    Showing Sims at work gives us more simple but enjoyable ways to play, though it still needs help from our imaginations. But I think that World of Adventiores, Pets, and Late night are better!

    Sims 3 ambitions is fun and adds lots of new "Proffesions" the most fun probably being architect these new professions actually let you control your sim at work. You can now also register as self employed which is an encouraging step forward towards an open for business style expansion pack with any look. Before that we have Late Night and Generations :)

    I liked the ambitions found the city a little beasts if I may say so, but the idea of professions adoorei played with all of them ... The Sims 3 walks quite surprising me, is legal but missed some things.

    I think this has to be my favourite expansion, which surprised me, because I was sure the Late Night expansion or World Adventures, but I have to say the new professions - especially the Ghost Hunter - is, by far, my favourite aspect of this expansion. I love the Ghost Hunter, it's a hilarious job and it's a nice diversion from the normal "real life" roleplaying that I usually do in thisI think this has to be my favourite expansion, which surprised me, because I was sure the Late Night expansion or World Adventures, but I have to say the new professions - especially the Ghost Hunter - is, by far, my favourite aspect of this expansion.

The addition of getting hit by a meteor is a fantastic addition to this game as well that I didn't expect. LOL! World Adventures and Late Night are tied for second as my favourite expansions.… Expand

    The Sims 3: Ambitions is an add-on that actually adds something. It changes the way the game plays and adds six different occupations which are great fun, but can be a bit hard to combine with a large virtual family.

    The best job of all may be to cound the daily revenue for The Sims 3 at EA, but this add-on probably comes quite close. Even though it's a bit more of the same, it's hard to escape the typical Sims charm.

    The Sims 3 : Ambitions clearly peers at the Adventure genre, in an apparent attempt at pepping up its gameplay. A new direction that we already felt with World Adventures, the first expansion pack. As it was the case with this previous one, it's the opening of a new side of the title that makes this expansion interesting. The impact those new experiences have in the long run on the personal stories of the avatars help forgetting the immediacy they may seem to have at first glance. For the first time, our Sims live real and distinctive lives and their interactions have influence over their neighbors' lives.
