After reading dozens of posts on various forums, it seems as if there's a bug in this adventure. Evidently, if you miss the "Plead with..." option which is supposedly available when you click the doorway when you first arrive at the sphinx; and instead (as a "veteran explorer" - DOH!) jump immediately to examine, enter, etc. and don't invoke (or even notice) the "Plead with..." action until you are in the final room, you get cleansed of the curse, but never make it out of the adventure. So now my SIM who went through a pile of effort to get cursed in the first place because he was just too darned efficient at kicking mummy butt, is now stuck with a ""Plead" to the Sphinx" action he can't complete.
So here's the question - Is there any way at all around this? Is there anything I can do, reset, etc. to let me finish this adventure? Or am I stuck and will have to wait until I start a new character?
Unrelated question - or maybe more of a muse - Is it just me, or are there more than a few known (and fairly old) issues that EA simply doesn't bother fixing? Being new to the SIMs, I just don't get why what appears to be a profitable franchise apparently gets neglected. Maybe it's because impending "newer, bigger, better" release (and new revenue stream) is the focus?
