- karritzNew SpectatorI've had it since release and have used it often. There are a few bugs that were introduced by patches or later updates but there are ways of getting around them. Sometimes it is necessary to cheat a teleport to get past a broken door or hallway (only 2 of them that I know of).
I have a whole playlist almost devoted to this expansion. It still has a few episodes to do before it's finished. I made my sims collect every tomb collection object in each of the three worlds. They have only 2 still to get and they are in France.
There are a lot of very useful items introduced to assist with tomb raiding such as shower in a can. The Eyes of Horus are also useful if you can find them. Plus tents and some nice recipes and martial arts and photography. Lots of things that can be used in general play. - I have 90-95%of my different saves going there. Even if you don't want to do the adventures, there are stores, new books, new cooking dishes to make, new clothes, build buy can be used anywhere, new skills, new songs to learn, new traits, new CAS, and loads of new people to meet. You can also use them as vacation only. I enjoy having my Sims go there and sell what I don't want to keep when they return. It's one of my most used packs. It also has new CAS eyes ECT for China.

Yes, WA was not universally well-received when it was released. This perhaps might not have happened if it had instead followed Ambitions or maybe Late Night in the release schedule. Players were disappointed in the quest scenarios, didn't like having their gameplay directed to them by task/goal oriented scenarios already defined for them even if it always was optional to play through them, and were very concerned that WA was going to set the tone for the rest of the expansions in that regard. That of course didn't happen and I don't think we know if it was ever really the plan for it to happen.
Man, what a mess that was! lolNot choosing WA as the first pack to install now certainly softens that feeling or makes it disappear entirely for players just coming into or rediscovering the game. It's amazing how over ten years of perspective can change things. :)
Ain't that the truth. Perspective is everything.
Since I play on normal life span I don't always have enough time for my sims to accomplish everything I want them to so I use the time away from time of WA and UL to level skills, build wealth, acquire 25 acquaintances, write books, etc. With WA I sometime have my sims do the quests, especially if I want them to have a vacation home at one of the destinations.- Joanne_SnowRising TravelerAbsolutely, it's a ton of fun :) Very meaty pack with three beautiful destinations, and the exploration - for a sims game - is actually really well executed.
- I love WA. There is just so much to it, even if you don't go tomb exploring.

What do you do with the Eyes of Horus? I haven't tried them yet.
They teleport you to the other. They not only can be used to solve at least one of the dungeon puzzles, but they can be used just for convenience as non-played sims leave them alone. Put one at your favorite fishing spot and leave the other at home and you can teleport between the two at will, for instance.- karritzNew Spectator

A thing to remember about the Eyes of Horus is you can pick up the one you are teleporting from and teleport to the other eye and then go elsewhere and place the one you are carrying so you don't have to just pick a single spot to place them and then have to leave them there for the rest of the game.
I've never had them break and require fixing which is something that happens all the time for me when I get the teleportation pad lifetime reward. I never bother getting that lifetime reward now though. It's just too annoying. - Yes, of course it is... but then again that's how I feel about all the other EPs and SPs too :). And all the Store content as well.... :smile:
- Sigzy_29New SpectatorYes! WA is an amazing EP. Very underrated at the time when it released.
