The Sims 3 Ambitions

The Sims 3 Ambitions – Is this the real life, or is this just fantasy?

It’s a little known secret that the most popular game ever is The Sims. Not only is this game popular with players of just about every age but also due to the actions and random events, it opens itself wide open to boys and girls alike.

As with all Sims games, you get to spend an age tweaking your character. Everything from the gender, appearance and character are able to be altered. If you are pushed for time and haven’t got a character to start with, don’t worry, you can randomise a Sim with one deft press of the appropriate button.

Now that you’re satisfied with your Sims appearance, attitude and ambition, you must apply these in the ‘real’ world. Starting out at your home, you have all the basic things you could need, from living-room, bathroom and bedroom. Although your home is pretty sparsely decorated, with a settee, fridge, bed, phone, shower, lavatory and TV, it’s your computer you must swiftly get familiar with to search for a job – after all, without a job, you can’t afford to eat, buy kit to improve your skills (which improve your job) and generally enjoy yourself with.

One thing to remember is that all work and no play does make for a bit of a bleak future, so it’s important to try your Sim’s hand at anything possible. Whether it’s learning to paint using an easel, through to playing guitar or cooking, you must try to ensure your Sims needs are met. To do this, you must not just follow the ambitions but also pick up friends along the way and be social or as antisocial as you wish.

Thankfully this game does have a bit of depth to it as it’s not just about working your fingers to the bone. Instead, you can be a layabout and do as little as possible if that is your wish. The most important thing of all is to ensure every criterion is met and not to let it get on top of you or your Sim.

Ultimately, this game can be as straightforward or as complicated as you wish from the start, but it can be more than a handful as the game progresses and the stresses of work, home and social life all take their toll.

Although this game is a bit of a stripped down version of Sims 3 game, all the main things are there for you to enjoy and is pretty good even so.
