 ===Ancient Coins===

Sims with higher athletic skill levels find clearing rubble easier than other Sims and they don't use as much energy.

+To identify a pushable statue, hover your mouse over the statue. If the cursor comes with an asterisk (*), this means the statue is selectable. This statue can be moved.  Some statues may need to be Inspected before you will be allowed to move them.
 There are 2 main actions associated with a statue - push and pull. Of the selection menu, four options are available : push, push far, pull, and pull far. When selecting the far options, your Sim will push or pull the statue until they hit a wall or until you manually cancel the action. They will not stop automatically even if they trigger floor switches. When your cursor hovers on a side of a pushable statue, you will see a little arrow that denotes the direction you can push or pull that side in. There is no diagonal movement for statues; you can only move forwards or backwards, left or right.

-====Overview====
+===Types of Traps===
-Traps don't kill your Sims. However, they can injure your Sim. When a trap is activated it will have a particular effect on your Sim, depending on what trap you activate. Your Sim will receive a negative moodlet and will have to wait a given period of time before they want to do something.

-====Types of Traps====
+World Adventures comes with several different types of traps, each with their own unique effects.
-There are many types of traps. These include Fire, Poison Darts, Steam, and Electric traps.
+Using a Dive Well to get [[Game Help:Sims 3 Moodlets|Soaked]] will prevent the fire trap from burning your sim, but going around a tomb all soggy isn't that much fun.
-It is also possible to disarm traps using certain objects within the game. Pushing a statue on top of a trap sometimes disarms it. Inspecting holes in the wall or floors of the tomb sometimes trigger a hidden switch which will disarm a trap. Passing over an inactive fire or electric trap while soaked will leave a puddle that disables the trap.
+====Dart Traps====
-There are some traps your sim can disarm manually. Once a sim experiences the 'Fear' moodlet, however, they are temporarily incapable of disarming or attempting to cross any traps.
+Dart traps shoot darts at your sims.  Sims that get caught by a dart trap will fall asleep.
