[[File:Investigator career icon.png|left]] '''Investigator''' is a [[career|profession]] introduced in ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]''.
 
Unique among the possible careers, Investigators work freelance, having no set [[time]] or location to work. Instead, they acquire [[/cases/]] either by going to the [[police station]], researching cases on a [[computer]], or waiting for clients to call them.
 
[[Investigator/cases/|Cases]] are solved by [[Rummage|rummaging]] through mail and garbage, snooping for clues at various locations, dusting for prints, and - most importantly - talking with other Sims[[Sim]]s. However, occasionally problems in the investigation will arise. For example, it may be necessary for an investigator to pick locks in order to get inside homes to search for clues and sometimes other Sims will need to be convinced to talk, either by being befriended, being bribed, or simply by being beaten up by the investigator. Be aware that beating up other Sims make your relationship with that Sim go down, and if you do not have a high [[athletic]] skill, you might just lose the fight.
 
Less ethical investigators (even by investigator standards) can steal objects from locations as being "evidence," much like Sims with the [[Kleptomaniac]] trait. They can also use evidence found in mailboxes and garbage cans to blackmail other Sims, although this action is not always successful. Also, Investigators with no love for critters crawling at the outdoors can misuse their magnifying glass to fry the insects and making them explode, negligibly boosting fun for the Investigator. This can also be done at night time, strangely enough.

*Sometimes when holdingsnooping afor stakeoutclues, Sims will mention that it reminds them of when Bella disappeared, referring to [[Bella Goth]]'s disappearance in ''[[The Sims 2]]'', which doesn't make sense given that ''The Sims 2'' takes place 50 years later.
*Since there is no set [[time]] for this career, [[Workaholic]]s are not affected and therefore the 'Missing Work' [[moodlet]] does not appear.
*The most supporting [[Trait (The Sims 3)|traits]] for this career are [[Genius]], [[Perceptive]] and [[Computer Whiz]]
*The eligible [[lifetime wish]] for this is "Pervasive Private Eye".
