The newest Sims 3 expansion, The Sims 3: Ambitions,
isn't going to change your mind about the biggest PC gaming franchise
ever. It doesn't radically reinvent the series, but it is much more
substantial than I think a lot of people give Sims expansions credit for
being. This isn't just a few new outfits or the ability to have a pet
(though it does, of course, add new features both major and minor), this
expansion radically alters the way characters pursue their careers,
making for a more satisfying Sims experience.
In Sims 3 the main appeal is running and observing the life of your Sims
-- little avatars you can give commands to. After creating your Sims --
which is a worthwhile thing in Ambitions, since several new traits and
life goals have been added -- you get to jump into a large town and
start deciding how you want them to live their lives. Previously you
could dictate almost all their actions, with the notable exception being
their job. Sure, you could pick their career, and in some cases you
could directly control their livelihood if they were making ends meet as
an artist or musician, but most jobs boiled down to your Sim
disappearing during the day and you collecting a check when they were
back.
Who you gonna call?
Ambitions
changes this dramatically, giving players the choice between having a
career and a profession. Careers still operate the same way they always
have (with the exception of the Doctor, who has enhanced profession
features), while professions allow players to participate in their Sims
jobs actively, never having to lose direct control over them. The
included professions are Doctor, Ghost Hunter, Private Investigator,
Stylist, Firefighter, and Architectural Designer. The jobs are every bit
as varied as they sound and, more importantly, they're a lot of fun to
play. Even the jobs I didn't think I had any interest in -- like the
stylist -- manage to be fun and keep me engaged simply because they
change from moment to moment, demanding more attention.
The reason professions manage to keep you so much more engaged than
careers is that they allow you to craft a more in-depth story for you
Sim -- ostensibly the entire reason for playing. Previously, players
were making stories for their Sims outside of work, crafting their love
lives and what have you, but work was largely just a drop down menu
where you picked how hard they pushed themselves. Now that you can
directly control them on the job you can really have their personalities
shine through; evil Sims might steal while Ghost Hunting, or
Firefighters who are lazy might stop to watch some T.V. while a house
burns. How hard you work really is directly the result of how much you
want to micromanage your Sim's life.
The only downside to the professions is that they're so much better than
careers that they make me want more choices. Careers are downright
boring compared to professions, and I can't picture myself going back to
the old jobs, but ultimately having only six to choose from is not all
that much. Not that I expect it to stay this way, as I'm just sure EA is
prepping more professions for us to purchase in the Sims online store.
Be a hero.
Other
minor changes also come in the expansion, but with a few notable
exceptions that add a lot of potential options to how you play. New
traits and lifetime wishes are available for players just itching to
create some new Sims, but the cooler, more substantial additions are in
the new Inventing and Sculpting hobbies. Sculpting allows you to create
statues of other Sims or even objects like chairs, while Inventing
allows you to make several cool tools that can help your Sim in their
life. For instance, your inventing Sim might create a Floor Hygienator
which they can place in their house just so they can walk by to get
cleaner. These hobbies are ultimately what you make of them, but are
great ways for you to tell yet another story about your character. After
all, who hasn't wanted to make a disturbed mad inventor who just sits
in his house and tinkers day in and out? Or maybe an obsessive sculptor
who befriends Sims just so he can get them to come over to craft their
bodies in clay?
When so many Sims expansions have seemed relatively inconsequential,
Ambitions stands out for how substantially it alters a key component of
the game. The new profession system will doubtless keep Sims 3 fans busy
for many more hours, and the other additions included will also give
players plenty of new stories to tell for Sims both new and old. If this
is the type of content we can expect from Sims 3 expansions going
forward, content that evolves core game mechanics, color me impressed.
