Am I missing something
Hi everyone, I am playing World Adventures. My current adventure is the nectary in France. I have been asked to go to Egypt and obtain a gem, this I have done, the gem is a ruby. Upon returning t...

@BillFlowerpot This adventure chain is a bit buggy in multiple ways. I'd suggest simply quitting without saving and playing this last part over again.
Thank you Puzzlezaddict for taking the time to replay. I had already replayed the quest from the point at which I travel to France with the ruby in my inventory, and from going to Egypt to obtain the gem. I have even replayed the quest from the the point at which I accept the quest from the notice board. The result is the same, and the game play is the same. I think that it is skipping some parts.
When I go to the nectary and report in I am asked to find a bottle of nectar in the cellars of the nectary.
When I have found a bottle of nectar that fulfills the requirements I am told to report in with the nectar.
When I report in I am given a key and told to explore the secret/hidden chamber. Upon accepting the quest and before I have a chance to use the key I am to report my findings. I am then given the next part of the quest, to find some beetles and go to Egypt. Note, on one gameplay I found the beetles and returned home then on to Egypt, without exploring the secret chamber. On another gameplay I explored the secret chamber before collecting the beetles and going to Egypt. {Here I think the game skips and takes it that I have found the three holes before I have in fact}.
I fulfilled the two parts of the quest while in Egypt and was able to return with home and on to France with the ruby.
When I reported in I was given the next part of the quest. To examine the holes and see if the ruby fit and the ruby is no longer in my inventory. Upon accepting the quest and before I had chance to do anything I got the next part of the quest that was to reexamine the area around the three holes and see if anything had changed.
On each gameplay nothing had changed and when I tried to talk to the nectary owner, there was nothing in the pie chart of options for discussion in connection with the quest. I am left with a quest that can not be completed. I was some time ago able to complete the Nectary tombs without problem, that was when I played from DVD installation of the game, but this time, digital install, I'm stuck.
@BillFlowerpot Do you have NRaas Traveler installed? That fixes some issues with adventures and traveling, although not everything. There's no reason to repeat the entire adventure chain either, just the last step that worked to trigger the one that's not working.
There are two other options you can use here if you don't mind cheating. One is to make another door, or edit the existing door so your sim can open it. Then go grab the treasure and don't worry about not completing the tasks. Since your sim has to be at level 3 visa to even start this adventure chain, you're only losing some money and ancient coins, both of which are plentiful.
The other option is to use NRaas DebugEnabler to manually assign the next step in the quest, to bypass this one that isn't working. The problem is that this approach often erases the data about the other adventures your household has completed in that world. It's as if DE erases all adventure-related data for a given world, then assigns the appropriate visa level and the particular adventure.
Point is, both have their drawbacks, but either one would get you some of what you wanted.
Finally, I don't know whether this would help, but you could cancel the quest and reassign the most recent step, or rather the one before, with NRaas MasterController (MC > Basic > Opportunity: By Category > Adventure > [name]). A just-cancelled adventure typically doesn't appear as an option right away, so it would be best to use MC to assign a different quest, then cancel that and look for the original one again. This doesn't erase previous progress (except for the fact that you completed the task you're assigning), unlike DebugEnabler. But you might run into the original problem yet again.
Thank you Puzzlezaddict for your response. Sorry for the delay in my return for I wanted to test my memory. I got out my old computer and played the game with only the base game and World Adventures, the version is 2.0.86.002002, (CD copy). I was able to play without problem and it was as I had remembered. In the game that I first posted, I do have several Nraas mods including Master Controller, Master Controller Cheats and Traveler. I have tried breaking into locked areas of tombs in prior games and the result has never been satisfactory. Following you suggestion I broke into the first area. I was able to go though the whole tomb. However, I was not able to find the next link in the chain. So I broke into next area. Again I was able to go though the whole tomb. I was not able to find the aim of the quest. In order to make sure I had not left any area undiscovered I use the cheats to gain buy/built mode and looked over the whole area. I have not as of yet tried to reassign steps in the chain. I have had a look at the list and am not sure which I should pick. Also as with the repeated play throughs many steps are jumped, any reassigned step may simply be jumped again.
