Egyptian grave chamber at the bottom (beneath my normal everyday house). Can't show you it though, I'm not so much on the normal site. I downloaded Riverview ages ago, but now I have serious difficulties remembering even the name I used.

The first tomb I built was a "Vault" for my sims to put the stuff they collected, then I made a tomb I was planning on making when WA was released, a tomb beneath Sunset Valley's library. It was fun, but surely the official tombs were better. I tried searching for tombs too on the exchange, but only found an official one and two Chinese themed tombs (If you want I can post the links).

I was thinking that France lacks tombs in comparrison to Egypt and China, perhaps if this type of challenge is done, I hope we see some tombs featuring the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. Hope it's done!
