From Me:

I created this walk through to show everyone how to get through the missions with tombs. I didn't make this for people to ask me how to fix their technical difficulties. My game has NO glitches which means all the missions have worked fine for me, and everything was where and how it was supposed to be. PLEASE stop asking me how to fix these issues with your game.

Black Bag Job (Infiltrating the resistance HQ)

Mission: Infiltrate the resistance's headquarters to find out information.

Turn the stereo on to find a clue and reveal the secret staircase. (If it is already on, turn it off then back on again.)

Flush the toilet for a second clue.

Read a book of the shelf for the finial clue.

Go down the stairs.

Stand on the floor switches in this exact order. 2-3-4-1. If you mess up the switch under the red light is the reset switch.




When the puzzle is finished the light will turn green. Continue to the next floor.

Stand on the switches in this exact order. 6-1-7


Continue to the next floor.

Stand on the switches in this exact order. 8-2-4-9



Continue to the next floor.

Click the computer and choose "Hack" to complete this mission. Collect the treasures from the chests, then report in to your boss.

This room is just a bathroom.

  4. I got the first clue and after I saw that you said flush I got the second clue, never got the book clue though, says there's nothing in the shelf my sim can read. Another tip, it might help people to remember which stone is which by realizing that the tomb layout is that of a phone.

  5. Thanks for this, you've done yet another great job. This was probably the hardest one I've come across.

  6. I wonder who's phone number it is.

  8. there wasn't a book in the shelf for me either but i rested on the bed and it opened the door
    after i unclogged the toilet

  9. Just a tip - each code is given only once, so you need to have something to note them down on.

    By the way, my sim also couldn't read anything in the bookshelf - I'll try some other things now that I know that there are alternatives.

  11. Not sure why but the 1st one is right the 2nd one is 817 for me and the 3rd one is 2843 i'm unsure if thats cause im from the uk so my keyboard is diff?

  12. Thanks finding the switch has been driving me mad - used every item in the house except the stereo!

  13. My computer was in serious danger of being thrown out the window after I spent forever trying to figure out in what order I had to stand on the floorswitches!!! This site is a godsend!

  14. Thanks so much! Not only is my Sim's vacation about to end (she is stuck on the 3rd puzzle) but since she tried camping in the HQ basement, all of the household memebers rushed down there to tell her that she was behaing inappropriatly. This wouldn't be a problem except they can't seem to get out of their own basement! Four of them have already died and my Sim's friend and her little son are still trapped down there and on the verge of starving. (My Sim has plenty of dried food and fruit in her inventory). And since my Sim's trip is about to end, if she didn't complete it before returning home, and her friend and all her housemates died, then my Sim would not be abel to complete the adventure on her next Egyptian trip! (And she already had one Adventure cancelled when her contact died of old age!)
    This has been a gigantic help to a gigantic headache! So this not only helped my Sim on her adventure, but it will save the lives of two innocent Sims! LOL

  15. Thanx Soooooooooooooo Much If It Wasn't For This Site Wouldn't Have Been Able To complet James Vanghn's Command Center.:D

  16. I didn't realize thats what you did when the numbers popped up so I had to figure it out myself.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Having this walkthrough makes the game so much more enjoyable!!!

  18. thanks, been stuck for a while!

  19. this sure looks great but the name of the house would sure help, as i have checked all the houses and cant find one that looks like your screenshots :(

    ReplyDelete
  20. The name of the house is only valid at first, because the Al Simharan neighbourhood evolves as well.

    If you'd say the camp is northeast of the city, the house you're looking for is the northwestern-most one.

    Also I'd like to notice the order of the switches is irrelevant, they all switch certain doors, and don't interfere with eachother.

  21. I never even got the oportunity for this mission- I had been sending my sim around to meet the people there, and it said there happened to be an old command center there so I decided to try and firgure out where and how to get to it. I remembered reading somewhere that if you turn the radio on and off that a clue might appear (I have no idea where I read that) and did and and got the numbers, but didn't write them down. I found the stair case without flushing the toilet or reading the book(s), and somehow managed to step on the right foot pannels on accident before getting stuck on the second floor trying to crack the floor pannels. Haha, I got so frustrated I decided to look up help for this, and had no idea it was an opportunity! Thanks so much for the help!(:

  22. The whole household died on me because I slept in the basement and they kept and eye on me starving to death - I was then kicked out and had to move in another family to continue the adventure

  23. Thank you so much for this I had been stuck on this puzzle for 5 sim days cause I could only find one clue

    ReplyDelete
  24. Thank you! I didn't even know there were codes to look for. you're a lifesaver!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I passed everything, and came to the computer, but when i pressed ''hack'' it just said ''Scarlett has hacked a total 0$ into the household funds'' and i can't complete the mission, no matter how many times i hack. What's wrong?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Scarlett, if you're in the correct house where you drop the mummatomium (sp?) there is a hidden room at the back of the room youre in, with a computer that you can hack to complete the mission.

  32. How to get 617 out of 6 tiles?

    ReplyDelete
  33. It's set up like a number pad. Just look at the pictures if you don't get it.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I gotta ask, how the HELL do they expect you to figure out you have to mess with the house (like turn the stereo on/off etc)?

    ReplyDelete
  35. Sorry, the house where? Near where.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Thank you so much. The bookshelf wouldn't let me read anything so I'm so glad you had this walkthrough. Thanks again.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Thanks a lot...this really helped me...but guys....chances are u will enter another household for this mission....but u have to do all this in the Lufti household...

    ReplyDelete
  38. Yeah, your definitely the man. I had to leave Egypt then return but forgot who's house. The screen shots of the woman turned a lights on, LUFTI!! Thanks, again!

    1. Yea, I can see the phone now. I couldn't get anything to read, so if it wasn't for this walkthrough I would never have been able to do it.

  39. If it makes a difference, the order you step on the pads doesn't really matter. Each pad always toggles the same set of doors, so if you misstep, just step on the same pad again to reverse your mistake.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I choose Hack and it says always "as hacked a total 0$ into the household funds". I can't finish my mission!

    1. Yes, I have the same problem. I managed to open the doors (Vaughns? Security System) and am now in a room with several computers. One of them has the option to hack it but when I do nothing happens. The mission isnt't solved. Do I maybe need to be a hacker to be able to do this? I didn't find other computers except this one in the Lufti house where I had an "Hack" option. *cries*

      Delete
    2. It's weird... I did it once don't know how. The hacking option appeared with a colour and he did it. But after hours of trying. I don't understand. I'm having again the same problem... :S

    3. Currently having this problem...I know this is an old thread but would like to know if there was ever a solution for this.

  46. Generally I like to solve my own puzzles, but this one was a real stumper for me. I have had several highly experienced Sims3 try and fail this mission that had not failed other difficult missions with some work. Thank YOU for your clear instructions,it worked! I will be back when I hit the next roadblock to my fun!

  54. ive hacked the computer and nothing happened!!! whats am I doing wrong

    ReplyDelete
  55. I can't ever enter the house because in my game Layla Lufti is the only one that lives there and she is always working at the market so I can't enter the house. How do I get past that? I can't finish the adventure because there is never anyone home.

    ReplyDelete
  56. What do I do if I messed up and accidentally closed all the doors on the third level? I can't stand on them again. I tried traveling home and then returning to Egypt. I tried turning the stereo on/off, flushing toilet, reading book... everything. Help please! Is there a way to reset the whole thing?
