if you have the world adventures expansion pack your sim can travel to china , egypt and france once there at the base camp you will see an adventure board  click on that and or your sim will get a phone call you'll get a pop up explaing the adventure you need to do for example oh kind stranger i need your help to find the family heirloom i lost you accept or reject if you accept then you report into the the person who needs the help complete the adventure you gain visa points keep doing adventures until you get visa level 3 then you buy a certificate of partnership of the special merchant who also sells items you can only buy from them and then once you have the certificate of partnership for china then you can stay for 14 sim days and buy a vacation home sometimes you start an adventure in china but part of the quest may send you to france or egypt you do adventures in each of the countries and get visa level 3 in all of them to buy homes in each country when you first travel your stay is 3 sim days the higher your visa level is the longer you can stay also in each of the countries check the book store as there are new recepies to learn and check the relic merchant shops and buy items of them you may find rare relics and keystones which are needed to unlock doors in tombs and the general store sells items you can't buy in the home world

traits which might come in handy for the adventureing

brave as the sim will have to put their hand in the inspect hole option and may end up with a handful  of bugs brave sims will just shake them off and carry on and disarm traps if you don't have the brave trait then if the sim gets scared you have to wait until the moodlet wears off

atheletic dont worry about weather you have that trait or not as athletics will start skilling in due to the adventures

if you choose the adventureous trait that sim can go back adventuring after 12 sim hours whereas an everday sim has to wait 24 sim hours

friendly or good sense of humor as your sim will need to be able to chat to the locals for some adventures so no point in having a loner or shy sim traits for that
