ADVENTURE: Museum Mystery

[Schipperke]

After you have acquired the curator's remains from the museum basement and taken them to the cemetery, how do you get them into the chest?  My sim has opened the chest and taken out the keystone, but I can't figure out how to get him to put the curator's remains in the chest.  I don't want him to spend his remaining days carrying around the dead curator!

Just click on the chest and click "open."  The little box will pop up directly above your inventory and it will show as being empty. Scroll through your inventory until you find the remains. It should be at the bottom since it was a newly acquired item. Then just drag the remains into the empty box of the open chest and voila....they are in there.

Exactly what RockinRobin said and welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the help, but it doesn't work for me.  I kept trying to drag the bones to the chest and they kept bouncing back into the inventory.  I finally gave up on that adventure.

Sometimes you just gotta try a few times.....or maybe you're trying to put it in the wrong chest?

[Schipperke]

Well, I gave up on that adventure.  But now Sir James is in Egypt, trying and trying to put the bribe into the chest.  It's the same problem - no way I can get it to stick, it just keeps rebounding into his inventory.  There must be something (probably something obvious) I'm doing wrong, but what?  Maybe someone who's done it could describe the procedure for me, I'm at a loss.  Thanks again

Once you reach the computer room, click on the middle chest and choose to Open it.  Click the Take All button, then click the chest Open again.  At that point, you will have the chest open and empty and you should be able to drag the bribe into the chest.

Also, be sure you're dragging it into the open window part...not the picture of the chest. Make sure it's all the way in there and then let it go, it should stick.

RockinRobin, that's it!  I was trying and trying to drag it into the chest itself.  It never occurred to me to try to drag it into the open window part.  Worked like a charm!  Thanks much.

Glad I could help!
