To summon a mummy... and to cure it

[PJSim]

But shouldn't my canops be destroyed then?

Yes, the canopic jars should be gone and you should have a mummy in your house immediately. Or nothing.

What's happened to your jars sounds like a bug.

Yes, you are absolutely correct on the mummy, except the gender, my female sim made a mummy and it was a male mummy and he to decided he wanted to dance, really funny.  I did however move him out and he moved into that little underground house on the edge of town, good place for a mummy.  On the second night my sim slept in the cursed one, the little message came up about my sim turning into a mummy and so I decided not to sleep in that one anymore. I have a fence around it so they will not sleep in it anymore.

A little off topic. You know, there's this one thing with mummies I really don't like. For every newly loaded game of Sims, any Sims who see a mummy for the first time(in a load) will stop what they're currently doing to express their dislike for the mummy. A pain when you have to micromanage your other Sims all over again. Pfft.

Aaaannnnd back to topic, actually I don't recall actually needing Canopic Jars when I made my mummy. Sure, there were Canopic Jars lying around in the house as display. All I did was have my Sim sleep through 2 full bars of energy in the Cursed Sarchophagus of Kings.

Yes, there are two ways of acquiring a mummy:
1. Put in five canopic jars into a sarcophagus and a mummy appears. This apparently does not have a 100% success rate.
or
2. Get a sim to sleep a little while in the cursed sarcophagus of kings and he/she will transform into a mummy.

Note that in method 1 you don't transform your sim into a mummy, you get a whole other mummy!

Owh, that explains a lot.

And, btw, congrats on your promotion, swede.

Yes, with the Cursed sarcophagus, you don't need canopic jars.  Your Sim has to sleep in it three nights in a row (or a certain total number of hours).  I didn't like it much when my Sim turned into a mummy and would never play that game again.

Turn Your Sim into a Mummy
This method requires you to assemble a Cursed Sarcophagus of Kings. Sleeping inside one of them will raise your Sim's athletic skill. The "drawback" here, is that your Sim will eventually be cursed and turn into a mummy. It takes about 16 hours of sleeping to cause this. The way to reverse this is to sleep in a Blessed Sarcophagus for 8 or more hours

If this helps anyone!

Awww Pam, think of the challenge of turning mummy back into sim again.

It says in my Quote from the guide -

[Pam]

In my particular mummy situation, I didn't have the Blessed sarcophagus and my adventurer was the one who turned into a mummy!  I just didn't have the energy to try to turn him back.  Lol!

[samoht04]

Well you could use a little bit of buydebug?  Why did you turn your adventurer into a walking Toilet Paper Sim?

[Pam]

Nah.  That game is long gone anyway with my reinstall.

[samoht04]

Having one of my wierd though moments.

 'How does a Mummy have a bath?  '

[Pam]

They shower or bathe, but then they are soaking wet for hours because their bandages don't dry.

[samoht04]

Well that explains a lot, I tried using the testingcheats and buydebug way of sleeping in Cursed Sarcophagus (sp?) but got bored so I don't really bother playing with mummies.
