The fact that this was the FIRST expansion pack says a lot about how much more the Sims 3 gave us than the Sims 4. We didn't get Jungle Adventures for literally years after release, and it was lackluster at best - Sims 3 gave us 3 open world locations from around the world, and filled it with tombs, puzzles, special items to collect and people to meet, and what did Sims 4 give us? A closed off world that you couldn't live in (now you can since the Snowy Escape patch I do believe, tombs and puzzles that you can complete in less than 10 minutes, and barely any sims to meet at any location. I recently bought this because I now have the money to afford it (I was 7 when it came out, and it took me a good hour to finish the Langraab Chateau completely, and the Egypt quests and tombs took me hours - I didn't even SCRATCH the surface with what you can do. The only gripe I have with this expansion is that you cannot live here. Then again, it was 2009 so I get why not, and also vacation worlds feel pretty cool in Sims 3, enough that I'm fine with only being there temporarily.

In defense of this game, it is actually one of my favorite expansions, believe it or not. It is probably because I'm a big history fanatic and I just love creating my own archaeologist Sim and collecting treasures. Treasure hunting is actually pretty profitable if you devote your sim into it. Of course, you will probably have to get a job to save up some money before you start going on adventures, but once you get the wheel turning, selling treasures could get you by. I'm hesitant to say that it's my favorite expansion since it doesn't really add much to the overall game and it's definitely not for everyone. If you don't find the archaeologist lifestyle pleasing, this expansion is actually pretty lame. However, if this kind of thing does appeal to you, I would definitely recommend it.

It's June 30 2021 as I'm writing this.
Sims 4 sucks. I refuse to play it.
I play Sims 3 with Generations, Late Night and World adventures. I would play with Island Paradise too but even in 2021, it still glitches so badly that it is completely unplayable.
I would have bought World Adventures just for Sim Fu, the martial Arts skill, but it adds transfiguration, Pengu's Axe, new plants for the gardens, gems, exotic metals, new types of fish, 3 new town maps and dozens of adventures. Of course, I never paid anything like $35 US for any of my expansions. And I still love playing this game.

I loved it. for the first player. The weakness with this expansion was that the objects were unique, so once the first sim completed a tomb, there wasn't much point in anyone else doing it. It would have made much more sense for each tomb to be instanced to each sim. But like I said, I loved it. Yes, it was different than any Sims expansion before or since, but to me, it was like playing a Bethesda game with an ultra-customizable character. Great fun!

It took 10 years but I was able to get this expansion for $5 during an EA black friday sale! I remember liking this expansion, and I guess I still do. It just feels like it got a bit old after the first few trips. I haven't played it recently and since I'm doing a legacy run through it'll be interesting to see if the vacation spots change or if it's just the same thing on loop.

I never had a computer to play sims
on as a kid so I only ever played the base game of sims 3 and I always loved it. Now I have sims on Mac and I-m slowly getting all the dlc-s. I can truly say this game will ALWAYS be better than Sims 4. So many memories, and in my case, new experiences! Sims 3 still is still the best sims game ever.

Sims 3 is finally playable on my computer with the 64 bit version. I still have most of the expansions from when I was a kid. Honestly I didn-t know they were so expensive since my family was so broke yet they always bought me the expansions around christmas or birthday. It makes me appreciate them a lot more

He said this EP was only worth $25 when it adds 3 new worlds with hundreds of lots, 3 new skills, several items you can interact with, new traits, new lifetime wishes, mummies, etc.
Then Island Living should cost $10 because it literally came with just 14 lots, mermaids, a boat, a jet ski and suntanning--

Yeah. about that -seems to be no sign of local law enforcement-
I went on a sim honeymoon with my sim man and my sim self, we went to France of course. We decided to go down by the river, no one around, mind you- and I had him streak. Cops showed up! ---- it was beautiful

I've been watching all these Sims vloggers talk about how much better Sims 3 was and etc. But the moment you mentioned progressing plotlines and interacting with characters and levels and having an actual point to collectibles, I'm like. ohhhhh. I see now.
