Chapter 11 – Gustav’s Excellent AdventuresGustav has been having difficulty getting his visa points. China required 3 trips, and when he went to France with Bella, she was able to get adventures when he wasn’t. So Gustav decided to go to Egypt all by himself.
The first adventure Gustav received was a tour of the tombs for the Department of Tourism’s new brochure. Gustav figured people had already seen plenty of pictures of the pyramids and the Sphinx, so he just took this one of the Temple of Karnak.
His next task was to become an agent of Morcu. Before getting the papers out of the treasure chest, he put his athletic skills to work on opening a hidden door.
Gustav’s last task was to take a picture of a floor trap. Someone had told him there was one in the Sand Pyramid. While he was there, Gustav opened a sarcophagus and found a relic.
Gustav also got involved with a pair of young lovers. After running errands for them, he was quite relieved when he got his third visa point and was able to leave.
Upon returning home, he found that Dorian had finished the first half of his lifetime wish by reaching the highest level of martial arts.
Dorian had also found some more tiberium.
He went over to Kylee’s house to spend some quality time with Aaron. Aaron has become hot-headed, as well as being a couch potato and virtuoso.
Bebe has been taking over the job of teaching little Simis how to walk.
She’s also been teaching him proper dental hygiene.
With two-thirds of his visas acquired, Gustav decided to go back to France. He booked a 6-day trip, figuring that would give him plenty of time to pick up the last visa point, which was already halfway completed. He figured wrong. While he waited for someone in France to require his services, Gustav went hunting for relics. He did some excavation.
He explored a tomb near one that he had already searched.
He checked out another sarcophagus.
This one had an occupant.
Gustav waited four days before he got a phone call – someone wanted a bottle of wine and then a meal. Then he had to wait another two days until someone else reported hearing funny noises in the museum. Gustav had to return home before he could investigate, but he came back to France as soon as possible. It was a relief to complete his lifetime wish at last (and before Dorian, too! -- not that they're competitive or anything).
Jocasta gave her little brother his last bottle.
A few hours later it was time for Simis to have his birthday.
He is friendly now, in addition to being absent-minded and a heavy sleeper.

(Note: Seasoned Traveler is very lucrative in terms of happiness points. Besides 60,000 for completing the wish, there’s a possibility that your sim will get the wish to reach level 1 visa for 1500 points and level 3 for 15,000. The Adventure Boards do quit working occasionally, but eventually your sim may get a phone call. I had Gustav make friends with the locals in France, which may have helped.)
