Steel bladder is essential in some tombs where there's no bathroom.

I've never had a problem with my sim needing to use the bathroom while exploring tombs. I assumed the need was muted since so many of the tombs don't have a bathroom. I have had a problem where there are too many bathrooms, like in the Landgraab chateaux. LoL.

I recently purchased the steel bladder reward for my ghosthunter...and she hasn't used the toilet since, and I've been playing for several sim days, if not weeks.

The steel bladder makes it so your Sim never has to go again.  That's why most of my Sim houses don't even have toilets (and it may be part of the reason their guests never stay very long).

Be sure you don't serve drinks at your parties then!

@Candy: I wish you luck! I love WA and still send my sim on adventures, leaving Daddy at home with the kids (what are husbands for? Lol).

Exactly.  That's why the first thing on my list when preparing for a party is 1. Buy a toilet.

For me , the absolutely best thing you could do for yourself while traveling is take the Motive Mobile. I'm not sure if it came with Generations or the 1.22 patch (as I got them at the same time) but you can play your adventuring sim continuously. During the longer tombs, however, you may have to emerge and take a 5 foot trip and then return back to the tomb. But this, in my opinion, is the best way to get to a level 3 Visa in a short amount of time.

Sorry to say; but, on that part I cheat with teletransport. Sometimes the distances wear out your sim.
Best way to get to Visa 3 fast is buy the opportunistic reward. It doubles your chances for the opportujnity a,d after 2 or 3 tombs (depending on the interactions), your Visa 3.

Well, it's best to use if you don't cheat.

I like it because you have to run around everywhere and you may as well max your needs while you're at it. And driving is frequent enough that I never have to make my sim do anything other than strictly adventuring.

And wow, I must be playing wrong or something. I always get the opportunistic reward, especially in the dynasties, and I don't get travel opportunities very often. In my most recent game, when I traveled with the opportunistic reward, I still had to check the sign all the time and it took me 7 days and lots and lots of opportunities to get to level 3 Visa. Then again, my sim wasn't adventurous, so that may be why it took so long. Adventurous is always a good trait to give sims who do the adventuring though. Does anybody know just what the difference is? How much quicker is it for an adventurous sim to get to Visa 3 than a non-adventurous sim?

[MoMoll]

I don't get trips from the opportunistic award; but, when you complete an adventure with the award you get increased Visa points and hit Visa 3 faster.

I also have a question related to the original question #3: If you have two adults and two toddlers in a family, and the adults go on a vacation, will the toddlers be taken by the social worker?
Sorry if I shouldn't be asking a question in someone else's thread.

You need to get a babysitter. It'll cost $75. Basically, you won't be gone any time at all as far as the toddlers are concerned, but you'll still need a sitter. I think the game only gives you two choices:  stay home or get a sitter.
