The Sims 3: Ambitions

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: Open for Business, but with added activities. It seems to be somewhat related to The Sims 2: Freetime, as well.

EA Games confirmed Ambitions on March 4th, 2010.

Description
Imagine a world where you can make your Sim anything they want to be. Widen your Sim's horizons with a bunch of killer career opportunities. With The Sims 3: Ambitions, decide whether your Sim will be the brave town hero or cause loads of mischief among their neighbors. Make your Sim save the day as a brave firefighter, change your town as a leading architect, or live on the edge as a tattoo artist. Will your Sim find success as a billionaire high-tech inventor or eke out a living as a bumbling mad scientist? Will they uncover secrets as a private investigator by dusting for prints or roughing up a suspect for information? Will they walk the runways as a fashion diva with exhilarating and sexy style? Their future is entirely in your hands!

Features

 * New creature: Servo. Servos have been seen in images and are built by Sims who have inventing skills.
 * 3 new skills; Sculpting, inventing, and tattooing
 * Sculpting: Sims can create sculptures out of ice, metal, clay and wood another posing Sim they are looking at.
 * Inventing: There seems to be a wide variety of inventions. Servos are back, along with what appears to be a time machine in the trailer. Sims get scraps for inventions from scrapyards, a new type of lot, or by blowing things up.
 * Tattooing is not only a skill, but a career. Up to five layers of tattoos can be done. It is currently unknown whether the tattoos are stencils or freestyle.
 * Control Sim’s actions and interactions while they’re on the job. It is rumored that rabbit holes will disappear and all buildings can be seen.
 * On-the-job choices now change the town and affect other Sims as well. Players modify the town’s structure as an architect or set neighborhood fashions as a stylist.
 * Many new jobs such as firefighter, private investigator, doctor, and ghost hunter.
 * Earthquakes are set to appear in this game


 * The town seen in the video trailer does not seem to be Sunset Valley or Riverview, possibly hinting at a new town. It is also possible, however, that this was created just for the trailer. It is also possible that this is Sunset Valley or Riverview after being changed through the game. This could also be Sunset Valley or Riverview edited with the new Edit Town tools, which can modify lots and such.
