It Are A Trap - what affects your chances of success?

God, that's hilarz! Wipes tears from eyes...

If it were possible, that would be a wonderful addition to the game. EA has gotten far too serious with the Sims 3.

Akadai:
I believe disarming traps is based on handiness, seeing that a sim got a handisness skillup after disarming one. Some traps are impossible to disarm by your sim alone, even with max skill. The hidden doors and statues are based on athletic (speed at which you move them). I'm not entirely sure which skill is used to cross a trap, but it might be athletic or logic. One of my sims I took through a tomb just happened to have all 3 of these skills very high or maxed. Instead of crossing over one of the traps, he praticially flipped over it :o so it made me believe it might be linked to athletic (no he did not have martial art skills, but he sure could have fooled me)

It would make sense that logic 'should' be used for something, but since when has EA ever been logcial?

Hmm this causes a problem then, because it was the steam vents in the floor trap, not one of the stone ones you step on and there were no switches, panels or statues nearby and no way to go around it.



And if there are no switches panels or statues... Then try "Attempt to cross" I've had to do that whenever I've hit advanced tech. traps. I've never noticed it fail. And if it does... o.O Its water, your sims will just "Get soaked" and move on...

Greyform:
Traps are more of an obstacle than a threat. If you don't have the skills to pass them, all you can do is skill up and come back. I would say it is based on athletic whether you can "attempt to cross" or not. And kawaiimiyo, failing at the attempt means you still haven't gotten passed the trap, so it's still in the way, harmless or not. The sim is too stupid to just get wet and keep going.

funnykid:
Sims can drown in pools while swimming, burned to death while cooking, or get electrocuted while fixing a light fixture. But they can't die from rubber-melting steam while exploring supposedly ancient, dangerous tombs?

I'm disappointed. :(
