The Sims 3: Ambitions (The Sims 3: Hobbies and Professions), is an expansion pack for The Sims 3 and is tentatively set to be released on June 4th 2010. It appears to be a remake of The Sims 2: FreeTime, but with added activities. EA Games confirmed The Sims 3 Ambitions on March 4, 2010.

Rumours
The Sims 3: Hobbies and Professions was first heard to be on the release list of a Dutch store, Bart Smit, in January 2010. The original article announcing this on the Dutch site, SimsPlanet2, was taken down at the request of Electronic Arts.

Infinite Sims reported in February 2010 that the expansion pack is available for pre-order at Take 2, a South African site, as well as The Sims 3: Create a Sim.
