Brandon kept going off by himself, so I decided to let him do the Tomb of the Rock while Shawn was off looking for flame fruits. It didn't go so well for him.
Most people just get a bit of a backache when they lose a fight with a mummy, but Brandon actually got cursed.
(He did get burned, soaked and cursed in that order - unfortunately he never accepted that particular game challenge. Frustrating, because it's literally the only time in all these years that a Sim managed to do it!)
Shawn is off on other adventures. He wants to reach a maximum visa level by completing a lot of tombs and talking to a lot of locals.
Dexter, on the other hand, is fascinated with the noble art of snake charming.
He even takes a snake in a basket home with him.
Back home Shawn decided to get to know some of the local girls a bit better. He invited Tracie and Gina Bernard as well as Lori Samson. They had all recently become young adults.
Lori and Shawn really hit it off.
Dexter was enjoying his new toy, a King Cobra.
Brandon apparently took a different kind of souvenir home from Egypt. He was feeling strange, as if there was something ominous going on around him.
Nobody else felt anything strange in the air, though, so in the end he figured he imagined it.
To distract him, Shawn invited him and Judith to his next trip, to China.
Brandon felt a lot better in China, as if a curse had been lifted... He and Judith decided this was going to be their second honeymoon, while Shawn was off running errands for the locals.
The dragon cave continues to fascinate Sims, generation after generation...
Back home the weird feeling came back, though. It seemed to swerve around Brandon wherever he went.
And suddenly one evening he collapsed into a cloud of dust. Grim came to take him.
Brandon is my first Sim to actually die of the mummy curse. It's ridiculously easy to cure, but it's nice to know what happens if you don't. Even if it's at the expense of a pixel life. LOL!!

In the meantime Gwendolyn Adams decided to move out of the house. She's probably going to stay single, but she doesn't have to live with her family forever. She decided to buy a house in town and move there with the Bernard twins and Lori Samson. They're now a kind of 'Roomies' household - a place to go for single adults who don't want to live with their parents or siblings for the rest of their lives.
Michael Adams, who lives across the street, tried to cheer Judith up by giving her two of his many cats. It didn't really work, but it was a nice distraction.
Since the game (Twallan's Story Progression, to be exact) decided that Michael Adams and Layla Lufti were a perfect couple and made them get engaged, I made plans to move Layla in to the other Adams household. I needed to move out some of the pets to make room for an extra human.
Next up: getting Michael and Layla married! .
