ScorpioMaurus, could you please tell me where you got the lipstick in first pic?
NP it's from TSR by a creator called Lorieen (Glossy Lipstick by Lorieen) and it's a free one so no having to look around PMBD or anything
As for the Egyptian sim her lipstick is by Katelys (Lipstick 05) and is also free just in case anyone was wondering.
Thank you :)

Your welcome, I had originally put links but then I thought I remembered something about not putting TSR links here. Not sure but I hope you found it okay.
The more I play this game the more I love it, The food spoilage and the Sims Cough Drops not working is certainly annoying but Oh well the adventures IMO are so much fun. I haven't been able to defeat a mummy yet I guess that requires more strength or something. Since my sim has been adventuring nonstop that doesn't leave much time for working out. However in the last day she's acquired around 30,000 Simoleons worth of relics and stones so it's a great way to make money without cheating.

To echo stuff that's been said, WA seems fun. I got fed up with Sims 2 after OFB, so I never got the Bon Voyage thing.
The "adventures" part of WA is fun. Your Sims get a different treadmill to mess around on, plus stuff to collect in inventory for that treadmill (tent, portable food, shower in a can, etc). Solving the little adventures is fun so far, although pretty much simple & not very complicated in terms of gameplay. It's not Tomb Raider, and it's hardly Indiana Jones, but it is something to build your Sims' bank account without having to send them away to the Work treadmill.
Time doesn't seem to pass when you're at a different World location. In the new game I set up for WA, one of my Sims left her husband at home to go on a vacation (prompted by a new type of Opportunity in the regular Sims neighborhood). While she was doing her thing in Sim-France (whatever the name is), her age clock advanced. When she returned, her husband was a couple Sims days younger than her (the 3-day length of her vacation).
Perhaps this kind of neuters the Sims 3 benefit of other households aging with your Sims since you have the full range of Sims interactions with the Townies in Sim-BFE & whatnot... so grumpy Sim-grandpa's French mistress from decades ago probably never ages a day unless she comes to visit grandpa. *Le sigh*
It's not a huge bump up on your core Simsville experience since so much of the actual content is in the overseas stuff, but it does add a different variety of gameplay. I just wish it were more tightly integrated with the rest of the Sims 3 universe instead of shunting off a bunch of crap elsewhere. Of course, the benefit of it all being elsewhere is that I can still run it on this crappy laptop with no real video card.
/I want my Sim has to learn Sim-fu in order to fight those Mummies!

What's with the dude watching the fight? It's like he's waiting for some hair-pulling and shirt tearing...or some mud wrestling 8)

Okay now I have a question. My sim is level 10 in Martial Arts and when she fights there are green motion lines when they spar, Does that have to do with the fact that I have my Visual Effects on high or that she's level 10? Because I don't see those lines in this vid.
