Ashleigh’s Review of The Sims 3 Ambitions

Hey all! Ambitions is finally here and I’ve been lucky enough to get the new expansion and play it for a few days. Now I’m giving my review here!

Introduction

The Sims 3 Ambitions is the newest expansion pack for The Sims 3, released on June 1st, 2010. For the first time ever, Simmers can control what their Sims do at work and shape the world around them with their skills (or lack of skill) in the workplace.

New Ambitions Video: “Need You Now”

19 May

Finally! Some more Ambitions videos! EA has just released the music video for one of the new Simlish music tracks featured in Ambitions, “Need You Now” by Lady Antebellum.

New Screenshots and Info for Ambitions

19 May

EA has recently released some new screenshots and music videos for their upcoming expansion pack, The Sims 3 Ambitions!

Grant Rodiek has posted a new entry to his blog, in which he reveals more information about the Architecture, Tattoo Artist and Fashion Designer careers. There are also some new screenshots from these careers for you to enjoy.

Some players of The Sims never leave the deep architectural shopping catalog that is Buy Mode or the Create a Sim character creation machine. We’re completely fine with this, but we couldn’t overlook the opportunity to bring these wildly creative players into Live Mode for The Sims 3 Ambitions.

The Architectural Design and Stylist careers will do exactly this, while setting your Sim up as a tattoo artist with a tattoo chair is another sure-fire way to get your creative fix in Live Mode. Get ready for a “day in the life” as we follow a Sim in each of these professions!

The Sims 3 World Adventures iPhone Reviews

28 Apr

Sorry about my long absence, but, to be honest, you didn’t really miss much news. I just wanted to update you on two interesting World Adventures reviews for the iPhone Application in which they share quite a few screens. Check them out:

The biggest difference in World Adventures is the scope of the game with added locations that you can travel to. If you loved the gameplay of the original but felt the original Sims 3’s world was a bit small, this version is for you. Beyond your own town, there are 3 additional locations including Egypt, France and China. Each location has its own buildings, inhabitants, goals and tourist attractions. Also included are 52 new goals and 4 new mini-games. The mini games include ruin exploration, air flight, bartering and language games. Succeeding in these mini-games help you along the way. For example, the in flight mini game prevents you from getting air sick which will suck up valuable time at your destination while you recoup. Meanwhile better language skills add to your charm, improving your interaction with others.

Far too much of your time is spent on domestic activities rather than exploring the new locations and accompanying goals. In other words, it carries too much of the baggage from the original game.

When you do arrive at one the game’s much-hyped destinations, there are sights to see and locals to chat up. Each decently sized location has its own unique activities like visiting the Sphinx, socialising with Chinese natives, or learning French cuisine. Touring the Arc de Triomphe, for instance, involves watching a scripted slide show with superimposed images of your sim in weird poses accompanied by historical facts.

It’s an opportunity lost – why not allow sightseeing in which your sim can take photos that are saved to your device’s camera roll, which can then be shared with friends?

Lot: 128 La Moderna

28 Apr

Hey guys, I’ve found a truly lovely home that would fit right into any modern, sleek neighbourhood and I’m bringing it to you to enjoy!

128 La Moderna is a gorgeous two story home with a large car port, indoor pool, five bedrooms, three baths with a garden tub that’s been Sim-tested, two fireplaces, a deck and a study. It’s perfect for any large family with high standards in taste. (click the image on the left to enlarge)

The download does contain quite a few Store items, but it still looks beautiful in games with no Store content at all. The creator, Wannapha6, also has a video tour of the home located in her studio. She really does amazing work. Be sure to give her a recommendation and click the favourite button if you like her work.

Happy Simming!

Ashleigh.
