In the case of the stylist career, that means having to give one makeover after another to the townies. Once they get to work, the daily grind is played out in the form of career specific mini games. Instead, you have to watch the clock yourself and know when it is time to send them off to work. A job in one of the new professions means they can no longer rely on taking the carpool to work, which means you also don’t get notified the hour before work is due to begin. Right from the start of your Sim’s working day it apparent tha,t from now on, work is going to actually feel like work. Whether or not somebody is going to enjoy the new gameplay involved with sending the Sims to work in one of the new professions is going to wholly depend on just how involved they want to be with their characters. So, I got her straight down to Drea’s Salon and Tattoo Shop to have her join the profession. They all come pre-placed in the Twinbrook, but will need to be manually placed in any of the older neighborhoods for the careers to be playable.Įmbracing all clichés of girly Sims players, I had my sights on my new character going down the stylist path.
Some of the new professions, such as stylist and firefighter, require career-specific buildings. A welcome development, since it should keep the game fresher for much longer than was the case with The Sims 2.Ī few new hobbies such as inventing and sculpting have been thrown into the mix to make the self-employment option more viable. Unlike most of the expansion packs for The Sims and The Sims 2, both World Travels and Ambitions have set out to significantly change the gameplay rather than simply adding some new furniture and hairstyles. Previous to this expansion pack, when the work day started for a Sim, they climbed into the carpool and then vanished from gameplay until their shift was complete. At last, Sims are playable when they are at work. What won’t disappoint any long term Sims players is the chance to finally cross one of the most requested items off the fan wish list. There doesn’t appear to be the option to upload your own custom artwork to make truly unique tattoos, which will undoubtedly be a letdown for those Sims fans that can’t get enough custom content. In true Create A Sim style, you can customize the colour and transparency rate of nearly every aspect of the preloaded tattoos. The tattoo of the grim reaper playing air guitar is evidence the sense of humour Sims fans have come to love is still in place. The preloaded options aren’t bad and range from silly cute to biker rage in style. You can select which body part and where on it you want the tattoo to be placed.
EA has to be given credit for not going half hearted into this tool. Not much has changed in the Create A Sim tool with Ambitions but we do now have the opportunity to ink up our Sims with tattoos.
#WHERE TO BUY SIMS 3 AMBITIONS INSTALL#
Once in the neighborhood, a clean install means a visit to the Create A Sim tool to make a new character. Riverview and Sunset Valley were outstaying their welcome anyway, so this new swamp land-ridden town can only be greeted warmly. The first thing that is different when you load up Ambitions is that we now have a new pre-created neighborhood called Twinbrook to play. In the end, though, my addiction won out and with a clean install and slight trepidation, I stepped into the brave new world of The Sims 3: Ambitions. Enough of a bitter taste was lingering in my mouth to make me uneasy about playing the game so soon after release. I got so fed up that I completely uninstalled The Sims 3 and, until it came time to review the new expansion pack, The Sims 3: Ambitions, it stayed uninstalled. Not just a mere vanishing of them from a particular neighborhood, but such corruption of the files to make them completely unrecoverable.
Installing World Adventures meant the kiss of death to all of my established Sims households. Clearly, with any new game there is the potential for glitches but there are glitches and then there is having your entire game destroyed.
