Product ReviewsSims 3: Ambitions (Windows/Mac: Mac and Windows, 2010)

Good Expansion

This is a pretty good expansion. It adds so much to the gameplay. The only problem I have so far is that if you have two or three people with one of these fully interactive jobs, it can get difficult to juggle all of them while getting the best results. On the contrary, you can get promotions in these fields super-fast if you play it right. I have a firefighter character that climbed from rank 1 to rank 6 in less than a week. That doesn't happen in other jobs. That's kind of an up as well as a down, since it feels like you're progressing too fast sometimes.
Another thing they added is the fact that you can register as self-employed if you paint, write, invent, or sculpt for a living. This is kinda cool but, aside from the fact that you get promotions for earning certain amounts of money (which can lead to positive moodlets for certain traits), it doesn't seem to benefit at all.
I know it seems like I'm giving so much negative feedback on this game, but really it's fun. I really like the laundry thing that comes with it. You can choose to do or not do laundry, but if you do, you get positive moodlets just from changing into clean clothes and sleeping in clean sheets, which is nice at the beginning of the game, when all of your stuff is cheap merchandise.
Aside from these things I decided to write about, there are so many other cool things about this expansion pack, many of which I haven't explored. In summary, it adds a lot of cool stuff to the game, but there are some slight downsides to it as well.
One thing I did notice is that the game kinda messes up on my computer since installing the update. It's probably just my weird computer though, and it's nothing to freak out about.Read full review...

The Sims 3: Ambitions (PC, 2010)

A great addition to any Sims 3 collection! The only downfall is that you need the Sims 3 World Adventures to utilize all the features. Fun and challenging, Ambitions adds several occupations, many more homes and home building choices (it is another whole town), and a few extra clothing/hair choices. Allows the player to control their sim while the sim's at work unlike past Sims games. Seems to be one of the most fun and fully packed expansions for Sims 3.Read full review...

Amazing addictive game play but in a good way

Very good graphics. My kids are always playing sometimes for hours so its very addictive. Very good value for money

challenging but worth it

The game first was quite challenging but after constantly trying to over come the task I found the game to be great. I plan on buying many more of them.

Great buy!

I am happy that I jumped on this deal and at such a steal at that, 4 bucks for the sims 3 Ambitions. The gameplay is awesome I was skeptical as I thought it wouldn't work but it only took a few minutes to download and install. Now I have a laundry room and I'm thinking of getting my sims New jobs so they can reach new goals. I'm very happy with my order, you won't regret hours of gameplay when it comes to the Sims.Read full review...

Awesome Addition!

This expansion adds a couple new fun job opportunities; such as a spy, ghost hunter & inventor. And the cool thing is you get to interact with your sims when they go to work. I really enjoy this expansion. I would recommend to anyone who wants some new excitement in their sims lives.Read full review...

To go with a 1st Edition Sims 3 disk

I had The Sims 3 Starter Pack with Late Night and High End Lofts disc. You must go online and make an account to install, cheats don't work, and you must go ONLINE to play OFFLINE. So I bought the 1st Edition Sims 3, Late Night Expansion, Ambitions Expansion, and High End Lofts; all installed without an account, I can play offline, and my mods and cheats all work. I was able to update all of them also.Read full review...

Very fun!

I love the sims 3 ambitions. It is very fun to play. I haven't done much with it yet but I am currently working on my witch sim whom has joined the alchemy career.
