[[File:TS3A Reflect.png|left]] '''''The Sims 3: Ambitions''''' is the second [[expansion pack]] for ''[[The Sims 3]]'' released on June 1, 2010. It allows players to become "fearless heroes and ace entrepreneurs". In other words, it's a career oriented expansion pack, a spiritual remake of ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'', but with added activities. ''Ambitions'' also appears to be somewhat related to ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]''.
