I like this game.

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2016

Platform: PC/MacVerified Purchase

The order came two days late, and I wasn't happy with the delivery service because of that. But, when I got it today I was glad that it came in good condition. Also, the game works really well except that it froze a couple times; but that has more to do with my computer's issues than it does the disc. This expansion pack turned out to be a good deal so far, because it has a variety of new jobs for your sims to do; or at least they're new to me anyway, since this is an old game. Also, another feature I like is that you get to see what your sims do at work and actively participate in some jobs; like being a firefighter, and a stylist for example. I like that a lot better than the sims disappearing into a rabbit hole for a few hours in their time, and waiting around for them to get off work. As for the other options, you'll have to buy the game and look them up in the booklet to find out about them. There are also some new outfits and unique hairstyles for both male and female sims, including some new tattoos; some of which are cool like the koi fish one for example, and some of which are lame like the sword I could barely see.

Twinbrook is one of the better towns

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2012

Platform: PC/MacVerified Purchase

I had delayed in ordering this expansion pack for quite awhile, as I'm not one to really concentrate on furthering my Sim's careers. I always thought, that why would you want a dead end job in a game too ha-ha! Though, I have to say I'm surprised that I like Ambitions so much. I had been getting bored of the towns I was playing in, so I decided to go with ordering Ambitions over The Sims 3 Supernatural Limited Edition as I'm not a huge fan of the monsters/vampires and The Sims 3 Seasons wasn't available yet (though I do plan on ordering those in the future).

Twinbrook is the town that you will get when you get Ambitions and it's probably my favorite town of all so far. I love the houses, they are so much more functional. Also, Twinbrook is situated on the water, it looks like an island a bit. Many of the more expensive homes are built on platforms or pile-ons and I love the new lofts you can make. There's quite a few new lifetime rewards and personality traits you can add too. There's also new hairstyles for men and women added, and a few new clothing options. I also like the new wall and fabric options.

I also think that the premade townie families are less boring in Ambitions. I started out playing a townie who wanted to be a Stylist and fulfilled her lifetime wish rather quickly, as I always loved making new Sims, I love to makeover the whole town. She ended up marrying a man who was an inventor and it was funny to have him detonate his wares at the consignment shop when the cashier made him mad ha-ha!

The only thing I don't like on this one is on the Stylist career, when you need to take a photo for your portfolio, if you are playing with a touchpad it's impossible to get a photo of the Sim you just madeover. My Sim's portfolio is full of photo's of walls!

Overall, this one is much more fun than I thought it would be, these jobs have much more freedom than the traditional rabbit hole jobs. Even if you're not the kind of player to concentrate on your Sim's careers you might like this one anyway, I know I do.

Good expansion pack, but beware when you install!

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2010

Platform: PC/MacVerified Purchase

I bought this expansion pack for my daughter for Christmas. She loves Sims 3 and has had no problems with it before. She installed this on Christmas Day, and Sims wouldn't start. We got an error "there was a problem during startup. Check the log for more details". I jumped online and searched for the error, finding MANY users were having this problem after installing Ambitions. The only solution any of them had found was to completely uninstall Sims 3 and all expansion packs, then reboot, then re-install everything from scratch. This seemed crazy to me, so I did a live chat with EA support. Their solution? Uninstall everything, reboot, and re-install everything in a specific order, being sure to patch each one to the current level before proceeding to the next.

The explanation from EA support is that if you install Ambitions and any one of your installed expansion packs, or the base game, are not patched to the most current version, Ambitions basically breaks the application.

So I spent a couple of hours backing up the games, uninstalling the expansion packs one at a time, patching them, then moving on. After all that, the game works again and Ambitions is a nice addition to Sims 3. But this was completely unacceptable. To require users to go through this without offering a simpler solution is ridiculous.

I gave the expansion pack 3 stars because while it's a 5 star addition to Sims 3, it corrupted Sims and required several hours of work to get it working again.

The Sims 3: Ambitions

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2012

Platform: PC/MacVerified Purchase

The Sims3 Ambitions, is okay and there is fun, but the original price is not worth it (i got a good price from Amazon.com) I like the game play and it is fun to be a firemen and put out fires, some new items (very few) a working washer and dryer and laundromat, but something is just off about these add ons for Sims 3, i just can`t quite figure it out, but the Sims 2 was always great in all areas of the game and add ons. I do so love The Sims games, From Sims 1, 2 and maybe 3 (not sure about The Sims 3) I won`t stop playing Sims 3 on PC, but to be real with you, i like The Sims 3 on Playstation 3 much better, (call me crazy) I play The Sims 2 alot more. Sorry my reveiw is not longer, but i never got bored with the The Sims 1 & 2, but "Happy Simming" to one and all, maybe i will come back and update after even more game play. I have the "Hard Copy" version, i don`t care for "digital downloads" The Sims 3: Ambitions [Download ]

Ambitions is a fantastic expansion pack if you're growing tired with the usual career paths offered. On top of that, though, it doesn't add much else to the game. You can often play with the expansion without really interacting with its careers, and the new city has a very sparse and cold feel to it.
