I want to know if the dangerous traps and tomb items will be available in build mode so we can configure our own dangerous lots! Whether by having them outright in the catalog or needing to use a cheat. I enjoyed using all those items in World Adventures and want the same ability in this pack!

Ack. I hadn't seen yours, @catloverplayer ! Or I think I overlooked it because it said "Speculation". I'm happy to let you do both Speculation and SimGuru quotes if you like! I'm pretty busy, so I'd be relying on you for a lot of links anyway. Maybe I should just delete this one?? Your call on that! I'm fine either way. Let me know which you'd rather :)

It's in the GP forum. I'll let you take this over though if you want to. Just copy all the info from my thread and I'll delete.

I think I got everything? But if it works better on the Mods' side to leave yours as the one, I'm fine with that :) It might be easier to merge into yours anyway and I don't mind letting someone else run this :) Maybe we can let them figure it out.

I think it was previously mentioned by SimGuruNinja that there are new aspirations.

And yay! We actually do get an archaeology skill!
