Sims from my home world are in Egypt?
My two sims went to Egypt for a "Honeymoon" And I noticed two of their friends tagged along.I didn't invite them, but they show up in the panel as being there, and they are always part of the "Group O...

@puzzlezaddict - I'm not talking about the inner sanctums of beauty and ancient history that can still be found deep within the tomb levels and that still require swimming through dive portals and playing games with heavy statues, floor switches, and fire traps to get into even if they have already been looted. Those are sacred and should remain so.
But not entirely sure that I see any benefit or respectfulness to ancient cultures connected with leaving already explored (exploited) upper level tombs lay as they are, polluted with empty treasure chests, discarded instant camera and film wrappers, used but now useless keystones, empty dried food packaging, spent showers in a can, used discarded sleeping bags, and other forms of touristy litter. Instead, for the benefit of locals and visitors alike, we could have nice clean and safe underground venues for entertainment in those spaces and the Role Sim slots (mixologists, for example) can provide jobs for the locals who otherwise might not really have much in the way of income or skill gaining opportunities to speak of. Even something as innocuous as a locally owned Simbucks (coffee barista) franchise showing up on the central marketplace can be fine if it's tastefully done and blends in with its surroundings. A garish red and white porcelain tiled McSimBurger outlet in the middle of town with drastically obnoxious signage might be where I have to draw the line although even that does offer some opportunities for those inclined to join a (somewhat) culinary career that within the game at least is not entirely exploitative.
What else exactly are the locals supposed to do for activities beyond wandering around aimlessly between the pyramids all hours of the day and night for no apparent reason? I don't think I've noticed much in the way of televisions and computers in their houses as EA set them up although the power grid and infrastructure are there, there isn't even a public library in town that I can remember let alone a stadium, school, or anything that looks like a homeworld university. Yet they take to video game arcades, skee-ball, Internet cafes, and bistros as happily as any other sims with time to spare on their hands and on the gym/dance studio with basketball and soccer courts out back, they were lined up around the corner to get in from the day it opened.
Lighten up. :p
