Adventure: The Third Relic -- It isn't there!

[Nindigo]

2017. I'm now having this identical problem. But I have no other saves, so how do I get the relic and move on?

I have found a work-around. Simply cancel the quest and wait for it to be offered again - either as a pop-up opportunity or on the adventure board. Just be sure to have time to complete it before your vacation ends.

I had an opposite issue: the chest was shining, I put the relic in my inventory, I was about to leave the tomb.. But my adventure journal was telling me that I still needed to "find the relic of eternity". Whaaattt??! It's in my sim's unrealistically sized pockets! I cancelled the quest and am hoping it will come back to me, since it took me the better portion on 1 1/2 - 2 hrs to fully get through the great pyramid.
