The '''time machine''' is an object in ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]''. It is created with the [[Inventing]] [[skill]]. It will be about the fifteenth invention of your Sim and it requires inventing level 9. After inventing the time machine, it will be found in the family inventory instead of the personal inventory.
 
The exterior look of the time machine is most likely based on the one seen in ''[[Wikipedia:Blackadder Back and Forth|Blackadder: Back and Forth]]''. A Sim can return with various items including a [[Mysterious Mr. Gnome|caveman gnome]], much as the original Mysterious Mr. Gnome is discovered in the Mausoleum.
Line 15 ⟶ 18:
Additionally, the futuristic outfits that can be gained by going into the future highly resemble the Spectre Armors that can be acquired in Mass Effect.
 
It also makes a reference to Red Faction: Guerilla when it says -Sim- Helpedhelped stand up for miner's rights on marsMars. -simSim- was almost arrested by Earth Police, but found a convenient escape through the timestream before being interrogated.
 
The time machine also makes a quick referenceereference to ''Dragon Age'', when it says, -"(Sim-'s name) got lost in some tunnels, but a warden (The Warden, the main protagonist) escorted them out."

==Effects of time travel==
Traveling to the past can have huge consequences for a Sim's household (new job, new friends, new Sim in the household), while traveling to the future seems to be more harmless, though the Sim sometimes comes back with an object or moodlet. It is also possible for a Sim to return from a time travel trip with a new outfit related to the time period he or she traveled to. There are 4 unique outfits for each gender.
 
===Both===
* Positive or negative 'Traveled in Time' moodlet. (Bigger chance of getting positive moodlet if the Sim has the [[Adventurous]] and/or [[Brave]] traits)
* Random other moodlet.
* Cash. Between §81-§2487. <!--Just edit this number if you find a new min/max-->
* New clothing (including a rusty set of armor and a futuristic suit).
 
===Past===
* New career for random member in household.
* A new Sim joins the household as child of the time traveler, though the infobox will say ancestor.
* If a sim helps a clan on their trip, they will become best friends with the clan's surviving family members.
*If the Sim is a ghost, they may get a message saying "[s/n] went back in time to see how they became a ghost, but accidentally changed events so they never became one! [s/n] is alive again!"
* If the Sim is a ghost, they may get a message saying "<Sim name> went back in time to see how they became a ghost, but accidentally changed events so they never became one! <Sim name> is alive again!"
* If the Sim is a mummy, they can prevent the invention of mummies{{confirm}} and will be cured when they return.
*A mummy might join your household.
