Description

Players can now experience some of the most exciting and varied jobs. In The Sims 3 Ambitions, players can choose to hunt down vengeful spirits as the ghost hunter, invent brilliant and potentially destructive gadgets as an inventor, craft glorious masterpieces as a sculptor, and solve riveting cases by any means necessary as an investigator with dozens of cases to solve and numerous clues to find.

Additionally, players will be able to change the look and feel of their town by becoming an architect and directly affecting the neighborhood around them leveraging Build and Buy mode. The stylist career and new tattoo system allow players to make over their Sim neighbors in fashionable or catastrophic ways. For the first time, players will be in charge of how their Sims' career progresses and decide if they will work for good or evil, pursue creative endeavors or technical affairs, climb to the top quickly, or be a slacker. The future of a Sims' success or failure is entirely in the hands of the player.

Features:
  • For the first time ever, you control your Sim’s actions and interactions while they’re on the job.
  • Be a hero or mess with the neighbors as a firefighter, private investigator, doctor, ghost hunter, and more!
  • Choose how your Sim’s career progresses will they work for good or evil, pursue creative endeavors, rise to success as a mogul, or shirk responsibility as a slacker?
  • Your Sim’s on-the-job choices now change their town and affect other Sims as well. Modify the town’s structure as an architect or set neighborhood fashions as a stylist.
  • Enjoy all-new skills and activities! Master the arts of inventing, sculpting, and tattooing, and use your skills to earn Simoleons.

Review by Toni on 17th June, 2010
5 stars "Lots of Fun to be had, here!"

I have to admit, I am a fan of the Sims. I've purchased every single base game, every single expansion pack, every single stuff pack, and have even shelled out for store items. While fun to play, some of the expansion packs (particularly for Sims 2) were a little lacklustre… and I was pleasantly surprised by World Adventures, the first expansion pack for Sims 3.

I was even MORE pleasantly surprised with Ambitions. I admit, I love it. I really do. I played it to death the first weekend I had it (which happened to be the long weekend, so, yay!) and I fell in love with Twinbrook – definitely the cutest, funnest, bestest town yet – the houses in the swamp are just awesome.

I love the jobs! They are fun, quirky, several of them even give you the opportunity to let your creative juices flow (for good, or for evil!), and they give us something that until now, we've not been able to enjoy… going to work with our Sims. If you've been wondering about this pack, and whether or not you think it's worth the Simoleons, I seriously have to recommend it.

Definitely the most fun I have had with Sims for quite a long time!

Review by Oliver on 3rd December, 2010
4 stars "Not a great expansion, but still fun."

Unlike previous Sims expansions, this one lets you visit your creations to work and make interesting career choices. I enjoyed it, but it could have been just a wee bit better. If you are a die-hard Sims fan, it's a must buy; But if you don't play it too often you can give it a miss until a better expansion shows up.

Review by Bevan on 11th September, 2010
5 stars "Awesome"

This is an excellent edition to the sims family, you get to place fire stations, salons, convient stores etc and you can change jobs to become a firefighter or hair dresser etc.

Review by Emma on 25th August, 2010
5 stars "AMAZING"

Bored of waiting the 5 minutes that it takes for your sim to go to work? can think of something you could be doing in their lives INSTEAD of waiting for them?
Waiting is no longer… Go to work with your sim(s).. A handful of career options provides endless hours of fun and no job is the same… Next step for the sims, having ALL careers like this

Review by katy on 5th July, 2010
5 stars "Sims ambitions is great!!"

If you were the sims player that likes creating a life for ypur sims with jobs and aims, then this is the game for you. I am not that into building houses and decorating, I would rather my sims to do things and advance in a career or goal.This expansion allows me to take my sims totally new places and creates so many new wishes that you can fulfill. I totally recommend this game!
