The Sims 3: Ambitions
The Sims 3: Ambitions (Also known as The Sims 3: Hobbies and Professions before the offical announcement), is an expansion pack for The Sims 3 and is tentatively set to be released on June 1st, 2010. It appears to be 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, as well.

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: Sims can create sculptures out of ice, metal, clay and wood whilst another Sim poses for them. (Might have been taken out of The Sims: Bustin' Out)
- 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: 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.
- According to a member of The Sims 3 staff, Sims will even be able to manage their careers to an extent while you are not controlling them.[2]
- 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.
- 9 new jobs: architect, doctor, firefighter, ghosthunter, inventor, private investigator, sculptor, stylist, and tattoo artist.
- Earthquakes are set to appear in this game[3]
- The town seen in the video trailer is a part of Riverview, just next to the bar, but it's possible that a new town can appear.
- New objects (ex. tattoo parlor, Time Machine, trampolines, motorbikes, and other unconfirmed things)[4]
Notes
- While Ambitions contain elements from Open for Business it will not be possible for the player to run their own business in the same style [4]
