In The Sims 3: World Adventures, your Sim can travel to China, Egypt, or France and explore each destination through adventures, relic hunting, and tomb exploration. As they complete activities in a destination, they gain Visa Points. Earning enough points increases your Sim’s Visa Level, unlocking longer stays, exclusive rewards, and even the ability to purchase a vacation home.
What Is Visa Level?
A Sim’s Visa Level represents how well-known and trusted they are in a particular foreign country. Each world (Al Simhara, Champs Les Sims, and Shang Simla) tracks Visa Level separately. The levels range from 0 to 3:
- Level 0: New visitor
- Level 1: Short extension on trip time
- Level 2: Medium extension and access to more merchant items
- Level 3: Longest vacation stay and ability to purchase a vacation home
How to Increase Visa Level in The Sims 3
To increase your Sim’s Visa Level, you need to earn Visa Points. Here’s how to do that efficiently:
- Complete Adventures
Use the Adventure Board at your base camp to take on missions. Each completed task awards Visa Points. Missions often involve exploring tombs, gathering items, or helping locals. - Explore Tombs
Solving puzzles and uncovering hidden areas provides rewards and contributes to Visa Point progress. Many tombs are tied to adventure chains for maximum efficiency. - Make Friends with Locals
Some quests involve building relationships. Talking, helping, and interacting with citizens can lead to quests that reward more Visa Points. - Collect Relics and Treasures
While not directly tied to Visa Points, collecting and selling rare items can support travel-related Lifetime Rewards that help you progress faster.
Tips to Level Up Faster
- Use the Adventurous trait: Sims with this trait gain Visa Points more quickly and enjoy traveling more.
- Buy the Prepared Traveler Lifetime Reward: This extends trip duration by three days, giving you more time to earn Visa Points per visit.
- Focus on high-reward adventures: Prioritize chains that offer multiple parts for the most efficient point gain.
Once you reach Visa Level 3 in a location, you unlock the ability to purchase a vacation home and stay for the full length allowed. For more tips on boosting your Sims’ skills while abroad, check out Sims 3: How to Cheat Skills.
